I have had one for a year, with no problems. I have a film scanner, external hard drive, flat bed scanner and photo printer hooked to the USB Hub.

Update (2/8/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Unreliable
I purchased this product from a retailer, but returned it in favor of a 7-port StarTech hub from Amazon. As some other reviewers have noted (elsewhere on Amazon and on other ratings sites), this hub is unreliable. After a day or two, it dropped its connection to the computer, and I had to unplug the USB connection to get it to be recognized again.

I borrowed a cheap USB 2.0 hub from a friend, and it worked fine, so I realized that the problem was caused by this hub and was not a computer problem. Belkin’s only advice was that this hub might work if it wasn’t connected to a surge suppressor. The explanation simply didn’t jive with the facts, and removing a safety device seemed to be a ludicrous solution, anyway.

They’ve lost my confidence…I don’t recommend this product. There are cheaper, more reliable products out there. (So far, I’m very happy with the StarTech ST7200USB 7-port hub I got from Amazon.)

Good product
The Belkin 4 port Hub is economical and reliable. It is designed for easy access and sits on the desktop rather than the bundle of son in the back of the computer tower.
