failed after 2 years
Nice design and it worked well for 2 years, then failed. Not what I would expect for a belkin product. Shopping for another maker next time.

Does not handle unpowered devices like iPods.
Overall does what a hub should do. Works 100% with powered devices like printers and scanners. But it doesn't like iPods: the connection will be lost (not a good idea to disconnect an iPod without "ejecting" it), or no connection will be made at all, or the port on the computer where the hub is connected will lock up.

Also, the build quality is poor. The silver finish is uneven, even worn off (out of the box) in a few spots. And the clear cover over the LED indicators is falling off.

Perhaps Belkin's new "Plus" hubs are better, but I'm not willing to find out.

Just What I Needed
I'm happy with my recent purchase of the Belkin Hi-Speed USB hub. I'd long ago run out of extra USB ports on the back of my computer and was constantly crawling on hands and knees each time I needed to plug in my USB memory stick or digital camera. This is MUCH easier. It mounts on the desk top, maintains a low profile, looks attractive and does the job. Sleek and slick.

No problems and quite convenient
Some earlier reviews say it heats up too much. Not so. I recently purchased a big wonderful iMac 24". The only design flaw is that the USB and firewire outlets are inconveniently located on back of monitor. With this little puppy, you have quick and easy access to a bunch of USB outlets. I find it very useful and after a month, no heat or other problems.
