    Again? How many times should I say that this hub supports only USB 1.0 speed? Please stop confusing people with a wrong descrption.

    Yes, I too fell for this and sold it on craigslist within 2 hrs for $5 cash. It's only usb 2 compatible at 1.1 speed.

    It sux, the powered part is only for the flashy lights, it only supports like one or two devices before it locks up.

    You can get a 4 port one from Belkin or D-Link for about the same price...

    Shouldn't all 1.1 devices have gone the way of the dodo by now?

    I want to express the same thing. Do not buy this product, it completely stopped working on me in less than 2 days.

    A total POS. I installed this a couple of weeks ago and just threw it in the trash yesterday. Some of the time, my PC couldn't find the hub; most of the time, it couldn't find devices that were plugged into the hub. On a few occasions, it worked for some devices but stopped working randomly.

    Back to name brands and paying a few dollars more for something that actually works when I need it to work. Ben, dump this one.

    I have three of these working on different computers.

    The blinking light was really annoying so I pried the case apart, twisted the blinking LED with a pliers and replaced the top.

    The glow is nice and I don't have any USB 2.0 for for the price they were fine.
