Summary: Does a great job...and looks pretty doing it.
Comment: With the ever increasing amount of computer devices that make use of USB technology I have now ended up with a lot more devices than the ports on my computer can accommodate. I was thinking about getting a USB 2.0 PCI card but as I don't actually have very many USB 2.0 devices I didn't see the point. Instead I opted to go for a USB 2.0 hub (as I have USB 2.0 ports on my computer) and so rather than having many devices competing for bandwidth I now have enough bandwidth to just share to all my devices so they can all run at optimum speed simultaneously, from 1 port on my computer.Set-up - Easy. Installed very simply and the software that comes with it helps to show exactly whats connected and where. It even helps you control your USB devices which aren't even connected to the hub. I think the hardest part was deciding which picture I wanted to put in the front of it!
Image - One sexy little beast. It has certainly helped tidy up all the cables on my desk. The picture frame really helps make it look like more than just a box. Some people might prefer blue LEDs but thats just one of those things.
Performance - Spot on. Recognises new devices instantly and so the only thing you have to wait for is windows to install the drivers. If something isn't working the LEDs provide you with a quick visual way of finding out what's going on.
All in all, I really can't complain. Its a good looking little hub that does exactly what is asked of it. Who could ask for more? Definate thumbs up from me.
My only problem now is do I get a 4-port of another 7-port version to stack onto it? Decisions decisions...

Summary: Not So Sure!!!!
Comment: I purchased this and set it up as per instructions, ran perfectly for a day or two then 4 of the ports just stopped working. I contacted Adaptec for their views and although they give you an automated response saying they will reply within 48 hours, I am still waiting some days on. I have piggy backed it now with the X-Hub 4 and I am getting my 7 ports , but I want 11 from these not just 7.....So I have to admit to being pretty disappointed with the product and service right now from Adaptec.
