Keyspan USB 4-Port Serial Adapter

Advantages: Works straight out of the box, Easily Portable
Disadvantages: Short connection cable, Only gives you 3 more ports

...I bought this Hub for my Dell Laptop around a month ago now. It is a good product, and was particuarly easy to install. It works straight out of the box and the computer installs the drivers for you, so there is no need to install any extra software. I dont receive any noticable performance drop of something that is connected through the HUB, although my Wireless mouse which uses a USB connection is for some reason not recognized when used through the Hub. This could be a problem with the mouse, although I have had no problems with it so far (It is a Logitech v500 Cordless mouse). I would recommend the product for someone who is running out of USB ports on a Laptop computer, although I think there are better products out there if portability is not a factor (ie a Desktop computer). Another point worthy of note is that it has a very short... Read review

Advantages: Ecconomical
Disadvantages: Not heavy duty

...This is an exceptionally easy product to conect to your PC, with no reboot required. It also come swith an attractive stand allowing you to easily position for optimal anywhere on your desk, unlike other similar devises which comes with an usb extention cable with you have to find somewhere to stick it to. If you use your PC for extended periods or leave it on all the time like I do, this is not the product for you. As it is simply not heavy duty enough, and due to it's ecconomical design can burn out, like mine did. However if you simply want to surf the net and play the occasional game this more than adequite. For the ecconomical price it is a good buy however if you use your computer constantly it will be worth investing in something a bit more hard wearing.... Read review

Advantages: Have plenty of USB ports at any time
Disadvantages: Can be a bit of a pain when it comes to the power supply.

...the ports so much easier. Which model did I choose? I chose the Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 4-Port Hub; this was based on the price, availability and looks. The price and availability of the USB hub were my main purchasing considerations. What did I get? I got the main USB hub, a connection cable (one end plugs into the hub and the other plugs into a USB port on the computer), a transformer (this supplies power to the hub via a cable that plugs into the hub, more about this later in the review) and very limited instructions. This all gave me change from £25. What does it look like? The hub itself is squircle shaped (a cross between a square and a circle) on one end are four USB ports, at one side is a socket for connecting the USB lead that connects the hub to the computer and another socket for the power supply that comes from...
