I'm very happy with my new 4 port USB hub, as I was getting broadband and needed to run a printer, scanner, digital camera and a modem off 2 USB ports. So I purchased this from Amazon for £9.84, the only problem would have been the £5.89 P&P change, but luckily I ordered it with a couple of CD's taking it over £25 and using the free super saver P&P system.
USB ports are needed for many items, like the ones I mentioned, aswell as Mp3 players, digital camcorders, linking up PCs and phones, and many more. They are a source of transferring data, through the cable, and either from or to the item to the pc or vise versa.
Once it arrived, I unpacked it with ease, plugged it into a free USB port, the green power light came on, on it, Windows XP found it instantly, and I have had no problems since whatsoever.
This item is deceptively small, and the only problem with it apart from P&P is the cord is only 5cm long, that doesn't trouble me but if anybody needs it coming round the front of their system, sorry!

I treated myself to this as I discovered that my new laptop only had 2 USB ports, and I had an awful lot more than that in the way of equipment I needed to plug in. After researching what was available, I decided on this one as not only was the price... more
