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...

Advantages: small, reliable to use
Disadvantages: Cost is a bit too much

...This item is just like any other USB cable. The USB can be used for equipment such as printers, modems, memory sticks etc. Normally when you buy a USB wire both of the sides are the same but this item different as it has one small USB on one side and one big USB on the other side. The big USB on one side is mainly used to insert into the computer and the other small end is used to insert into printers, digital cameras and modems and many more but just make sure that there is a small USB port on the equipment which you are going to use it on before you buy this product. The one thing that I don't like is the price of this item as I think it is too much for just one wire and they should be much cheaper. These USB cables will last a very long time and are very reliable as they will work all the time. The wire is very strong... Read review

Advantages: 4 GB of data storage
Disadvantages: lacks innovation in design

...keeping.however, it certainly is a clever protector for the pin USB connector. The 4GB of capacity space stores many more media files, like hi-definition WAVS and MP3 sound files AVI files MP4 files for mobile content such as video and film clips, can be stored without any file compression requirements. Compatible for cross purpose platforms PC/Mac - or on Laptops. Thank you for reading this review, I hope it was helpful. copyright - 1st2thebar 2008... Read review

Advantages: Fast, Large amount of storage, small sized product, great alround
Disadvantages: no neck strap supplied, minor detail.

...-----| Reason for buying |----- I bought this as an upgrade from my 1GB stick, as i required more space and a more reliable stick, my old one used to corrupt my files. The price was also very attractive for its size, £17.99 for a 4GB USB stick was exceptional when I bought it around 4 or 5 months ago. -----| What I have used it for |----- I used this throughout my studies at school, it was in constant use, exchagning data to and from it numerous times a day. Each transfer was fast, due to it being USB 2.0, and with no corruptions or file loss. I have also used it to transport mp3 files, movies, and game files (very large files basically, upwards of 2GB) and it did this perfectly. -----| Pros |----- Very large even by todays standards, large enough to transport any media type, and lots of it. Small but doesnt feel... Read review

Advantages: Price.
Disadvantages: You have to destroy the box to get the unit out.

...Trust 4 Port USB Hub. Basics first I suppose. For the non techies out there, this device is used to connect up to four USB devices to your P.C., such as digital cameras. If like me you only have two USB ports on the back of your pc then this little device is a good investment for you. It is external, so there is no need to take the sides off of your computer and start mucking about inside. The box contents are as follows. USB Hub USB Cable Velcro Tape Protective Carry Case Multi Language User's Manual. The hub is a small black unit with single connecting point on the back and four USB ports on the front for your USB peripheral such as digital cameras and MP3 players. A really big well done for Ciao for not putting a picture up, as I did provide the web address so that they could. The dimensions are 75mm... Read review

Advantages: Easiest Possible Installation
Disadvantages: Uses Yet Another Mains Socket

...Trying to think of a funny one liner to start this opinion like I usually do has been somewhat impossible, so I haven’t got one this time. Sorry :( Anyway, on we go. ----=What Is USB?=---- Universal Serial Bus. In short, USB is the type of connection that almost all devices (such as printers, scanners, camera's etc) use to connect to your computer. It is a small rectangular socket found on the back (or front) usually found in pairs. *Warning Techie bit coming up*. Old Serial devices used to be able to transfer data at about 112kb per second. USB can transfer at more like 12Mb per second. This opens up the opportunities to huge data transfer, much much quicker than ever before. This is known as USB 1.1. There is however an even newer version of USB on the horizon. USB 2.0 supports data transfer of speeds up to 480Mb per... Read review

Advantages: transfer speed over usb
Disadvantages: u have to make sure u have the right pin combinations

...are going to trasnfer any video to a computer its firewire all the way, it trasnfers at 480mbs which is great quality, as oppose to usb.1.0 that is 11mbs, the quality you will get , both sound and video, is amazing in comparison. the only trouble you may have is matching the pin sizes to you firewire card and you dv camera. the standard dv size is 4 pin to 6 pin, but on a laptop, the firewire cable you are likely to need is 4 pin to 4 pin, as the laptop has a 4 pin firewire socket in it. it is always best to check which ports you need , otherwise you will be stuck with a none fitting cable. so overal firewire is a great product, this cable was fast and relible and i would very much reccomend it at such a low price. : ) danny...

Disadvantages: small and fiddly

...**BUFFALO Ultra High Speed USB Flash Drive (Type R ) Memory key 2GB** - What is Flash Drive Type R?- The notable difference with the two types is that the R version is 4 months older in the market than TYPE S.
