Rating: 4.59/5 from 17 reviews Great, compact usb hub for mobile or desktop users!It works perfectly!I love this product! I read the reviews of all the hubs and was confused about what would work and what wouldn't and "powered" vrs "un-powered"... So I decided to buy a cheap, un-powered hub and see if it worked and go from there. It works perfectly! I have a 2-yr old PC running Windows 98 second edition. I only have two USB ports and was ready to buy a new PC just to get more ports since every peripheral nowadays uses USB. A friend told me about USB hubs--essentially an extension cord for your USB ports. I plugged-in the Targus (the blue lights are cool), and plugged into the Targus the following--internet cable modem, scanner, DVD burner, and MP3 player. I rebooted (probably not necessary, but it never hurts), and everything is totally cool. Now, I'll get another year out of this PC before I upgrade and I WILL keep the Targus hub--it saved Christmas! Does exactly what it is supposed to, at a good priceI chose this just because I wanted something cheap. I have heard bad things about some other brands overheating or having various problems, but I have been using this a few months and found no problems whatsoever. It remains room temperature and has had no bandwidth or power problems for me. It appears to have a place to connect a power supply (not included), but that doesn't seem to be listed as a feature so I cannot guarantee it. It has two USB plugs so you can get the power from a second USB port if you need it. I have only needed one. My only complaint with the device is having that extra plug sitting around (attached to the cord), but of course that isn't a problem if you use it. It's cheap and it works, so I recommend this item. | ||||||||||||||
I have a couple of USB devices that are powered through the USB port as well and my concern was whether they would still be active through this hub. I plugged both into the hub and both were powered up!!
And the 4 ports light up with a nice blue led color that's looks really cool!! Targus should show this in their ads/marketing material because it definitely makes the hub look much cooler!
This is a great bargain and perfect for people that need a simple & compact USB hub for all their gadgets.
Definitely recommended!!
