Belkin F4U006-RED 4 Port Travel USB Hub in Red
This review is from : Belkin F4U006-RED 4 Port Travel USB Hub in Red
Works for Me . Cheap and easy. I am using it on a pc because all available usb ports were in use. I am glad the previous reviewer brought the design of the offset plug end to my attention, but in my particular application it is not a problem.
I like the round format. I used to have a rectangular hub with the ports all in a line and sometimes it was a tight squeeze. This one has lots of space around each port.
Color didn't matter to me, but FYI I'd say it's one shade towards cranberry from fire engine red.

Works fine but poor design. . The Belkin F4U006 4 Port Travel USB Hub does work. I used 3 ports for a USB jump drive, media card reader, wireless mouse, and the last port connected my Macbook Pro to an external monitor. All worked properly.
The hub has a few design flaws, however. The cable that plugs into the laptop is at a 90 degree angle from the USB connection, which limits the port I can use to plug it into on my laptop (otherwise the cable blocks my computer's other USB port or the DisplayPort). This then forces the hub to be positioned upside down, showing the product ID number, a screw, Made in China, etc., which is not visually appealing.
In addition to the poor design from the cable angle, the metallic red color pictured was not accurate. It is more of a metallic cranberry color, which makes a difference to me because it doesn't match my metallic red phone. I have professional monitor calibration hardware, so I know my monitor is correctly viewing the photo provided by Amazon.
I still give the product 3 stars because it works, and I will probably use it, but if I had another chance to purchase a product, I would buy the Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407 instead.

Small and well made . This is a good USB hub.
Small enough, no problem with the design.
All the ports work fine.

Awesome Hub and even better price. . Purchased this hub Targus 4-Port Hub - Hub - 4 x Hi-Speed USB - desktop 4PT BASIC HUB Manufacturer Part Number ACH114US from wal-mart for about 12$(cheapest they had out of a whopping 2 to chose from) and was really dissapointed. The cord is short and flat/wide and contorts and twists all the time pulling on the plug and port.
So I ordered this Belkin for 6$ w/free shipping and was very happy when I got it. The cord is long enough and I like the right angle of the plug so it doesn't get pulled up or down on the port. Priced right and works great. Thinking of ordering another for a spare.

Undecided about this item so far . I haven't really used this item since I received it about a month ago. One thing that doesn't make sense is that there is no way to secure the "tail" portion - perhaps a little track on a small portion of the perimeter that the "tail" would snap into could be designed in the future. When I have used it a bit more, I will add to this comment.
Belkin F4U006 USB Hub . Needed more ports on a couple of PC's so got two of
these. Still need to get a couple powered hubs for
the things like portable hard drives, etc. Good price, work OK. Would have been nice to at least had
a power adapter port.

Works like a charm . First it was the best price I could find & I received it 3 days after ordering. I tried it on a Win7 computer with a couple of WD drives connected to it (500 & 320 GB) & had no problem with it-the hub & both drives detected and working in Win 7. Next I connected it to an Argosy HV335T Network Media Player. Then I connected 3 external hard drives, 2 WD's & a Fantom, & the Argosy picked them all up. That's where I'm using it now & I'm very happy with this Belkin hub.
Simple slick and does the job! . My laptop has only 2 ports, yeah, I know, ridiculous. So I needed a USB hub to help me connect my phone, my keyboard & mouse, my headset, and any flash/external drive I need. I just needed 4 ports and I needed to not spend much. This one on sale was pretty tempting. I ordered it, and when it arrived, it looked pretty nice, and it works just great! No cons, except for the cable a "bit" short. Otherwise, it's great! I will probably order another one.
