Hawking Technologies (UH104) HUB 4-PORT USB TYPE A MINI
This review is from : Hawking Technology UH104 4-Port USB Hub
Simple and effective . This hub is simple and effective. It splits 1 usb 1.1 port into 4 usb 1.1 ports (beware, the 12 Mbps usb speed is *shared* between all the devices connected to the usb port, you don't get 4 12 mbps ports, this is by design)I recommend getting usb 2.0 instead of 1.1, but if you don't need usb 2.0, this hub is enough.

Hawking Technology UH104 4-Port USB Hub Reviews
Good Deal . [$$] gets you a long way when buying this hub. You just plug it in and use it, its very easy. Also, I was worried that when switching the position of my existing USB connections I would have to reinstall the drivers for them, however the computer, thanks to the hub recognised the changes by itself. I reccoomend it.

Hawking Technology UH104 4-Port USB Hub Opinions
Very useful/convenient . My office machine is 2 years old, with USB ports in the back - rather inconvenient to plug in my USB Zip drive or a digital camera (old 1.3 MP!) This worked out very well for me, I fixed it to the CPU tower using a piece of velcro. The discounted price made it a real steal.

Great Price But Not As Useful As Should Be . I bought this so that I could attach several USB devices without fishing around in back of my PC or laptop. I does do what is says in that it provides four USB ports as if they were a part of your computer and it is easy to use. Unfortunately the design has the ports a little too crowded together.My problem comes in that one of my devices is a thumb drive. When I plug it in, it partially block the three other ports. To avoid that, I have to put an extension on the drive thus making for a lot of extra cable lying around.If you already have extension cables, you should not run into overcrowding. If you don't, you might want to buy a slightly more expensive port hub for the same price (this hub price plus extension cable price).
This one did the job. . This 4 port mini-hub does exactly what it says it will do. My computer came equipped with only 2 usb ports and as I have five items that require usb connection I was constantly switching back and forth. I had tried another brand (Belkin) that simply did not work for my purposes. Now with the Hawking mini-hub, I have my printer, mouse, and pedesign (embroidery) plugged into it and all work great. Another plus is the price that I paid was very reasonable....less than half what I paid for the Belkin that would not work for me. I would recommend this hub to anyone with requirements similar to mine.
Cons Review
Does Not Work with Flash Drive . Take this note of caution: This works fine for items that have to "Power up" for instance an external DVD drive or the connection to my PSP. But it doesn't work when I plug in my flash drive. (The Flash drive works fine when I plug it in directly to the USB port on the computer, BTW.) Unfortunately using this device, I have to reboot my computer each time when I plug it in so it can "see" the drive. Once it's unplugged, the drive goes away and when you plug the drive back in, it won't come back up until the computer is rebooted again.
Yes, I can move other items around to free up a spare USB plug in the back. The problem is this is just the sort of item I bought the hub for--so I wouldn't have to wrestle the computer everytime I wanted to plug it in! I'm not sure if getting a "powered" hub would work better or not.
