Great Device
This is a great product at a great price. I bought one of these for my laptop to add to the number of USB ports available. I liked it so much, I bought another for my desktop to simply make the ports more accessible. The supplied cord is plenty long to reach the desktop on the floor and then I simply Velcro'ed the Targus to my desk to make plugging and unplugging USB devices much more convenient. The Targus works right out of the box, no install required and it works on every computer I've t...

Great for laptop use, poor for desktop use
First off, note that Amazon has grouped together reviews from a number of different Targus hubs. That's why you see references to USB 1 versus USB 2, some people with 4 ports and some with 8. This review is for the Targus PA050U USB 2.0 High-Speed Hub (4-port).The positive:--It functions. However, almost all USB hubs do that, so that can't really be the basis for a rating.--I do like the glowing blue lights when a device is plugged in and powered. (And it matc...

It works perfectly!
This review is from: Targus 4-Port USB 2.0 Ultra Mini Hub PA055U (Black) (Personal Computers) 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 j...

It's called the Ultra Mini for a reason!
This review pertains specifically to the Targus PAUH217U 4 Port Ultra Mini USB 2.0 Hub.The cord is about 2.5 feet long - long enough to reach from my pc, which sits on the ground, to the top of the desk. It has a cable which is split into two USB plugs - one just to transmit data, the second to power the unit. The second plug does not need to be used unless you plan on using some heavy-duty hardware, and if so what are you buying a hub called the ultra mini for anyways? If you insist...

Great, compact usb hub for mobile or desktop users!
This is an excellent usb hub for the price. Very compact and very light. It doesn't take up too much space at all. Also, it's powered thru USB so you do not need to deal with an AC adaptor. 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 ...

Unlike other USB Hubs
This is very well designed. It give you 4 USB Port but two on opposite sides. This is very clever becase you have plug in devices from both sides. You webcam or cell on your left and your mouse and number pad on your right. The cord that plug in from the Hub to the Computer is very sterdy yet flexible so you can not only adjust the Hub in all kind of angles, it would stay at that angle and not twist all around you wires. It also works great if you jsut want to charge you USB devices on the go. I...

Great hub - just a few minor issues.
PROSSmallCuteSelf-powered - comes with a power adaptor. I have 6 devices hooked up to it, including 2 USB Hard Drives, and it works fine without the adapter - a big plus for me. Most hubs would not work with this setup.USB 2.0 & 1.1 - 6 devices hooked up, 3 low speed and 3 high speed, all work very well.Runs cool.CONSNot sure why, but they put the 7 ports on one side of the hub and power/uplink ports on the other. This is dumb. If yo...

Does exactly what it is supposed to, at a good price
I 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 U...

Small and convenient
The 4 Port Slim USB 2.0 Hub is a very compact and portable USB 2 hub. I was able to easily plug in the device and attach my printer, headset, and mouse, which all worked fine without using the AC adaptor. The design works nicely, with 2 ports on either side which makes plugging everything in easier. Matching these characteristics to an affordable price, I am very satisfied with this product.

Fell apart after 5 months
I bought this in late January of this year and it fell apart last night. I plugged it in the day after I got it and I have not moved it until I went to dust (yes, I only dust 2 or 3 times a year) and the USB connection just fell out. I will be contacting the company.
