Plugable USB 2.0 10 Port Hub (with Power Adapter)

As a computer engineer with many, many USB peripherals I could not be happier with this hub. This hub provides very easy access to 10 ports that can sit right there on your desk- no more getting up and searching for a free rear port (if your front ports are already full of course). It works very well without the power supply when devices connected to it are self powered (printers, external HDDs, etc), but don't expect to be able to run all of your USB powered devices (iPods for example) from this hub without it being plugged in to its own outlet. The glowing blue light on top is a very nice aesthetic which also illuminates the inside of the ports (except the two pivoting ports) providing for easy visibility in the dark. I highly recommend this hub.

As a network administrator for eleven years, I have seldom found a product that worked instantly as advertised. I'll grant you that a USB hub isn't the most complex device, but it was a pleasure to plug this in and have it work. I connected it to a Dell server that only had 3 USB ports. It's a well made product that looks and works well. The swivel ports at the top are an excellent design feature. And the price makes this a bargain.
