My new Dell only came with 4 USB slots- two of which are taken up with the keyboard and mouse, so I needed something to plug in the printer, external drive,etc. The product is not independently powered but is able to run my webcam without any problems. Other devises plugged into are my printer and external drive. No problems so far. Also cable is sufficient length and the sucker on top means the device stays in place. Excellent value for money.
Bought this as I only have 3 USBs on my iMac. I like the sucker as it sticks on the side of the computer so can hardly see it. Had no problems so far syncing and charging iPhone, connecting DSLR, connecting flash drives which is what I got it for. For a fiver no complaints. There is no power supply option so don't get it if your devices will need more power. Also the USB cord is integrated into the hub, it is plenty long enough but if you had an unusual set up with it a long way from the computer you can't plug your own cord in.
Not till after I'd bought this did I find in the booklet that it might not be able to supply enough power to everything plugged into it. I can plug my printer and cordless mouse/keyboard into it, no problems, but I can't plug an external hard drive into it. It just can't supply enough power to the HD even when the HD is the only thing plugged in. Apart from this, it's a nice little device, good-looking, and has a sucker underneath to stop it moving around on the desk.
