 Exactly what I needed October 16, 2007

I got sick of having to pull USB cables out of my computer everytime I needed to free up a plug for my printer, and I realized that this is exactly what I needed. So far I am loving this thing. It has freed up alot of clutter on my desk and you can't put a price on the time it has saved me from never having to unplug USB cables again. Also, it will power up any devices you have that are powered through USB such as a rechargable mouse. This is important as some USB hubs don't have this feature. The blue lights on it are also cool. It even has a plug for an AC adaptor, in case you need to plug devices into it without it being plugged into a computer.

There's nothing too fancy about this little hub but it does the job. I thought the blue lights would be exciting but they turned out to be the most annoying feature since I can't get three of them to stop blinking when a device is attached. The manual is sparce and doesn't mention why this happens nor can I find any info on the Targus website, either. It has a flat side which makes it easy to mount under my work desk and keep clutter down a little. There are better choices out there but I made mine and I'll keep it for a while.
works great! June 26, 2007

This is a very compact, well-built USB hub which worked right out of the box with both Windows XP and 2000.
It was purchased for 1) it's price and 2) it's size. The hub is well-worth the money and more of these hubs are in order for the other computers around the house. Of course, the small size means that it is easily dragged around by the movement of any cord attached to it. Some Velcro or double-stick tape might be useful to hold the hub in place.
One possible disadvantage to this hub is that there is no option to plug in an external power supply. This limits the total amount of power that can be used by the devices plugged into the hub. To help with this, the hub comes with a Y cable and can be plugged into two ports on the computer. On the "computer-side" of the cable, the black connector provides both power and data to the hub. Optionally, you can plug in the red connector to provide additional power to the hub.
 Perfect for almost anything March 13, 2007
This thing works really well- however, you have to plug in two USB plugs (they do come with it) if you plan on charging an iPod on it. Otherwise the iPod looses battery faster than it can charge it.
