  After doing some research online to find a 7-port USB Hub, I discovered the APC 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub on this seller’s page. It is an outstanding product and the price made it more attractive, so I bought two of them. They were shipped quickly and I am very happy to have them. I’d highly recommend this seller.

  I have had the equipment for about a month. It arrived on time. It was easy to hook up.
  
  I have used it several times charging ipod, downloading pictures, etc. Have not connected several devices at one time yet.
  
  I works very well for me.

  The hub works well overall.

  The stand is very light and flimsy so any cable pressure will drag
  
  the unit around or topple it. My stand in particular was not level
  
  so I had to bend it a little to prevent it from wobbling.

  An external 2.5″ portable drive seems to work fine when plugged into
  
  the hub.

  However, even though it is a “powered” hub it does not provide enough
  
  power to charge an iPad (to be fair a lot of PC laptops don’t either).
  
  An iPhone was also a bit fiddly as far as getting recognized by iTunes
  
  and getting charged – likely because there is borderline enough power
  
  for it.

  Expect to have to charge iPads with a recent Mac’s built-in USB port
  
  or external power supply, and iPhones with a Mac/PC’s built-in USB
  
  port or external power supply.

  The main reasons to get this hub over others (powered or unpowered) are
  
  the good number of ports (7), the fact that it does seem to power external
  
  laptop drives well, and the hopefully better quality and longevity over
  
  other brands (I’ve read some scary reviews about other powered hubs frying
  
  devices that were plugged into them).

  I had qualms about getting this device, shifting choices between brands that were more recognized and costs more. Practicality won out, and I decided to get this product. I have had this USB hub since mid-July and it’s still working so far.

  I have a lot of devices around my laptop and my laptop only has 2 hubs (it sucks, I know), so I really needed a USB hub to accomodate my keyboard, wireless mouse, my pen tablet, and other stuff that I plug in once in a while. I had a Targus travelling hub, but it wasn’t self-powered, so external drives still need to actually be plugged directly to my laptop. It has a long power cord, but a shorter USB cord (I estimate around 3-4 ft), so if you want to place your hub on the floor this is not the best choice for you. I keep the hub right beside my laptop, since I want easy access when I plug in/out stuff.

  I am satisfied with the product. It feels kind of flimsy, so heavy cables can drag this thing around if you’re not careful. Of course I don’t yank it around a lot – it sits nicely on my tiny workspace with its stand, not taking too much space, and the lights aren’t too bright, which I know would bother some people. Only thing I wish is that the hub could lie sideways instead of just vertical, just so users have flexibility on how to arrange the hub in their workspace. The stand it comes with can only be used vertically, but it’s removable.
