The implication with a powered 7-port hub is that you can connect 7 external devices and get them to perform. NOT! With a printer (powered) and scanner attached, all is well. The device will recognize but not operate and external Western Digital or Maxtor hard drive without freezing the computer. Add a receiver for a Microsoft Wireless Desktop and nothing works. Typing is impossible because keys repeat, skip and do what they please. Mouse control: non-existent.

Repeated calls to device manufacturers result in "We don't guarantee our peripherals thru hubs." Hub manufacturers (Dlink, Belkin,Staples) explain that hubs must be plugged directly into a wall outlet or other excuses, etc. Remember all this stuff is supposed to be plug-and-play.

With laptops getting smaller and being equipped with fewer USB ports, there's an opportunity for a hub that actually works.

Comments about Staples 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub:

There is nothing wrong with the performance of this product, but there are too many cords. From the packaging you really can't tell what you're getting until you've spent [$] and opened it. You have to plug the thing into the computer and then a separate cord runs to the power source. Too much. I wouldn't buy this one. Targus makes one that simply plugs into the USB port you have. I'd go with that one.

Comments about Staples 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub:

This thing is just okay. It has plenty of ports on it, which is handy. I use a MacBook Pro, which only has two ports on it, so it is nice to have one hub for printer, scanner, sticks, etc. I especially like the ports up top. It isn't the speediest thing in the world, and my iPod Touch doesn't sync properly when I plug into it. Finally, it emits an annoying whine from time to time, especially at start-up. I've yet to figure out why.
