Perfect size, but not without limitations
This little 4 port USB hub is awesome. For it’s size, it actually accomidates nearly any USB plug or device quite nicely (though there is the rare occasion where a device is simply too big to fit next to another plug or device on the same side of the hub). However, I have had several problems with the hub due to power limitations. The hub comes with a Y-style USB cable with two standard USB male connectors; one is the main/data plug (black plug) while the other is the additional power plug (red plug) for when devices draw more power than the hub can supply. In every case I’ve tried, the red plug has been of no use. I have two external hard drives that refuse to work at all and a portable scanner that delivers poor scans when plugged into it. This is when no other devices are plugged into the hub and the red plug is in use. Everything else works great, and even though I only give it 3 stars (for its limited utility) overall I really love it and recommend it to anyone who needs more USB ports on-the-go.
Update (2/6/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Pefect for a Traveller
Recently I have purchased this USB hub from Amazon.com. When I have looked at product image on Amazon.com, I thought it is a bulky one but I don’t have any other option except to rely on the product name which says “Super Mini”. After I have recieved the shipment, I am astonished to see this piece of equipment. It so small infact its perfectly “Super Mini”. This is a perfect gadget for a traveller with notebook having less number of USB ports. By the Way, one more additional feature is that it can handle high power USB devices like Digital Cameras etc, without having to power them seperately.

Failed after just one week of use - worked well, otherwise
As she worked, I was very pleased. It really requires two slots for the use of powered USB components, such as an iPod fan, visual or multi-card reader. Very compact design and works seamlessly with Mac OS or XP Pro. Unfortunately, it has after only one week. The failure was possible to transfer data into context. The connected devices are powered, but they could not communicate with my laptop. Reboot did not solve the problem. When I plugged the USB devices directly, they worked fine. It looks like the chip data transmission has failed or the connection for data failed. Either way, failure is after only one week of use is not good.
