Customer Reviews:

Displeased with Item [Posted on 2008-02-05]
I am the new owner of a aluratek 4 port hub. Sad to say that when I plug it into my computer while plugged into external power it shorts my usb connector and shuts down any of my 3 pc's. I suspect it is just a defective unit. I'm not going to worry about sending back, just get another one down the road. Also the cord on this thing is so short it's useless. I am very displeased with this device. I will add that it does run my portable hard drive and charge my phone at the same time w/ no external power source.

Returned for exchange [Posted on 2008-02-22]
I had to return the item because it stopped working a few days after I received it.
Hopefully they will give me another one.

periodically disconnects and reconnects [Posted on 2008-08-11]
At first when I got this USB hub, it seemed to work fine. But after a while, I noticed once in a while it would disconnect and reconnect all of the attached peripherals. This is not that bad for mice and keyboards, but is catastrophic for external hard drives, which is what I was using it for. Maybe it's just that I got a defective unit, but I would not buy this one again.

Works, but has some issues... [Posted on 2008-09-15]
The first problem with this device is the cable is about 2 inches long. I started using this device and I rarely turn off my PC so I figured everything was working fine...that was until I rebooted my PC (Intel D865PERL motherboard, Corsair RAM) and it froze up after displaying the type of RAM I have. It was about a month since I rebooted last and started using the Aluratek hub so it took me a while to figure out it was the USB hub. Soon as I unplugged it my PC booted right up and I was able to plug in the hub again after I was booted up. I'd give it 4 stars if it wasn't for the cable length, no extension cable being included, and the lock up problem on reboot.
