This does what it's suppose to do. It would be a better product if they offered it with a USB header for the motherboard rather than a cable coming out the back of the computer and taking up a USB port in the back. Also, they should include an adapter for use in a 5 1/4" bay.

I think the unit was defective but it wasn't worth my time to send it back. Very cheaply made. I would not recommend this to anyone. I'd drop my review to 1 star if possible.

If your desk is as crowded as mine, and the back of your computer as inaccessible, this is for you. This nifty little four-port hub drops into any unused 3.5 inch floppy drive bay on the front of your system and, viola, USB 2.0 available just for the plugging. As an added convenience, an LED glows green when connection is established. Four stars rather than two because it must connect through the computer enclosure and out again to one of the USB ports on the back of your machine, effectively robbing you of one of those. I would have given it five stars if it had had a motherboard connector. By the way, when they are talking high speed, they aren't kidding; the hub supports the fastest version of USB available.
