I bought this hub to use on the go with my business laptop. With only two USB ports and up to five devices, I was looking for a reliable way to connect. Also, I was hoping that with a USB-powered smartphone, I could charge my phone without taking out my laptop. This device does not support any of these scenarios.1. The device will not turn on if it is not plugged into a power outlet and USB port on a laptop.2. I have connected a USB hard drive. As soon as I accessed the directory, the hub failed due to overvoltage. I connected my smartphone. The laptop couldn't recognize the device, but at least I was able to charge it.4. Tried to connect a couple of flash drives. They worked, but the connectors were so close together that I couldn't use all ports. I threw that device away and bought a Cables To Go 29563 7-Port USB 2.0 Aluminum Hub. It worked like a champ and supports all the scenarios I described above.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Sad hardware
