Perhaps I got a bad one...
...as every other review glows positively about this, but I've experienced 'iffy' ports(live at one moment, dead other times, replugging the cord sometimes helps, other times not), and sub-USB 1.0 transfer speeds with this hub. I've tried different cables and the fault seems to lie with the hub itself.
Pity, because on the plus side, it IS a nice sturdy metal package that seems well built.
======================
Update:
Amazon did a no-hassle replacement on the hub.
Four months later, no repeat problems.
Guess I did indeed get a bad one.
Too bad Amazon doesn't allow rating edits, I'd bump it up to a five.
