Why should I NOT buy this 7-port USB hub?

[DaviDC.]

I've had that same hub for a couple of years & haven't had a single problem with it.
It's mounted on the wall, out of the way & does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Cool, thanks. I will stick with the D-Link 7-port. It costs more but it works for powering devices.

I would have skipped ONLY because I know it comes from meritline. Anything there on sale is of the LOWEST possible quality - absolute crap.

Belkin makes some good quality hubs...

Though you can find them for less elsewhere.

I have several of these Belkins:

I think I paid $20-30 for them, not eh $50 MSRP.

I like that you can stack two of them and have 4 upward-oriented ports.
