Lasted maybe one year

I'm on Amazon tonight looking for a new hub since this one has given up the ghost. Other than the heat it produced itself, the hub faced no stresses from travel or frequent use--it just sat on my desk.It lasted maybe 15 months or so....

Shoddy workmanship + bad design = failing item

Like the other reviewers have mentioned, this hub has the following problems:1.It gets hot.Not hot enough to burn your fingers, but still hot.2.It has a very short cord.The hub ends up being upside down when attached to my laptop (vertical usb slot), and there is a lot of stress on the cable.3.It starts to fail after a while.I used mine for about 6 months, and then it started to flake out.Today it actually died, so I unscrewed it and cracked it open.The wire connecting the usb cable to the circuit...

This is unfortunate as Iogear usually make pretty decent products....

Hubbed Down

There are times where a add-on device works well with a computer, and there are those items that think they can work well, but ruin your computer, or your other items for it. This USB 2.0 hub from Iogear is not one of those. This device doesn't work very well on all devices that are USB 2.0 compliant. It didn't work on my MP3 player, my cable and broadband service, and especially didn't work on my printer, and that was damaged. If you are going to use a USB 2.0 hub, make sure it is 100% reliable...

Can corrupt data

I would recommend against buying this device.Just got mine in the mail today, plugged my keyboard in through it, and found the keyboard unusable due to garbage data getting output to the terminal.Had a similar experience when running my mouse through it (random movement, click detection, etc)....
