The CyberPower High-Speed 7-Port USB Hub is a good hub. I would say that this is a good hub for connecting such devices as external hard drives, cd/dvd drives, flash drives, and hard drives to your computer. The hub is great for theses kind of devices. If you are connecting a smart phone or a tablet of some kind be aware that you will able to sync the device but not charge it. I found out while I could sync my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2, these devices would not charge while attached to the hub. Also I would say be aware that the lights on the hub do through out light at night. I don't mind this as it acts as a mini night light for me. I know some people may not like this but for me it does not bother me.  I would say for the price, this is a great deal.
