I purchased this item last October. I have purchased Tripp Lite products before and have been very happy with their quality. This USB hub however is a different story. It worked fine when I initially set it up but then after a month or so our power went out and when it cam back on the hub no longer worked. I opened it up and it was not hard to see why. The soldering joints and workmanship on the board is very poor. Dont waste you time with this product. My hope is that they will improve it in the future. But for now I purchased another hub from a different manufacturer. http://garyadair.com/324542
