I love this product!
I read the reviews of all the hubs and was confused about what would work and what wouldn't and "powered" vrs "un-powered"...
So I decided to buy a cheap, un-powered hub and see if it worked and go from there.
It works perfectly!
I have a 2-yr old PC running Windows 98 second edition.
I only have two USB ports and was ready to buy a new PC just to get more ports since every peripheral nowadays uses USB.
A friend told me about USB hubs--essentially an extension cord for your USB ports.
I plugged-in the Targus (the blue lights are cool), and plugged into the Targus the following--internet cable modem, scanner, DVD burner, and MP3 player. I rebooted (probably not necessary, but it never hurts), and everything is totally cool.
Now, I'll get another year out of this PC before I upgrade and I WILL keep the Targus hub--it saved Christmas!

This is a great product at a great price. I bought one of these for my laptop to add to the number of USB ports available. I liked it so much, I bought another for my desktop to simply make the ports more accessible. The supplied cord is plenty long to reach the desktop on the floor and then I simply Velcro'ed the Targus to my desk to make plugging and unplugging USB devices much more convenient. The Targus works right out of the box, no install required and it works on every computer I've tried -- no problems. I must confess, the blue LED's look pretty cool too!
 Not USB 2.0 December 29, 2004

The "See more technical details" link indicates
Standards: USB (1.1, 2.0)
However, the hub is USB 1.1, not 2.0. The cable, size, and function are nice, but the description should be clear that transfers will not be at USB 2.0 speeds. An e-mail response from Targus after receiving the product included:
The Targus Ultra Mini 4-Port USB Hub Model # PA055U
is a USB 1.1 hub. It does not support USB 2.0.
At this point in time, a USB 2.0 alternative was what I was looking for, and what I would recommend.

This hub seems to work fine, but it is not a high-speed USB 2.0 hub, despite the on-line technical specifications. (The packaging doesn't say anything about USB 2.0 either.)
Great, compact usb hub for mobile or desktop users! September 13, 2002

This is an excellent usb hub for the price. Very compact and very light. It doesn't take up too much space at all. Also, it's powered thru USB so you do not need to deal with an AC adaptor. I have a couple of USB devices that are powered through the USB port as well and my concern was whether they would still be active through this hub. I plugged both into the hub and both were powered up!! And the 4 ports light up with a nice blue led color that's looks really cool!! Targus should show this in their ads/marketing material because it definitely makes the hub look much cooler! This is a great bargain and perfect for people that need a simple & compact USB hub for all their gadgets. Definitely recommended!!
