Customer Reviews

Excellent Port Replicator
This is so convenient! I love this Targus port replicator!

The problem with other multiports with the usb connectors embedded in a little box is precisely that: THE BOX IS TOO LITTLE. So when you connect the first adminicle it works great, but as soon as you will try to connect a second adminicle you realize there's NO SPACE for other connectors!!! Grrr!!!

With this Tragus Port replicator you don't have such problem because you bend each cable at your convenience so what you get is a wide space enough to connect whatever you want! This thing is THE BEST device of its kind I've found to enjoy the 4 full usability Usb ports (one of them dual for Mini Usb's, smart and great option!).

It looks very well constructed, I'm sure it will last a long time.

Finally, about the device recognition, I tested it on XP (SP II & III) and Vista Home Premium 64bit and it was recognized faster than a blink of an eye.

Highly Recommended!!! A+++

Excellent USB hub
This Product was definitely worth the money. I've been looking for a hub for awhile and saw a lot of other ones with a higher price as well as with a lot of small problems here and there. This hub is small and compact, while flexible and easy to store and use. The micro usb allows me to connect my WD passport without the need for its own cable and charges my bluetooth earpiece when its needed. The fact taht it has different cable wires gives it the flexibility so you dont have to worry if one of the items your connecting is big. The flip up 4th hub works perfectly too and gives a 4th port without any extra space being wasted. Its perfect for a pen drive or something of similar size to be connected.

Great unpowered "squid" hub.
If you haven't seen a Power Squid, it's a hydra-like, multi-headed surge suppressor. This is pretty much the same thing for USB. Assuming you attach low-power devices (mice, keyboards, printers and flash drives are all fine, but hard drives, DVD burners, and USB-powered speakers are not) it will drive all four ports without a problem.

Also, one of the four ports is really a mini-USB plug, with an extra conversion on it. This is actually really nice, I used the little adapter to turn my flash card reader's mini-USB cable into a three foot extension cable -- it comes off with only a little bit of prying. Then I plugged the flash card reader into the hub's mini-USB and gained three ports in the process. Being an "inline" style, there's no worry about where to put it. It just blends in with the cabling that would be there anyhow, and can be tossed into all but the tightest laptop bags.

The only gripe is that there is no way to make it a powered hub -- there is no power jack anywhere. Even if they didn't want to include an adapter for cost reasons, it would be nice if I could choose to buy one.
