Ambidextrous rating: 3
That item works on an older computer.
My newer computer won't recognize it.
Since I bought two, I would say the success rate is 50%.

Great little hub rating: 5
I really like this little hug. It doesn't cost too much and I love that there are ports that stand up so I can put my USB sticks in them. Works well.

Belkin Hi-Speed USB Hub, FSU237-APL-S rating: 5
I really like the way this hub combines functionality and convenience. The easy accessibility of two high speed ports to plug in cameras or external drives is a real plus.

failed after 2 years rating: 2
Nice design and it worked well for 2 years, then failed. Not what I would expect for a belkin product. Shopping for another maker next time.

Does not handle unpowered devices like iPods. rating: 2
Overall does what a hub should do. Works 100% with powered devices like printers and scanners. But it doesn't like iPods: the connection will be lost (not a good idea to disconnect an iPod without "ejecting" it), or no connection will be made at all, or the port on the computer where the hub is connected will lock up.
Also, the build quality is poor. The silver finish is uneven, even worn off (out of the box) in a few spots. And the clear cover over the LED indicators is falling off.
Perhaps Belkin's new "Plus" hubs are better, but I'm not willing to find out.
