Pros: Easy to install
Works as promised
Small, uses little space
Cons: Minimal instructions.
Customer service number not included., but Aten Technologies has a Web site.
The Bottom Line: If all you need is extra USB ports with a minimum of hassle, this is one to consider. Works on Windows and Mac. Not sure about Linux.

| mrdata2's Full Review: Aten USB Hub (UH-9124Z) Networking Hub |
I really didn’t want to learn that much about USB technology except to increase the number of available USB ports I could use. I only had 2 USB ports and needed more. The more I read about the gillzion USB Port Hubs on the market, the more confused I was about which USB Port Hub to get.
Finally, I saw the Aten 4-Port USB Hub (at Amazon.com) and it had high review ratings and comments about how easy it was to install and use. Based on that (plus the price was within my budget), I purchased the Aten 4-Port USB Hub.
Thankfully, the reviews were correct. All I had to do was turn off my PC, plug the Aten USB Port Hub into one of my USB ports, and turn on my PC again. It worked like a charm. This Hub runs on a standard Microsoft Windows driver to operate (I have Windows 98 Second Edition). I then tested it by plugging in a digital photography media card reader (the Delkin eFilm 6 in 1 Card Reader) and it worked perfectly.
The Aten 4-Port USB Hub is great (I bought the Model UH-9124Z). It has an amber power light and a green light for each of its 4 ports to indicate they are operating correctly. The Hub can be self-powered (meaning it can run without the auxiliary power supply), or you can use the power supply that comes with the hub. Some devices you attach will not need the power supply and some will. For me, I didn't want to learn the difference. it was just as easy to connect the power supply and forget it.
I highly recommend this USB Port Hub to expand the number of USB ports on your computer. It is small (less than 4" x 2"), and comes with everything you need to use it., right out of the box.
I've had mine for a couple of months now and it is still working perfectly. If you need extra USB ports, this is a good one to consider.
