Mac Mini USB 2.0 4PT Hub

• 4 Ports - 2 on the front
• Up to 480Mbps of bandwidth
• Backwards compatibility with USB 1.1 (but connection speed will suffer) Cord size is 6 inches
• Can be stacked on top, or under the Mac Mini
• Low-Profile Design

Even though this is marketed for the Mac Mini, it is the exact same footprint as the new Airport Extreme base station. I used this to extend the one USB port on the base station so I could put a printer and an external hard drive on the hub. Got this instead of the USB/Firewire hub that they also sell due to the large number of complaints about there not being enough power available for some devices (this one has a separate power cord). I would highly recommend this to anyone buying a Mini or an Airport Extreme base station.

The Mac mini is a great little computer but is limited to two USB ports. I realized this after consuming one for my keyboard and the other to connect a USB printer and having no place to plug in my iPod Shuffle. I then started surfing for a port expander and was about to order a standard 4 port expansion unit when I spotted this one which was made expressly for the Mac mini and sits directly under the computer itself. It features two ports on the back and two in the front which makes plugging in the iPod a breeze. Be aware that you do need an additional power plug for the unit unless you are using only low power USB devices. The unit was priced pretty closely to a standard 4 port expander and looks really good sitting under the Mac mini. In short, I like it a lot.

The commenter before me that gave this only 2 stars because the cord was too short needs to rethink his post. You can not give things a low star rating because you failed to read the description. Although this hub will technically work with other computers, it was SPECIFICALLY designed for the Mac Mini, to be stacked on top or bottom of it, which is why the cord is so short. Just because you want to use it with a computer for which it was not designed doesn't mean you can give it a bad review, as it does EXACTLY as stated in its described purpose when used with the computer listed in the very name of the product.
