 IOGEAR USB Hub and Card Reader (GUH284R) July 29, 2008
Excellent Product. Very Fast Delivery and the Price Was Nice! Easy Setup and it has connected five (5) of my peripherals. I am using it with a Compaq EVO N610C port replicator. The Card Reader works very well too.
 Bet with your own luck! July 25, 2008
My two PC and one laptop all have trouble from time to time when trying to use this IOGEAR USB hub. For example, (1) if the hub is plugged in before booting up, it will take a much long time for the PC to show the Windows welcome screen; (2) the PC will hanged during the shut down step if the HUB still connected; (3) The PC can't recognize all ports on the hub from time to time; (4) some time keep asking me to format a CF card which has data inside.
I had few IOGEAR products at home and they are not performing very well, guess I won't buy from this brand any more.
Great Hub March 28, 2008
easy to connect. Worked instantly on connection. Would like it to have a light to show that it is getting power and connected. Lights when memory cards are inserted. Love it! Would buy it again!
Convenient, but can't power/charge some devices March 19, 2008
I purchased this hub for the convenience of having a card reader and usb hub, all in one. It works fine as a card reader using Mac OSX. Cards show up on the desktop and transfer speeds are acceptable. I use an external bus-powered hard drive (2.5" 5400rpm), and it will not spin up if connected to this hub, even though the hub does have its own power supply. I've also had no luck charging my Garmin Forerunner 205 GPS watch. If these things are essential to you then I'd recommend trying another approach. If you're content using thumb drives, media cards, and devices that don't need to be bus-powered, this seems like a nice solid device.
 Not ready for Vista February 7, 2008

Despite claims on the iogear site to support Vista, this hub and card reader periodically stopped working -- the card reader especially usually required a restart after every use. Repeated e-mails to support have gone unanswered.
