This device is listed as a USB 2.0 hub. Although it is possible to plug USB 2.0 devices into it, it is limited to USB 1.1 speeds (about 40 times slower). If your computer supports USB 2.0 (most made within the last 4 yrs. do), you don't want to choose this hub. It's top speed is 12Mbits/sec, whereas USB 2.0 can go 480 Mbits/sec. I have this hub and it's great for my 2001 system running Windows ME, but I wouldn't think of putting it on a modern computer. It is obsolete
