Fry's IOGEAR 4-port USB Hub FAR

[nautiazn85]

Fry's Manhattan Store (and I'm sure others) has the IOGEAR USB minihub for $9 - $9 rebate = $0 + tax.

If your local store "hasn't received the rebate forms" (supposedly mine didn't receive them yet), you can either b*tch at the manager like I did and get credit back, or send in the request using rebateshq.com.

I got one of these a few months ago. It works well and it is very small. Plus it has a connector for an external 5v power supply so it can act as a powered hub, too.

yeah, I don't know if I ever got the rebate, but it IS really cool looking, if only the cable can retract and was longer. It can power my Memorex scanner, so that's cool.

No Fry around here.

thanks for the deal. i was just about to get one.

um, when u got credit back... does that mean u got it for free?

also, this usb minihub is only usb1.1 and doesnt come w/ a power adapter, so if you have power hungry usb devices, this won't work w/o the power adapter.

far not bad and its pretty decently put together, unlike total no name brands. i didn't even notice the 5v plug till you mentioned it lol good to have.

Does it come with the powered plug, or is that just an add on option?

I think I might go and check this one out this evening.

Is this Manhattan or Manhattan Beach (in S. Ca)?

Ok, picked it up. Seems to be a decent unit. It is EXTREMELY small and lightweight, which is a necessity because the cord is so small that I am forced to leave it hanging from the usb port on the back of my case (the cord is less than an inch long). Because it is so lightweight, this is a good deal. If it was any heavier, it would be ice cold .

There does seem to be a port for a power adapter, but I don't really see the use in my setup. Also, I don't know where I would pick up this power adpater from. Plus, this HUB if free (AR) and I'd like to keep it that way!

If I have any problems with it, I'll be sure to post.
