It is not large, it is not expensive and it is not useful for taking pictures. But, the D-Link 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub can be a valuable piece of a photo-processing system.
I place my laptop on my office desk and plug the D-Link 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub into a USB port. Immediately, I have an optical mouse, a printer, a scanner and several external hard drives available to me. The D-Link 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub works great - and moves data fast. The same functionality is available to desktop users as well.
