Small Portable Desktop Computer

I have 12 portable hard drives. No desktop that I have owned or seen has enoughUSB inputs to handle 12 portable hard drives plus the USB ports that are required for the keyboard, mouse and printer. This hub is the solution to the problem. I really like that there is an on-off switch for each station. When I am about to boot up my desktop computer I turn off all the ports that I will not be using for the session. This prevents accidentally disconnecting a hard drive while the computer is on which can corrupt data in the drive. This hub has a power supply that is very substantial. I really don't know what its function is but I guess its necessary to have enough gain from the hard drive. The only downside of having 10 hard drives hooked up to this hub is where to find the space to store the hard drives. Also many of the hard drives I have come with a cable that is only 12 inches long and that limits where you can place the drive. I intend to purchase some that are 24 inches or more to replace those cables.

Best desktop computer I had yet

Excellent compact desktop computer.

I use this to back up my home Desktop 1TB main hard drive. It is small and super portable. In fact it is smaller than the 120 GB portable USB hard drive that I am replacing it with.

If you are using a MacBook as your desktop computer this is the ideal way to put it in your workspace It has a small foot print and actually helps your MacBook stay cool plus all the connectors are easily accessible. When you are ready to hit the road with your computer it makes the transition simple and easy. I tried another popular brand of desktop stand and had connection problems and it was just plain difficult to put the computer in and take it out. Not so with the Rain Design mTower Vertical Laptop Stand. It is a beautiful, elegant and smart design that really looks good on your desk and matches the aesthetic of the MacBook, turning the computer into a functional work of art.

I purchased this to hold a small form factor desktop computer. It is sturdy and is a very good value. The only suggestion I have for the manufacturer is to adjust the packaging material to something more environmentally friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a small personal computer to keep in my home office to handle my everyday computer needs such as online searches, finances and documentation. I was really surprised how small the desktop really was. It doesn't take up much room and there's enough device ports for anything I want to connect to. In the few weeks I have used it, I haven't experiences any lagging or slowness to any of my work. I feel like I have enough storage for the documents I need to keep. My son plans to use this for his school work this upcoming school year. While he's not in college yet, I could see something like this being perfect for a dorm room as it doesn't take up much space. I have my monitor sitting on top of it and it's basically the same size as the monitor base. It does come with a thin keyboard and mouse. Both are wired so I will most likely upgrade those to wireless devices. They work fine and seem adequate for everyday use. I just prefer less wires. I'm really happy with this desktop and can see myself and my family using it for the next few years. I'd recommend this desktop to anyone looking for a desktop computer.

Portable and easy to use away from a computer.

It has all the things I like on a desktop. Enjoy the speed. To sum it up. I like the computer.

Added storage drive to my desktop computer.
