I have that one and the 2 port version. Both have worked without any issues on my RPi and the Win box. A case would be nice though.

I bought this one from Digikey /-/ http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/USB-COM232-PLUS4/768-1034-ND/213929 6 - IIRC, acting on the advice of Jason KG4WSV. It plugs into the Pi (directly; powered hub not needed), and other Linux computers, and works OOTB, first time, every time to provide /dev/ttyUSB0 through /dev/ttyUSB3. I use mine to drive three TNC2 compatible TNC's for an APRS gateway.
