This hub is particularly compact and finds its place without problems on the desktop. The building is neat and touch quality. Discreet green LED indicates the hub is powered. The USB cable is short (12 cm), if you plan to use it on a desktop PC, as is my case, it will provide a USB extension cable for which there is plenty of choice on Amazon. I connected my printer, USB drive, memory card reader, external disk: everything runs smoothly. The particularly low price is another reason not to hesitate to buy it!
