The HooToo HT-UH010 7-Port Hub struck me right in the face, because he has a very slim design. This "bar" you get more in your pocket or backpack, this is not always so easy in others.
For air travel, the place is always very limited, therefore it is very important to take small or lightweight devices.
My requirements and wishes were that I different USB stick, if necessary, can use an external hard drive and even 1-2 for charging smartphones simultaneously.
The 7-Port Hub comes in a sturdy, thicker cardboard packaging. The front of the hub is provided with a protective foil and individually wrapped in foil all cables. All cables make a good impression and have a corresponding cross section. The dimensions are 16.6 x 12.8 x 6 cm.
How well this worked hub, it worked with the simultaneous charging of data and charging of smartphone?
The connection of the cable to the hub / notebook / PC is self-explanatory, an additional outlet for the 220V connection is still needed.
The link to my test notebook was built very quickly and I was able to use the USB ports directly for the first two USB sticks. The included driver CD was not needed, at both test notebooks (Win7) were the required standard driver found and installed directly. Here was right because the connection and I was able to access it. Data transfer and backup of well 2x 4 GB were performed quickly and without errors. In addition, then an external hard drive was infected, which occupied two USB ports. Again, this was quickly recognized and I had no problems with the data access.
During the trial period the two were Aufladeports (the bottom) of smartphones and also of the more memory-guzzling Ipad Mini gestetet. Everything worked perfectly and the charging function was given within the normal time. Therefore, one can very well, next to the work on the PC / notebook, the external hard drive and USB is connected, also recharge even current device.
Please note there are:
The charging ports do not support the data transfer and USB 3.0 ports do not support charging.
Priced is this 7-port hub at Amazon right now at just under 47, reduced from nearly 70, which would have been too high. But for no 50 to get a USB hub, which leaves no wish unfulfilled, because:
- The workmanship is very good
- Enough power is available through the external 220V connection
- Can easily load current 2 devices simultaneously
- You can connect via the seven data ports as many devices
My Conclusion:
A great and effective 7 Port Hub with data and - Charge function. Through the external power connector enough power is available to 7 + 2 USB ports to operate. The function and effectiveness was given from the beginning, an installation on two notebooks (Win7) without external drivers was possible. Here you can not go wrong, the Hub works and very sensible quality costs money, so go the almost 47 fine for me. The reasons described above, I can forgive 5 of 5 stars.
