Excellent ... looking forward to the test!

Bulk consumers of hard disks and USB sticks, I used to date eSATA, but come up against the limited number of ports of my PC.
I begin to migrate to USB 3.0 offers the same rates with the advantage of power the device unlike eSATA (especially for USB keys).

It is in this perspective that I gained this hub after long hesitation saw the highest price USB hubs 3.0 compared to 2.0 hubs (3 to 4 times more expensive).
But the price has declined in recent months though, I did not hesitate when I saw this hub ports 10 (!) At the price of 4 ports with other manufacturers ...

And honestly, one wonders what is expected by other manufacturers to follow ...

This product has it all:
- The connectors are sufficiently separated to let large USB keys
- There is an ON / OFF button! (Rare on hubs)
- One LED per port for device recognition signal from the PC (LED does not light up if the port is only used to power a device, see examples below)
- Matt black plastic prevents fingerprints and scratches (ras-le-bol finishes "piano" lacquered shiny ...)
- Good build quality (it feels that the manufacturer wishes to reputation)
- It is not weighted, but perfectly held in place with 4 non-slip feet
- Relatively compact for 10 ports (I expected bigger)
- A power supply with detachable cables and connectors, standard (it can be replaced if necessary by a universal AC adapter)
- Detachable USB 3.0 cable and standard (same thing, avoids throwing the hub the day the cable no longer works ...)

One could, ultimately, blame him not to propose holes in the hull to secure vertically with screws or hooks (as found on some equipment such as network switches, for example).

I have connected to test ports 10:
- A 2.5 "USB 3.0 (ORICO 2598SUS3 housing) and its power (2 ports)
- On my screen hub (4 USB 2.0 ports which are a mouse, a Microsoft Sidewinder X4 Keyboard, a wireless dongle for keyboard / mouse Logitech, and another hub / switch 4 USB 2.0 ports which is a keyboard MIDI M-AUDIO KeyStudio 49)
- A key TNT Equinux TubeStick
- A double key DTT tuner Hauppauge WinTV Duet
- Rechargeable LED lamp USB
- A USB 2.0 512MB
- Another USB 2.0 PNY 4GB
- A key Patriot Supersonic USB 3.0 32GB (given for 100 MB / s read and 70MB / s write)
- Another USB mouse
Let 8 devices and 2 power supplies, besides the waterfall + other 4-port hub hub screen.

The write transfer between USB 3.0 drive and key Patriot climb 100 MB / s for large files of several GB.
Not bad for a key announcement at 70 MB / s!
The hub does not seem to limit the transfer rate, but I have yet to test faster devices.

This little world is well recognized (and, therefore, a single USB 3.0 port connected to the computer)
The external power supply used is of course, I have not tried without.
Tested for the moment on my Dell Precision M6600 equipped with 2 USB 3.0 ports Renesas, I have yet to test it on the PC intended for it, equipped with an Asus U3S6 card offering its 2 USB 3.0 ports, also in chipset Renesas. Regarding the same chipset on 2 computers, I think everyone should get along ...
Amazon and the manufacturer indicates that the hub is based chipsets VIA VL812, but my computer only shows the Renesas controllers when connected, which confirms my UVCView software (USB Device Viewer) Microsoft. Strange!

It is of course too early to comment on the long-term reliability of the product.
But no doubt that with the use intended for it (it will eventually include all of my USB drives that can not be connected eSATA), it will be put to the test!

The manufacturer announces a warranty of 18 months (rather strange not to run for years, but it's better than a 1 year warranty!) And seems to monitor quality, evidenced by its various interventions here and instructions, in the box, inviting him to speak on Amazon.

It also offers a "Power User" program that offers to send pre-series products to test and evaluate ...
Approach that I find interesting, involved and why I did not hesitate to enroll.
