It has been written much truth to this USB hub. For those who are looking for a USB hub: Make sure that the hub has an (active) power supply. This is necessary if, for example here: want to connect USB hard drives. A USB port provides max. 500mA, 2.5 "HDDs will, however, usually 600mA or more required. Are the 500mA not, this may even lead to data loss. This is also the reason why in many enclosed connector 2.5 "HDDs a cable with dual USB. This HAMA USB hub so you can not go wrong, because the power supply is sufficient.
What I really like in this Hub, is the arrangement of the ports. These are sufficiently far apart.
