The seventh port has also a nice feature. He also supplies current when the computer is off, which is good if you just have a USB port needs to charge a device. My Samsung tablet I can charge so easily. My Samsung smartphone is loaded even above the other ports when the computer is off.
The hub comes with a Velcro closure, one can stick to the bottom hub. I glued the softer part of the Velcro on the bottom, because the Hub is padded something and I can not scratch my desk or something better is because he can not easily slip away. The other part of the Velcro can stick on his desk or the like, so that the stroke is very stable and strong. This I have not done, because I was afraid that the adhesive strips the surface of my desk attacks, and because the Hub is also quite stable.
The USB cable is only 40cm long. This limits the options when you plug it in at the back of a desktop PC and then still want to reach the ports. Unfortunately, it is also not possible to insert a longer USB 3.0 cable, because the cable is firmly connected to the hub and can not be removed. For me, this is not a problem because I use the hub with a laptop and can reach all ports easily.

USB hubs VERSUS WITHOUT POWER
For those who are not aware of the difference between USB hubs with versus without power supply: USB powered hub (like the present) must be plugged into the computer and into a power outlet in addition to the USB port. However, this means that they deliver in all its ports power for devices that need it. USB hubs without power supply are good for devices such as mice or keyboards, draw not much power, but not suitable for things like charging a smartphone or connecting with those external hard drives that are powered via a USB port with power ,
