I've placed this 3.0 USB Hub bought to cover up for the laptop fast data on two external hard drives can. On the hard drives, it is not: Proof directly connected to the PC to function this properly! About the Hub there constantly problems: First, the PC recognizes the stroke, then again not. Then the hard disks have switched off, or have "alarms" on its given ... etc. (There is also an extra connection for 5 volts with "small transformer": all functions or dysfunctions, with or without additional energy equal ....) On the website of this company This 3.0 hub is not performed if there is a driver for it, for me is not been comprehensible (... the first time the driver has been detected after the plug?) I highly recommend this device, which is also a little on big plus is impractical from the terminals, do not recommend!
