With seven USB ports + 2 charging ports, the hub is necessarily quite long (14,5x4,4x2,4cm) and weighs 109 grams. The Hub is quite pleasant to the touch and does not take fingerprints (except on top). The location is sufficient and can even put a USB key drive (bigger than a USB key) without blocking the port voisin.Tout black with blue USB ports (specific to USB 3.0) a discreet red LED lights up continuously to indicate its operation as soon as the transformer is connected. On the extreme right, each port number is entered and lights green when connecting an object. It is also very visual and very practical.
In transfer rate, either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, HDD or USB drive, I found the same transfer rate I usually with my Hub 3.0. It's complicated to specify values as they differ from one PC to another depending on many parameters (PC configuration, device quality, file type). For information purposes, with a file of a block of more than 5GB, I got respective rates of 85 MB / s (PC to external drive Samsung M3) and 109 MB / s of external drive to the PC.
In addition to good performance, Hub adapts to modern uses by offering two ports max loads. 2.4A of 7 ports in addition to already available. It is rather welcome with multiplication devices of all kinds. A counselor so large consumers of USB ports.
Pros: - simple design - 7 + 2 USB ports load 2.4A max - Good cable length
Cons: - essential transformer making it less mobile
