Weight feather, 59 gr of a reduced size and with rounded corners, the cable is secured, which is important, no accidental disconnection, the length thereof is about 40 cm, valuable for pc where catches USB 3 are located at the rear. It fits easily into a briefcase pc without taking up space.
I tested this on multiple computers hub under Windows 8.1, all with a usb plug 3, the latest generation iMac, MacBookPro and my late 2011 (usb 2) and a netbook xubuntu (USB2), and I was very pleasantly surprised that the performance under the hood.
The rates of transfers between USB 3 is equivalent between different pcs and Imac, for example:
under Windows 8.1 Pro (test at work) subject to CrystalDiskMark:
Tested in parallel:
- 1 usb 32GB usb 2
Sequential Read: 20 297 MB / s
Sequential Write: 14,767 MB / s
- 1 HD 1TB USB self-powered 3
Sequential Read: 103 410 MB / s
Sequential Write: 103 318 MB / s
- 1 HD 1TB USB self-powered 3
Sequential Read: 86 745 MB / s
Sequential Write: 86,538 MB / s
This varies of course but it gives a good idea of the capabilities of this little gem.
On my MacBookPro and my netbook with Linux, transfer rates are between 20 and 30 MB / s for USB 2, which is honorable.
Immediately recognized by all computer models tested, a green LED lights up as soon as the branch.
To go further in testing, I connected the USB hub on an electric charger and USB 2 external batteries connected in parallel (3000 mAh and 2200 mAh), charging went well.
The attached document is multi-language, including French, but the only downside, although understandable, it is mistranslated.
To conclude, it is a very excellent product, following me everywhere, I advise eyes closed.
