This USB hub is reliable and without difficulty: one branch, it just works! I have not wanted to try with emotional features like Steinberg key example but for the rest it's all good. It is a hub for independent power, so think of off the power when the PC is idle if not connected remain energized, which offers an interest only in a very limited number of situations. The contacts are holding up, you plug and unplug without fatigue contacts to date (6 months).
