Product Description: The most important first: The HooToo 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub is plug & play based (not cumbersome driver installation), it has been a surge protector installed and backward compatibility (eg USB 2.0.) Ensured. On its own power source has been omitted, so the stroke is not as a charger.
Functionality: The transmission speeds of a 16 and 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Sandisk Cruzer Extreme 16GB and 64GB) were on HooToo Hub as soon as connected directly to the PC, but only if only a USB flash drive performs a read or write operation. When two read or write operations, the speed per USB flash drive is reduced to about half. There is still a hub, so that's normal. The HooToo will write correctly in two different USB sticks also not warm. Furthermore, the hub is also no noises (eg. Capacitor bleeping) and is thus silently. The USB cable is quite short. According to manufacturer's instructions 31cm, with me it was 36cm. For notebooks certainly adequate, since you can just lay next to the notebook the Hub, but too short for a tower PC, since the cable length is not enough to the hub can be connected at the Tower lay under the table to table. Too Bad. A green LED on the top of the USB3.0 Hub indicates that the hub is connected. The USB hub is compatible with with Windows 7 and 8.1.
Processing: The housing of the hub is made of brushed aluminum, nevertheless acts stable and simple but chic. Small downer here: Small rubber linings (feet) for stability would still have been nice. Then was unfortunately omitted, thus it may happen that the stroke slipping when touched on the desk and possibly minor scratches occur. The 4 slots are on the upper side (I personally find more practical than the side), placed at a sufficient distance from each other. Standard USB memory sticks (without extraordinary forms / figures, etc.) fit here comfortably next to each other and have a firm foothold.
Manual: The manual in the language is German, as in HooToo seemingly usual, just bad. Probably an automated program was used for the translation of the language and not cross-checked the result. With difficulty, but understanding what the manufacturer wants to convey a.
Conclusion: Beautiful, valent and functional USB 3.0 Hub with little weaknesses.
