The seventh port has also a nice feature. He also supplies current when the computer is off, which is good if you just have a USB port needs to charge a device. My smartphone and my Samsung tablet I can charge so easily.

Short USB CABLE
The only thing that should be aware of buyers is that the supplied USB cable only 80cm long. This limits the options when you plug it in at the back of a desktop PC and then still want to reach the ports. If this applies to you, you should allow a few extra euros for a longer cable. Fortunately, I had lying around a long USB 3.0 cable at home, so I can use this.

USB hubs VERSUS WITHOUT POWER
For those who are not aware of the difference between USB hubs with versus without power supply: USB powered hub (like the present) must be plugged into the computer and into a power outlet in addition to the USB port. However, this means that they deliver in all its ports power for devices that need it. USB hubs without power supply are good for devices such as mice or keyboards, draw not much power, but not suitable for things like charging a smartphone or connecting with those external hard drives that are powered via a USB port with power ,
