Fine, but some USB devices are not compatible with the principle hub

HooToo® Mini Hub 4-Port USB 3.0, Aluminum, iMac, MacBook Air, Pro, MacBook, Mac Mini, PCs and laptops (Electronics)

Customer Review

I begin with details of the external appearance and connection of the hub: it is longitudinal, a little big (which is both a weakness: a bit bulkier than others, and a strong point: to more space between the USB ports and therefore connect some thickish keys), brushed aluminum. Originality compared to most other hubs I know: the connecting cable is secured, it is not possible to disconnect it. Impossible to lose then, but slightly increases the overall size for storage or handling. A small green LED is used to indicate the status of connected or not the device.

In terms of performance, HooToo hub works as expected. It is USB 3. Tested on different USB ports on my computer, it works perfectly on 2 of them, and less well on a third that is not the same standard (USB port present on a multi-port card) . On the least compatible port, the problem is this: a single USB stick plugged in the hub is recognized, but if the hub also hosts a wireless dongle, then the USB drive is no longer recognized (she disconnects and reconnects without stopping, without possibility of opening). This comes from the port as well as the hub, because with another hub of another brand the same problem occurs.
On ports that do not pose a compatibility problem with the simultaneous connection of multiple USB devices, I have a problem with a certain type of device: USB sticks storage are well recognized and used, for against my key Wi-Fi (a quick Hercules) does not. It does not seem compatible with the operating hub; HooToo of the manual talks about it, indicating that some USB radio devices may not function.

Ultimately, this USB hub is of good quality, it seems solid. It works great with compatible USB devices, but before investing in this hub (or another) I advise you to verify that the devices you plan to connect are compatible with the operation hub.
