This product is the essential complement to any PC or Mac laptop as these laptops usually have only 2 or 3 USB 3.0 ports at most.
Running both Windows (8.1 included) that MacOS X 10, the HT-UH15 is for any PC user and / or Mac. Also compatible with products running Linux and Android, it fits most tablets and smartphones, provided they have the proper connectors and cables.
Very compact (9,6cm x 3,0cm x 2.2 cm) and weighing only 45 grams, it is also functional in use fixed and mobile. The 4 USB 3.0 ports are located on top and sufficiently spaced to accept all of the keys and jacks that are connected to him, even when they are large or thick. A small green LED indicates that the hub is connected and functional. The USB Hub measuring 40cm, sufficient length regardless of the location of the USB ports on the laptop. A user manual in 4 languages usefully complete the compact packaging of this product.
Tested with an Asus Zenbook UX32VD Windows 8.1 and a Macbook Air running OS X 10.10, this Hub also proves a reliable performer. There were no performance decrease from a direct connection to the USB port of the laptop. No need external power, the HT-UH15 can even support a 2.5 "hard drive and maintain external USB 3.0's performance while ensuring a reliable connection. However, note that the total consumption of the units connected to it is not excessive. My test was performed with a 2.5 "drive 700mA, USB 3.0 and a wireless mouse dongle, less than 900mAh in all, a maximum in my opinion. In practice, it is best to connect the external disk to a USB 3.0 port of the laptop.
Finance side, the price of HT-UH15 is very competitive compared to other less developed hubs and whose quality is often lower, especially if we take into account its highly advanced features and performance, also its very successful aesthetic .
Note that the registration of the product on the site Hoo Too enables the user to benefit from a 6-month warranty extension, 18 months in all.
In conclusion, this mini USB 3.0 Hub now offers one of the best value price / performance / class technology.
