I received this Alcey Premium 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub Aluminum as a test product. The build quality is good, the 40 cm short cord could be a very long line. I close my existing long USB cable with Micro USB connector but directly. The Hub is certainly on its silicone lining, and does not slip away so quickly. In terms of writing speed I put in with my single USB 3.0 Stick no delay fixed, I can load the drive via the hub to 60 MB / s data. My old USB 2.0 drives are recognized and I can easily access it. The housing is made primarily of aluminum and so justifies the price.
For hours of backups on disk I will in the future continue to connect the hard drive directly to the PC. This USB hub has indeed a power socket but I have not a single 5V power supply with matching small round plug. So I will only connect my small storage media here.
