The housing of the hub is made of plastic. It is mostly black only on the top is a half silver - a small disadvantage: on the black plastic, in piano finish, you can see every fingerprint. On the underside of 4 Rubber feet are attached, so the HUB is also safe. The USB HUB is well made - I could not see any sharp or similar degrees.
The HUB has on the front 4 USB 3.0 ports, right a charging port 5V / 2A - for a smart phone, or the like on the top is easily visible and accessible to the A / Stop Button when on lights a blue LED - which ports data cable and power connectors are located on the back. As a bit disturbing I find the right rigid data cable, which easily lifts the connected HUB, because it can not be easily bent.
The USB 3.0 HUB is backward compatible. The SuperSpeed mode permits transmission rates of up to 5Gbps. The HUB is recognized after plugging it under Windows once the download a special driver is not so necessary. Hot swapping is also supported. Four green LEDs at the top indicate on which ports are accessed. Supported operating systems Windows XP / Vista / 7/8 / 8.1 and Mac OS.
The HB5001 by Inateck not only looks good, it also keeps its promises. He is instantly recognized, is self-explanatory and can be inserting without any problems. Well I like that both the data and the power cord over a meter are long - since I use the hub to my PC that has enough USB ports. So far everything has been detected, an external hard drive just like a mouse or a USB flash drive, also charging via the charging port is quick and easy.
The USB 3.0 HUB HB5001 by Inateck met all my expectations. I highly recommend him.
