Who can not have the patience or time or want to read the rather detailed review, the opportunity also has the same below, under "Final Conclusion", read on
Packing:
Delivered is the product in a small, thick cardboard, which packed this tightly and securely in a plastic sheath, encloses, as well as a reasonable size, has and will save you so much packaging waste. As well as the printed Environmental Protection Seal, which assigns an independent federal agency of the USA for the Environment and Conservation compliant products, as well as the already listed on the back of the cardboard English short description and the RoHS-Seal can expect CE Mark already positive ,
The Description:
is, as well as the warranty that came with, plus additional warranty seal, inform a small paper tag of Ugreen Group, unfortunately, written only in English. In addition to the protection and natural seal already mentioned in the above section, there is a seal RoHS Restriction of Hazardous Substances, which aussschließt the use of certain hazardous chemicals. Gives the description information about the correct use, contents of the package, such as the specification features. Some of this is self-explanatory listed by means of an illustration, so that you will be left even when not existing English skills, of the possible connection / Verwendungsmöglickeiten, not completely in unclear.
First overall impression:
When unpacking from the plastic bag, I felt the smooth, hard plastic, which consisted of the housing, and clean, from the look and feel her, made a low-quality impression. The 4 USB ports were taped with an adhesive film, as well as the nomale USB stick with a cap secured against dust, etc. was. The Micro USB drive, however, had no protection that was provided either that, or he has lost me. Also no doomsday. Despite the unsightly Habtik, as well as the disadvantage that the material fingerprints, as well as dust and dirt particles attracts almost can not be faulted from a processing perspective, from me. The housing is fit, and also has no small error tolerances, as well as the ports all are secure in the housing, and provide ample space to each other, so that's necessary when plug and unplug any fumbling. Nothing is loose, like everything has been trimmed properly, and there are no unpleasant excesses, such as at the LED. The cables have a solid strength, which should counteract early break. Odor product is neutral, and does not smell of any plasticizers. Here I would again like to, on the above-mentioned certificate of my license plate, back.
Operation / Application:
The application is more than just because the hub is automatically recognized by most devices. Have it on PC, Windows XP, and 8, as, also connected to the Playstation 3 and 4, as well as Xbox 360 and One, and the stroke was to make use of any device without any installation problems detected immediately. I call Plug and Play and hot-swap, since I had feared difficulties at least for my game consoles, while running under Linux or Windows. Is the HUB on a PC, console, etc. connected lights when current / operation receiving the LED in a subtle blue, which is not too bright, and therefore not disruptive in the night's work, for example, in the dark, the stroke should be in the field of view of the user . are The data transfer rate is at the most, as with USB 3.0 standard, 5GB per second, but that is of course dependent on the respective device occupied.
The hub is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, then of course with a much lower data transfer rate than the potential at 5Gbps USB 3.0. The versatile device also supports external hard drives, in which, however, a separate power supply is required. It is worth mentioning especially in this version of the stroke, the OTG function (On-the-Go), the compatibility between many Android devices as zBSamsung / Nokia smart phones (which must support OTG) with the micro USB 3.0 Stick, with keyboards, mice, flash drives, etc. makes possible, without having to resort to a host.
Because of being too massive cable, with its high weight, which of course is for the shelf life of advantage, however, there is also a small problem, which is, one should the Hub on a smooth surface, such as place of a table, so slips of the HUB inevitably to gravity to the table edge, if the attached object should be placed under the table. Here the 4 indicated adhesive feet do not help because they do everything possible not only adhere. Here a Haftpad, or double-sided tape afford cheap help.
Due to its small Außmaße (L / H / W = 7,8cm / 2cm / 5cm), as well as due to the low weight of about 150 grams incl. Cord, this hub is also wonderful as a mobile travel companion.
Safety / Health:
An integrated surge protection provides security and protection against unpleasant surprises such as sudden loss of data, or even short-circuit. The existing CE marking is not a seal of approval, similar to TÜV, but must then be carried out if all EU directives are fulfilled, to be used for the product. This ensures at least a minimum level of security because the wrongful affixing of the CE marking will be prosecuted.
Overall Conclusion:
An all-round talent that can convince ability with some special features, as well as its Plug and Play. Unfortunately, in some criteria could be improved. This relates primarily to the cheap-looking Habtik, with their extra sensitivity to dirt, as well as the lack of reasonable detention feet. What can ultimately lead to 4 stars me then, is the lack of German instruction.
This hub is suitable for anyone who expects a rapidly deployable, inexpensive product, which is widely compatible, as well as small and light, and make as well as useful travel companion can.

Looking forward to your feedback, and each has the taken the time this review to hopefully with insights read.
