The rolls of USB 3.0 Hub

Delivered in cardboard, metal finishing hub includes a long USB cable handy nearly 1.20 meter to position other than above the tower or next door. There is also the charger delivering 12V 5A with a cable length of more than 2.20m connected to the transformer in the middle (1.10 meters taking the transformer and the transformer at 1.10 meters Hub). The Hub requires to have continuous power supply connected to function as USB 3.0 and is energy HA 500 issued by the computer's USB are not enough to run all components properly (some external drives require 1A ) especially with the 13 available ports.

The transfer rates are good in my USB 2.0 up to 28 MB / s with USB 3.0 (Allreli) and a USB 3.0 hard drive, or 8 MB / s with USB 2.0 (from the PC to the key or the external hard drive). In USB 3.0, with a 5.46 GB file jatteins 46 MB / s from the PC to the USB drive and 106 MB / s in the other direction. It's even better with the external hard drive (Samsung M3) with respective rates of 85 MB / s (PC to external disk) and 109 MB / s of external drive to the PC. Inevitably, the rates tend to fall into multiple transfers, which is found on all hubs that I've experienced. I said that these rates are obviously variable and depending on the material used and the configuration of the PC (for information, it varies from one to two on 3 PCs tested very different configuration).

Level quality, the Hub is impeccable with its all-aluminum finish in gray. He well remembers the Apple design, with aluminum and white cables. An on / off button is present with a blue LED that lights up on the side in operation. Then one LED lights connected to each USB port. This powerhouse is necessarily imposing (25,9x5x5cm) and weighs 430 grams.

Ultimately, the hub meets the advertised promises and offers a good length of cable. To counter its massive aspect, the manufacturer has taken the gamble of a cubic appearance aluminum that suits him rather well. Further, to adapt to modern needs, it provides 2 ports charge, plus 13 available which are solely dedicated to the charge of tablets and smartphones. 1 is a universal Said and the other delivers a maximum load of 2.4A called super load. This is a great product for a more professional use seen its dimensions and the number of available ports (13 + 2 charge).

Pros: - 13 available ports USB 3.0 - 2 ports in addition to the load devices - Aluminum Design
Cons: - imposing template that does not go unnoticed
