To multiply the ports USB 2.0

The hub measures a little less than 9 x 3.5 and 2 cm in height with a maximum cable of about 30 cm, which is integral with the hub and therefore can not be removed. Aesthetically, the whole is pretty with materials reminiscent of Apple, based on aluminum and white (sides of the hub, cable). The shape is original and allows easy access to 4 USB ports. Note that it comes with an adhesive tape if you want to fix it.

Performance-wise, this 2.0 hub is in line with expectations and shows the same transfer rate that without the hub. With USB 2.0, transfers are to 8 MB / s when they reach 28 MB / s with USB 3.0 key. In multiple transfers, rates decrease somewhat without collapsing so far and remain very good. You can charge devices through the many ports. For against, the space between the ports is insufficient. As inserts the front and not the side, they tend to be touching. It is even worse with a USB card reader style (bigger).

In short, this hub fulfills his promises, notably with a good cable length. However, it is for its design and its original shape we can be tempted by this hub that premium wants. Too bad the ports are horizontally and not vertically, it might as well spend 4 USB keys without worry.
