Without any problems functioning USB 3.0 Hub with funny design that works without power supply

Interesting design!
That was my first thought when you unpack UGreen 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub
With black and white plastic him a kind of cartridge shell design was donated.
A small tribute to the '70s and' 80s.
Who even knows, knows :-)

Supplied are:

1 x 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub design a music cassette
1 x 5V 3A power supply
1 x USB 3.0 cable
1 x Manual (English and an Asian language)
1 x Warranty Card

The first thing I noticed positively. The supplied AC adapter is fortunately turned out very small and therefore suitable for multiple plugs.

Another advantage of this stroke is also fast.
It is not necessary to connect the AC adapter to power the Hub (active mode).
It can therefore be used as a passive hub if the connected devices have its own power supply or USB sticks have the USB 3.0 port of the computer can be powered.
Mir is very important because I can run this as a permanent hub Zweithub passive to quickly connect times sticks and memory card reader.

The Quick Start Guide is not available in English only, the start but can be mastered easily without any hurdle.
Attach the power cord (if desired) side plug into the hub, then plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and the USB 3.0 cable to the left in the hub and this to the PC. Finished!
Practically, the arrangement of the two cables on one side, so the stroke remains compact and not runs wild by both sides.

The ports are sensibly arranged.
Two front, two top and three at the back. This is a tidy desk very well.
The ports are also very far apart to even larger USB flash drives, card readers, etc. take.
Very good!

Unfortunately, the Hub offers but no LED signaling the used / active ports, which I think is a pity.
But that's whining at a high level.

The installation under Windows 7 Ultimate went smoothly.
Without problems four equipment components have been successfully installed the system.

Also, the operation is completely unobtrusive with me
Two external 3.5-inch hard drives, a Sandisk USB 3.0 and a USB 3.0 Stick Poppstar and two card readers (one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0) were detected immediately and the data transfer rates were all limited by the connected devices.

With USB 3.0 Hubs occurs quite often problems with the recognition, the transfer rates and crashes.
Not here, the hub just seems to eat everything!

So I can absolutely recommend him and give clear the full 5 stars.

I hope this review could assist you in your buying decision ...
