The short stroke is attractively priced and has the dimensions of approximately 5 x 7 inches, so he fits anywhere. The cable is nearly 80 cm long. On the plus side is that the USB port is protected with a plastic cap. In general, the part is well packaged and again surrounded by a plastic sheath around the box, so you know that you get new.
The stroke itself is made of black glossy plastic, unfortunately, he is prone to fingerprints. While the bottom has four mini-knobs, but the hub slips away on the desk, that's the only thing that bothers me. Although he does not scratch the surface of the table, but he slips away.
The Hub 3.0 is backward compatible with 2.0 and 1.1. My laptop and my PC with the Windows 7 systems have recognized him. Transfer of work, no matter what device or what stick I plug.
Knappe 5 stars due to the sliding bottom.
