Solves USB problems for a good price, buy right or buy twice

Like many others, I've built many small hubs over the years, creating a serial mess that mostly only worked even though I had the USB -Constraint topology followed one, ie no deeper than 5 levels. This got rid of the clutter and fixed the issue where the drives sometimes turn on and don't show up until I reboot. The Pros78 watt power supply should be able to spin up 8 2.5" USB drives simultaneously. A thoughtfully designed laptop like a power supply isn't a wall, buttons and ports are well placed, it's about 2 inches longer than cramped Acasis designs housework and wear and tear from reconnecting things 13-port aluminum Orico always feels to me warmer on Cons Lightweight plastic isn't as good as the pricier aluminum model, but it costs less, so it's okay All at a Glance LED indicators are fairly dim, shining through holes in the case with no light guides, so are heavy from the side are recognizable. The corrugated top of the carton makes labeling difficult.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Nothing here
