Review on StarTech.com 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Gigabit Ethernet - High-Speed Portable USB Expander with Built-in Cable - Up to 5Gbps by Stephen Schmidt

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for MacBook Air

that I use with a 2015 MacBook Air that I bought after my 2012 Retina MBPro was destroyed in an accident (which cost me thousands of dollars damage and costly surgery on my right shoulder). This works great as I need to use FireWire, Thunderbolt and Ethernet drives at the same time. Enough power can be passed through to use Ethernet (Apple recognizes it immediately) along with a 1TB SATA/USB 3.0 SSD and a mouse, giving me everything (expansion, storage and network, plus connectivity to FireWire cameras like Sony HDR FX1 ). I cannot recommend it enough as it works seamlessly on both the OS X side and the Windows 10 side. Also easy and just the right place. Get it if you also need an extra gigabit port for reliability, connectivity, or to build a router.

Pros
  • , good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
