Review on StarTech Computer Accessories & Peripherals for Computer Cable Adapters by Daniel Hhneverdie

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Power hungry and not working on two different USB 3.1 cards, cable much shorter than advertised

Had to send it back as defective after extensive troubleshooting. First, it drew so much power from the (perfectly working) CalDigit USB 3.1 card originally plugged into the MacPro tower that it forced other devices on the card to eject. Second, he could barely see the devices plugged into him (such as low-power USB drives). When it did, it crept at speeds below USB 1.0. Finally, the manufacturer's note in the Q&A is completely inaccurate: The cable on the device is no longer than 6 inches. Completely useless when attached to the rear of the tower. - Then where would most people access ports on a regular basis without looking behind the tower?

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Big and clumsy
