Not what I expected - AT ALL.

Something that was not advertised at all in the product description is that it is low light. A bright downward light that stays on while the computer is on. I…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A dubious purchase for the elderly

A good USB hub is just a few questions

I love this USB -hub. Love the fact that it has a detachable USB cable, the aluminum body, the rubber grommet to keep it in place, and the fact that the ports are well spaced.

Pros
  • Supports transfer rates up to 5Gbps (USB 3.0), 480Mbps (USB 2.0), 12Mbps (USB 1.1)
Cons

I rarely need 2 USB ports as many external devices use Wi-Fi or BlueTooth so I only use them for my thumb and external hard drive. I made the mistake of not understanding what I bought. I think what I wanted is called a

Pros
  • Instantly add four USB 3.0 ports to any compatible device
Cons
  • Modern
