Works well and is easy to hide.

Used as a pseudo dock. It's installed on my desk and connected to several peripherals, a webcam, a network adapter, and a wireless keyboard/mouse dongle. Laptops connected to the desk could easily detect and use peripherals. Easy assembly with multiple mounting methods available. It's a bit big but it's secluded and appears to be well built. Power options are flexible, and again the power adapter is a bit oversized, but it should provide enough power for all USB 3.0 ports.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • 0

Nice solid USB hub that migrated to my Linux host with no problems.

Works as expected. There are no enumeration problems. Recognized correctly on my host machine. I am using Linux 5.x kernel on Ubuntu. The case makes a solid impression and is easy to assemble.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Conflicting/confusing specs

From the description "and can support BC 1.2 which delivers up to 2.4A (12W) to any two ports depending on available power" "supports also USB 1.2 battery charging specification, delivers up to 2.4A to each port up to a maximum total output of 50W 50W / 12W (each 2.4A per port) = 4 ports, not 2 ports, can not 2.4 A will deliver to all or even most of its ports at once no matter how much power you have. Too expensive for what it does.

Pros
  • Not only useful for intended purpose
Cons
  • Negative impression

Works great, sheer performance

This works great, I had power issues on my USB hub before I switched to this one and haven't had any since. The power supply is clean and I have no noise on my USB DAC connected to this hub.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Makes me angry
