Review on πŸ”Œ atolla 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with On/Off Switch, Super Speed USB Splitter + 1 USB Charging Port, 2ft Cable Length (No AC Adapter) by Brian Potter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Carefully tailored to your needs.

This USB hub is compact and very beautiful. I like the fact that the cable is connected on the shorter side because I can place it right next to my laptop where a lot of people are sitting on my desk. I've seen ones where the cord comes out on the longer side and I suspect it takes up more room than it's actually big. Anyway, it's been working great for the past 5 months and I love the idea of being able to turn the feature on and off on each port because I don't have to pull it out all the way just to turn it off where I'll be using it a lot soon. anyway again. I believe that unplugging wears out the USB hardware. It's quite small and light. Also, the ports are parallel to each other and not lined up, and I think that's a definite plus from a practical point of view, because if the USB devices were wider in case size, they'd be competing for space (although there's more than one port, you'd have to man or something) if the ports were lined up. This is not a problem with this center. Finally, the charging port is unusual and I can just plug it in to charge without worrying that it's actually connected to my computer. So far he's done what he has to do well and I'm happy with that. I haven't found any serious flaws in it so far. Would recommend to my friends and family.

Pros
  • The USB 3.0 ports support Super Speed transfer (5Gbps) and are backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 devices.
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
