Review on πŸš€ RocketU 1144E - High Point's Versatile USB 3.0 HB Controller for Reliable 5Gb/s Connectivity by Adam Jauregui

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Driverless and absolutely painless.

Driverless installation on Linux and Windows. Works flawlessly. I made a silly mistake trying to order a Molex extension as it can only be in the bottom slot of my case. The cables are junk and look like they were assembled by children. You don't actually *need* a 12V power supply for this - if your USB devices aren't drawing significant current from the outlet (and most of them are), then the bus is providing enough power. Don't even bother with the cable. Fur. On the other hand, if you charge your Tesla S using a USB 3.0 port, you may need to connect a Molex. YMMV.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Socket required
