This review is from: USB 3.0 4-Port Industrial Hub Metal Case with Screw Lock Cable OptionI'll start by saying that this is an expensive hub. However, I have purchased 3 of them and am contemplating a 4th.
ADVANTAGES (for me)
- It's a heavy, all metal hub, with superb build quality. The build quality seriously cannot be matched. IMHO nothing comes close.
- Has bus and self powered modes. I don't worry about power in this thing at all with the external power, but it can also function passively. It's well built and well ventilated.
- If you look at the down ports, they have holes on each side of the port to screw in the USB cables. I don't have any devices with these attachments, but this is serious industrial connection strength if you have the need.
- And my personal favorite... it has mounting screw holes on the chassis.
DISADVANTAGES (which may or may not matter, they don't really matter to me)
- It's not really pretty. It's industrial quality, but it's also industrial looking. It's great for mounting under a desk surface, leg, wall, or other not super conspicuous place.
- It only has 4 down ports. Not a really big deal for me, as I have multiple hubs, but it can get pricey if you have several devices.
I got these hubs with a new computer build that has USB 3.0 in a new home. I knew my setup would be very fixed for a long time, so I wanted a serious solution for the new USB 3.0 protocol (and backwards compatible connecting 2.0 devices of course). I mounted these under my desk and on the side of a hutch with some small screws. The hubs are quite immobile. I can plug/unplug devices at will and it won't slide around at all. I never worry about pulling power, or yanking cables out for my more mobile accessories. The ones under my desk surface are perfect for printers, mice, microphones, keyboards, etc. the stuff that I never really unplug. I have ports to spare. The one on the side of the hutch is for the devices that I plug/unplug a lot like thumb drives, phone, tablet, cameras, etc. It looks fine, and is in area where I can arrange cable routing very conveniently.
I highly recommend this hub if you need serious durability, performance, or you need to screw the hubs down to keep them from sliding all over the place. They're not shiny, but not meant to be. They are a power-user's hub....
