Pros

It is convenient that no external power pack is needed. Great addition to my mobile office equipment. Has a blue led light too which is lit when a usb device is plugged into it.



Cons

This negates efficient use with a macbook. The more recent version of the sanwa 4 port hub also has a slimline adapter so it only takes one slot in the power bar. It's probably a good product, but i'll hold off on a usb hub for the time being.

Quality


I bought this device along with the longer cable i have also reviewed.


The power indicator didn't light up either from battery power or with the ac adapter, so the hub was absolutely dead and useless.

Competitiveness


I find startech products generally pretty good.


I plugged in 4 different usb accessories using usb3 devices and they all worked fine.


In my own experience, startech makes good products.
