Pros
All metal brushed aluminum construction, and the small size. Strong cable, it's short and not very flexible, but it's sturdy. Several usb slots on it so you can connect to the internet but also have additional usb space.
All three usb ports function at 3. Gbps, which is expected from a usb hub marketed as usb 3. The ethernet controller is the asix ax88179. It also functions as a ubs 3.
Superspeed implementation (vid 2109 pid 0817) and can be found in many laptops. It's able to send at around 606 mbps and receive at 861 mbps. Data transfer rates to drives connected to the usb ports are at usb 3 speeds and are constant, with no lags.
This usb hub keeps it simple, with three usb 3. Ports. On windows 10, the usb3. Port is used for. Connecting to host 10.
Highlights
Quality
Build qualityi thought the build quality was excellent
I used the ethernet for around 12hrs straight and i had no issues with the hub or ethernet dropping out
I ran several tests using totusoft lan speed test and with the hub it was consistently over 520mbps download
Although it is a good product i would wait for it to go on sale
Competitiveness
The additional usb ports are a must for laptop users and the metal construction makes it more robust than other plasticky offerings
99 cad which makes it a steal compared to the more expensive startech usb 3
At the time of review the unit costs 23
0 speed up to 5gbps 500mbs and back compatible with usb2
