Overall Review: Gets a little warm (not hot) under load (either powering a lot of things or heavy bus traffic) but I've not seen a good USB2 hub that didn't put out a little heat, and I expect it to warm a little while keeping power to a couple 7200RPM laptop drives in external bays. Not worth counting off points because it's hard to overcome this reasonably in a device of this size. Also, you'll probably have to hold it with your other hand (or something else) when inserting or removing cables, for the same reason. I like the activity lights, since I like having lights that tell me something instead of just being 'pretty'.Ĭons: Too lightweight to stay in place if you have cables draped over the side of the desk or similar (gravity will win and pull the whole thing off). Works well with multiple devices at different speeds, and each device seems to work at its native rate as if it were the only device connected to the PC. It includes a power converter, capable of supporting multiple 7200RPM 2.5' drives in USB powered bays (rather than requiring them to be self-powered).
