Pros: - 2/3 of USB 3.0 speeds
- Light is soft and difused
Cons: - Faster would be nice but, honestly, it's fine.
Overall Review: I tested a USB SSD attached via this hub in CrystalDiskMark and was able to get 405.8 MB/s. That's only about 2/3 of the theoretical maximum of 640 MB/s for a USB 3.0 5Gbps device (capital B for Bytes, lowercase for bits), but still significantly faster than USB 2.0.
When directly attached to the same USB 3.0 10Gbps port that I connected the hub to, the same SSD can do over 960MB/s, so the slowdown comes entirely from the hub.
It has a soft blue light, which is nicely diffused, and seems to work fine.
