I have been using this on a little laptop I have which is used mainly for my daughter doing her homework assignments, logging into the school portal to download homework, messing with her android phone adding music etc, it’s running windows 10 but doesn’t have a network connection which is a drawback as the home WiFi can be a bit sketchy sometimes so the network port or any card reading slots on this is ideal.
It comes in a simple plastic sleeve box and on Windows 10 its plug and play instantly recognised with not additional drivers to download or install. I tested all the USB 3.0 with a couple of USB thumb drives I have and transferred a few files and played some video directly and the speed was on a par with the direct USB 3.0 port connection on the laptop, I then tested a couple of USB 2.0 thumb drives I have which it recognised and worked again on a par with a direct USB connection into the ports on the laptop and also worked with a mix of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.
The laptop allocates a new drive letter to each new device added and you can copy and play from multiple devices on the USB hub, I tested both a micro SD card and a normal SD card and both worked fine, I tested the network connection which switched from WiFi to hardwire network automatically. I then went on to test the HDMI output which worked great and as is normal on Windows 10 if you don’t already have it set, right click, select display settings and make sure you have it set for multiple displays.
Overall this is a neat little unit with a space gray or what I would call brushed aluminium finish and deep blue LED’s behind the slots which makes guiding the connection in slightly easier, it did everything I asked of it and did it well so it gets top marks from me.
