I bought it to connect a audio interface (Steinberg UR22) and a keyboard to my Macbook Pro. Only the keyboard works through the hub. The audio interface doesn't.
On top of this, when I connect an usb3 external harddisk (WD 1TB), the data transfert speed is about 30% lower than when connected directly to my Mac.
In summary, very disappointed, not recommended.
I also would like an on/off switch, because I don't like my devices to stay powered on when they are not connected to the computer.
Pro
- small size
Contra
- contains a magnet - be careful where you place it
- limit the speed
- does not play well with audio interfaces
- needs an on/off switch
Audio interfaces should not be connected via a usb-hub. You will Need almost every bit of the 500mA you get out of a usb-bus.
