Default USB2 screw-type HUB


Garbage. Cheap, they all are except for the usual jerk-around for the
usual money spent with four times less intelligence than it takes to
figure, really, much else out.

A politically shriveled Chinese market merged with Hong Kong now means
25% mark-up on domestic West Coast exclusions to sourcing the
distribution direct from China. All aside, largely, a 7-port USB2 HUB
with a 1000ma transformer, largely being among things more
indispensable to computer usage.

No great loss for the disappointment that a USB2 hub purportedly
handles specs for up to 500G external storage devices. What it does,
however, upon being identified correctly for a HUB device is to spit
and stutter all over unusually long identity times, upon the USB
flashstick then inserted, whereupon assigned a drive letter and
accessed the flashdrive media will periodically fall out of sync for a
time recovery interval. Very bad to abysmal actual intent.

A useless HUB for digital data established, with an included
transformer (the "stress" is on to sell them, of course, without one),
the so-called HUB then can "double" for a USB power source for modest
current draw. There are certainly a lot more of crap newly designed
for USB usage;- battery toothbrushes, for instance, or just about
anything else with a battery for recharging purposes.

Harsh somehow doesn't seem least rude for 75% people responding within
favorable adequacy;- that 25% can then be an abominable damnation,
sorry to say, is if they're all experiencing dropped-sync issues
across the current crop of Chinese HUBS.

I guess it boils down to something like Microsoft first World Press
Premier when USB itself was introduced. The stage was set and cameras
were live for a live USB demonstration: Microsoft plugged a mouse
into a USB port and the damn thing didn't work.

Perhaps that's the way computers increasingly now are for hardware
assembly. Cheap stuff I might presume, on one hand, not having moved
"up" to paying six or more times what I've usually paid on parts among
some offerings, better decorum is not specifically to name. On the
other hand, cheap is showing like a proverbial first date with her
slip beneath her dress hanging below her knees.
