What customers say
This hub earns positive marks primarily for its exceptional reliability and professional grade construction. Users value its consistent performance, noting the sturdy metal casing instills confidence for demanding setups. The core drawback is its adherence to the older USB 2.0 standard. Many consumers find the 480 Mbps speed restrictive for modern, large file transfers, impacting the perceived value given the premium Gefen pricing. While it performs flawlessly within its 2.0 limits, the outdated technology is a significant hurdle for mainstream appeal. It suits a niche prioritizing industrial reliability over current speed capabilities.
