Pros: On the face of it, a good idea. Small, powered, 7-port, $15. Can't beat that.

Cons: Received the item and found that it had the intel logo printed on it. Wow, even better, a brand name. No, not exactly. Also included was a sticker stating "Intel promotional merchandise not for resale.does not feature Intel Technology". Plugged it in to a Raspberry Pi, MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude, none of them worked.
