This review is from: HooToo® HT-UH005 Ultra-Slim Compact SuperSpeed USB 3.0 4-Port Hub (Latest VIA VL812 Chipset, 5V/2A Power Adapter, 2.3 feet USB 3.0 Cable, Free Magic Velcro Stickers)
Pros:
This product is a great buy and works well with Windows 8 PCI Express card USB 3.0 plug and play.
Cons:
The cable sent with the hub is generally too short and didn't work with my set up also my WD HDD external drives were not recognized in my computer after connecting the hub to the USB 3.0 PCI express card and both WD HDD to the hub
Overall Review:
HT-UH005. In regards to using the hub I am using Windows 8 X64 and connected the hub to my USB 3.0 PCI express card at the back of my tower after connecting my WD HDD to the hub using their 2.3 feet cable I noticed that there was a flash of blue screen and my computer did not recognized the HDD. I disconnected the 2.3 feet cable from the hub and I had a spare 4 feet WD USB 3.0 cable that I plugged into the hub and connected this to my UB 3.0 PCI express card at the tower and it came alive my computer now recognizes the WD HDD external drive and all works well when the power cable is connected to the hub. The only thing I noticed is that my computer does not shut down completely and so I use the sleep mode of my computer which works well with the hub to allow my external drives that are connected to the hub to maintain sleep mode until needed. Please advise if this action is a normal function for my computer when my drives are connected to the hub and the hub is connected to my PCI express card? I have ordered the 3.3 feet cable that is used with the 7 port hub in order to test the uniformity and see if this works and corrects any compatibility issues however things are working please advise. Thanks
