Pros: I wanted one drive that would work with both newer USB 3 devices and my older MacBook Pro with Firewire. This looks like it will do it.

Cons: Firewire port is a 9 pin. Need an adapter to get it to work with my older MacBook Pro. LaCie software only puts HFS+ (Mac OS Extended journaled) file system on the disk. No mention of the newer APFS. Might work if you use Apple Disk Utility but I have not tried it. Slight hissing noise. Louder than my previous drive. Not enough to bug me.

Overall Review: Good choice for a large external drive.

Pros: Been through a tough time getting a USB 3 hub with lots (10 or more) ports. First one said it was USB 3, had blue plugs like USB 3, but only USB 2 electronics inside. Second one was USB 3 and rated 2 Amps but unable to power my external hard drive. This does everything except the Apple SuperDrive (which I don't think works at all with any hub.) Smaller than the last one. Connects my MacBook Pro to my keyboard, numeric pad, track pad, space mouse, Contour Shuttle, Waccom tablet, Arduino, ESP32, flash drive, web cam and still 3 ports left over.

Cons: Lots of fairly bright blue LEDs. Going to get some dark tape to cover them.

Overall Review: A good choice for someone with LOTS of USB devices. I have not yet tried the charger only ports.

Pros: Setup went easily enough. Things worked when plugged in the way I expected. I like the remote. Buttons are laid out nicely, very intuitive. Much better than the Sony remote I replaced with lots of confusing acronyms on the buttons. It has lots of inputs. This was a feature I searched quite a while for, to accommodate all the older gear I have. Still did not have all the inputs I wanted. There's no SVHS for my old VCR. No big loss. And not enough 2 channel audio inputs. Only one set on the back and one on the front. So I have to manually switch cables sometimes. Includes Ethernet and optical cables. This was a surprise since receivers usually don't come with cables. But it meant I bought extra cables. FM and AM reception worked surprisingly well with the included antennas. It was all but useless on my old Sony. Not too important since I don't listen to radio much.

Cons: I was hoping this device would take composite and component video signals and route them out the HDMI. It does not seem to do that. So I need 3 sets of cables to my projector: HDMI, Component, and Composite. Tried to use this with an HDMI to DVI adaptor connected to a DVI to HDMI cable to a projector that has HDMI input. Does not work. I'll have to buy another HDMI to HDMI cable. Can't find a way to connect my XBox. The component video out will plug in but the only ways to use sound with component video are optical or coaxial. The XBox has 2 channel stereo for the audio out. I was hoping for a mode where I could set the receiver to take video from one AV channel and audio from another but so far have not found a way to do that.

Overall Review: Got this for a good price. Much cheaper than the Sony I replaced. I wanted an option for Pandora but those receivers were all much more expensive. However this one does have Internet radio with a good selection of stations so I don't miss Pandora after all.

Ordered a USB flash drive and capacity is as advertised.

One of the few USB 3.0 hubs with this many ports that is truly USB 3.0. Bought others that were counterfeit. This one worked where others didn't.
