1.0 out of 5 stars Issue (Almost) Resolved
By Al on January 31, 2017
I liked this hub and it worked for just over a year, then it just stopped working. I thought at first it was a power supply failure, and, since my needs had changed, I just stopped using it. Last week I decided to do a little troubleshooting and determined that the power supply was working correctly, able to deliver correct voltage and current. I opened the case and removed the circuit board and discovered a short circuit somewhere on the supply bus. But the biggest surprise to me was the extremely poor solder connections. There are numerous "cold" solder joints and most others look to be just barely tacked in place. I am very disappointed in the build quality of this unit and doubt I will ever purchase another device of any kind from this company. There is no excuse for this poor quality and it should have been inspected before ever being released from the factory.

UPDATE:
Very soon after posting the above review, I was contacted by Plugable's Customer Service. They were apologetic and quickly replaced the product with an updated model. After using it for a while, I am generally satisfied with the replacement with one exception. The replacement u it is in a black, glossy case and does not have a power switch. The lack of a switch i not an issue for me, but I originally purchased this unit over all the competing units because of the brushed aluminum housing that matched my Apple wireless keyboard and MAC Mini and the top placement of the input cables. The replacement unit has the USB connectors on the front panel, forcing me to use more than double the amount of desk space for the very messy clutter of cables that cannot be hidden from view. With the original unit, all cables ran up from behind and made the whole setup easy to access when changing cables and very neat and orderly,

I would give the new unit good marks, but I would have never purchased it in the first place because of the unattractive glossy black color and the worst possible arrangement of input connectors for my intended use of this product. I will be replacing it very soon and this unit will soon be joining my junk box.
