Lindy USB 3.0 Hub

The first thing that struck about this product was its complete light-weightness. It appears to be made out of nothing but light, poor quality plastic and lacks and kind of strong durability. This was compounded by a friend's recent purchase of a similar product, which was of a considerably higher quality in this regard. In terms of its use, it more or less fulfils its duties as a USB hub. However, I have found that it simply will not work with a USB midi keyboard that I have. This is not a huge deal as I am able to connect the keyboard through my other USB port, but it is at the same time a bit of a disappointment. Perhaps it is a case of getting what you pay for, but I definitely pay more for better quality than this in the future.

I bought this because I need a USB multi port as my laptop only has two USB connections. I was attracted to this because it was cheap and has three USB ports, allowing me to connect a bunch of external devices with ease. The product features 3.0 transfer speed which is great because I'm often using external hard drives that need to store large files for projects on software like Logic Pro X and others, and this really helps speed up the process a little bit. I have yet to use all three ports simultaneously because I haven't had the need to yet, so I can't comment on its performance in that situation.
The piece is in a small plastic box which makes me slighty doubt the durability of it, but then again it's a cheaper product and not much can be expected in terms of construction.
However, the Lindy USB 3.0 Hub is generally a good little product that can be used for a bunch of purposes and it doesn't take up much space at all. I'd recommend this for people who would use a few external USB devices at once and also on a budget. If this broke for whatever reason, I would probably buy it again for the price, size and also usability.
