Difficult to know where to start in cataloguing what's wrong with this unit.
As a USB hub it lacks anything resembling reliability. Recognition of devices was intermittent. Two USB thumb drives failed to work in any of the ports. A third worked temporarily then disappeared from Windows despite the hub light indicating it was connected. Externally powered hard drives did not register at all.
My USB Wacom tablet worked, then didn't, then did, then didn't, you get the idea.
You're only allowed to plug in one device at a time. A USB mouse worked fine until I tried connecting another USB peripheral whereupon the unit failed to see anything plugged in. The same happened with a USB mouse and a CF card: I could have one or the other plugged in, not both simultaneously.
The card reader is little better. It refused to read several SD cards which work perfectly in other devices and readers. CF cards worked all of the time but the data card data throughput is the slowest of any reader I've had.
A second unit behaved in exactly the same way.
And if I was really nitpicking: the USB lead is far too short for connecting to a PC under the desk.
Avoid.
