There are many times when we need USB ports for daily office work. It is true that today's desktops generally have 4-6 or more USB ports, but these USB ports are often on the back of the chassis, which is somewhat inconvenient to use. For notebook users, the USB port is even more stretched. The only USB port may have been occupied by your additional mouse and keyboard. At this time, the hub is particularly important. Convenient to use, the hub with high color value is placed on the desktop to make us more comfortable. When using mobile phones to synchronize data, we often worry about the lack of space for mobile phones and the chaos of data lines. A hub can solve all these problems, so the author's expectations for such products are high.

ORICO SHC-U3 4-port USB3.0 hub with bracket function is packed in one of the two types of packaging commonly used for ORICO series products. The green kraft paper packaging coat is marked with white products and introduced in English. On the back is some basic information about the product and the manufacturer and the certification passed. Many certification marks feed back the product quality information from another aspect.

Hub products are mostly designed in an integrated way. SHC-U3 is designed by separating the data line from the host, making it more flexible and convenient to use.

The product provides a relatively simple user manual. In fact, everyone is familiar with hub products, and it is estimated that very few people will use such products according to the manual.

In terms of data line, the design of male head at both ends is adopted. It can be seen from the color classification that this is the data line used for USB 3.0.

The overall design of the hub is black, with the LOGO information of the product printed on the front, four USB3.0 interfaces on the top, and a blue LED status indicator on the upper right corner of the interface.

Compared with the square design of the general hub, SHC-U3 adopts the triangle design, and the side corners adopt the sleek streamline design, so there is no hand cutting phenomenon.

The side is the USB input interface of the product, which is also the standard design of USB 3.0. It provides guarantee for high-speed operation of the hub.

The bottom design of the hub is simple, and there are no other redundant parts except the design of two anti-skid belts.

On the back side of the hub is a distinctive small baffle design, which can easily place mobile phones, pads, etc. here, which is simple and saves more space.

The spacing between SHC-U3 USB interfaces is very reasonable. No matter it is a USB stick, a card reader or a data cable that occupies a little space, it can be easily put down.

If you need to synchronize the phone data, the hub is more convenient to use. You can place the phone on the side baffle of the hub to save space and avoid data cable clutter.

At the same time, it can also be used as a bracket for taking photos of mobile phones. When we want to take photos of our beloved machines, we can take photos after placing them. Because the bottom cover is very small, we can fully display the mobile phones. From the side, the mobile phone will not affect the reading of other USB storage devices at all, and it is very good no matter which side is used as the front.

In order to experience the interface speed of SHC-U3, the author used Sandisk 32GB USB3.0U disk for testing. The test was conducted through HDtune Professional Edition and ATTO test software respectively when the computer interface was USB2.0. The measured speed was equivalent to the maximum speed of USB2.0 interface. At the same time, ATTO is used to test the transmission speed when the computer interface is USB3.0. The transmission speed can reach a fast reading speed of more than 100MB/s and a writing speed of more than 50MB/s. Of course, this has something to do with the interface of the computer itself, the interface of the USB flash disk and other factors, but the speed of the SHC-U3 hub is still very satisfactory to the author.
