• TheUSB3.0hubisdownwardlycompatibletoUSB2.0andUSB1.1.Thismeansthat
normal USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices can be operated from the USB 3.0 hub without
diculty;however,yourUSB2.0/USB1.1deviceswillnotoperateanyfaster.
• InordertotakeadvantageofthehighspeedoftheUSB3.0,alldevicesmustsupport
the USB 3.0 interface: The USB device itself (e.g. an external hard disk), the USB
HubandtheUSBcontrollerinthecomputer.
• ThetheoreticalmaximumspeedofUSB3.0(orUSB2.0orUSB1.1)cannotbere-
ached during real operation. Reasons for that can be protocol information, the si-
multaneous operation of several USB devices or speed limitations of the connected
USBdeviceorUSBcontroller/mainboard.
It makes little sense to operate 7 hard disks via the USB 3.0 hub simultaneously, as
the hard disks share the maximum possible data transfer volume between the USB
hub and your computer.
If you wish to transfer a great deal of data, for instance, between two USB 3.0 hard
disks, first connect one hard disk to the USB 3.0 hub and connect the second hard
disk directly to a USB 3.0 port on your computer.

operation.DependingonthecomputerorBIOS/setupsettings,theuseofaUSBkey-
board or USB mouse is still possible. This, however, might require the USB keyboard
or mouse to be connected to the USB interfaces of the computer directly rather than
to the USB hub itself.

 WhendisconnectingaUSBdeviceduringanactivedatatransfer(e.g.whentrans-
ferring data from an external disk to the computer), the operating system might col-
lapse. It could furthermore cause data loss or even damage to the file system on the
external drive.

when certain USB devices (e.g. USB hard disk) are connected. This functions allows
you to „remove“ the USB device from your computer to stop data transfer. You can
then remove the USB device safely from the USB hub (or computer).
