AI-generated summary
For £59.51 ex-VAT, the StarTech 7-port USB 3.0 hub is a sensible buy if you’ve got a small-ish office setup that needs a rugged, “doesn’t wobble” sort of hub. The metal enclosure is genuinely useful in the real world—less flex, easier to mount neatly, and it tends to survive the kind of daily plugging/unplugging that plastic housings don’t. If you’re expanding a laptop/desktop with peripherals (think webcams, dongles, keyboards/mice, USB storage) and want something that won’t look like a bargain-bin add-on, this fits that bill.
I’d only be cautious if you’re planning to power hungry devices from it (bigger external drives, multi-device charging, etc.). Bus-powered hubs can be hit-and-miss depending on the host and port power—so if your users are the “plug anything in” type, you may end up with disconnects or devices not being recognised consistently. Overall: good value for reliable low-to-medium power accessories and a tidy desktop/wall layout; not ideal if you need serious power delivery or you’re expecting it to behave flawlessly with every demanding USB device.
