The product was a very good purchase as it allowed all the peripherals to be used while keeping the Laptop ports available for use

given how many peripherals (mouse, external drives, cooling pad, USB Microphone, LED Lighting rig, USB keys) I need semi-permanent access to with my laptop, adding two of these was a no brainer, particularly as this is USB3.1 and features a USB C port in addition to the 6 USB Type A ports. It works and has worked consistently.

but writing a review when you've had the product only a week or two seems pointless. Will it still be working in 5 years' time. Anyway, Targus is a good brand name so I am expecting it to last the rest of my life and I know if I buy anything from PB Tech I get a good deal.
