This was on back order when I placed my order about 5 months ago, so my particular unit is likely fresh from the factory. And it seems that Swissonic have addressed the issue of the noisy fan, that some reviews tell of. Mine is running completely dead silent...
It seems to be built like a tank, well it's rack after all, so quite expected. The fact that it's rack mountable is just great, and another selling point. The 16 USB ports on the front is more than enough for me, but great because I hate having to use more than one USB hub. So I'm set for the future, even if I decide to expand my setup significantly.
USB devices that carry USB noise on their audio line, will still be noisy when using the Swissonic Hub, but that's not Swissonics fault. Just to mention that it's not a "miracle maker" for those noisy USB devices, and some are particularly hard to "cure"...
The price is just right, well worth it in my opinion, and I don't think I'll ever have to get another USB hub. Where has this been all my life? Don't waste your time and money trying loads of cheaper, crappier hubs, this has everything you'll ever need, and at the right price.
Thanks Swissonic for a great unit, and thanks Thomann for your great service as usual!
