Discussion
The product box says USB 3.0, but the actual product is 2.0.
It arrived without a computer connection cable, so I processed a return.
It fulfills its purpose.
It works properly, but the price ended up not being worth it because I found it at a lower price, but it's okay.
Works very well, I recommend it.
