THERMALTAKE H200 INTERNAL USB HUB, REVIEW AND UNBOXING

Every day we find more intelligent components that use, to transfer data to the rest of the equipment, a USB connection to the motherboard. We find examples of this type in RGB fans, power supplies, RGB lighting, liquid refrigeration .... Obviously this is very good as they add new functionalities, aesthetics or practices, to components that lacked them.

For this reason Thermaltake has released the Thermaltake H200 internal USB hub , to provide the PC with up to six internal USB 2.0 ports.
