USB 3.0 Hub, USB Data Hub, Metal Case Mountable 7-Port Powered USB Hub 3.0 with 36W AC Adapter-Type A

I was impressed with this the minute I opened the box. Built very solid. The large transformer is indicative of the power available for charging items - it charges faster than my old hub.It works perfectly.I have had other USB splitters that did not work right and did not last long. This one is definitely built to last !!

I usually write and read 1 star reviews. I know what I want and before making the purchase I need to know if there are limitations with the product that will prevent me from using it. This thing works where several other hubs were randomly throwing at me USB device not recognized errors or sneakily missing keypresses with a keyboard that used wireless USB adapter.

Sturdy design, comes with its own power supply, and works perfectly. Caveat: All my devices are USB 2 so I haven't tried USB 3.

(review of the 7-port powered USB 3.0 Hub)If you are using multiple USB hard drives on adjacent USB ports on your computer, and notice one drive going momentarily (or entirely) off-line when the other is plugged-in, you are experiencing the same issue I was before buying this USB hub. I have also experienced this same problem on other inexpensive powered USB hubs. This USB hub does not experience this problem.I have plugged-in 5 USB hard drives plus a universal chip programmer, and this USB hub happily handles all the devices without any issues. I couldn't find a 7th high-current device to try to load it further. This was all tested on Gentoo Linux, but since this is a hardware-specific concern, it should work great on Windows, MacOS, other Linux distros, FreeBSD, or any other OS.IMPORTANT NOTES: This is NOT for charging devices. It is for handling multiple full-power USB devices for data purposes. You could probably charge something with it, but it's going to be a slow charge. This is also a USB 3.0 (5 GB/sec) speed device, and not USB 3.1 (10 GB/sec). It handles 5 GB/sec devices with no problem, but do not expect USB 3.1 speeds (your faster device will likely work, but just be limited to the max speed of the hub).The only other caveats with this is that all the jacks are on the front of the hub (as another reviewer noted). This means that the jack for the external power brick (yes, a brick) plugs in on the same side of the USB hub, making it a little awkward for cable management. Likewise, the downstream USB cable to the computer is on the same side, and contributes to the arguably awkward access to the USB jacks. While this is a little bit awkward, I'd gladly accept this when considering all the positives. Also note that the hub comes with little mounting brackets, which allows it to be securely mounted to a desk with screws. It would be nice if it came with rubber feet to keep it from scratching a desk, but these are easily obtained.In short: a great little powered USB hub, does what it should do, sturdily-built (in a metal box), for a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with this one.

I have a computer on a stationary platform connected to various peripherals on my sit-to-stand desk. My long-standing requirement is to minimize the number of cables stretching between the platform and my desk, and to ensure that anything that's on my desk stays there during height adjustment. This USB hub replaces a clumsy solution that involved a hub sitting on top of my desk which was constantly falling off, tilting over, and generally being ugly with cable clutter.My basic requirements were USB 3.0, screw-mount, and at least 6 ports. Surprisingly few products matched this (although perhaps some products were screw-mountable, but didn't prominently advertise the fact).The new USB hub is screw-mounted to the bottom of my desk, with USB connectors pointed toward the back so that cables can come in from the desk rear. This was straightforward, and it's very sturdy. The hub has been functional and hasn't given me any problems. I've basically forgotten it exists since setting it up, which is a good thing.The one perhaps slightly surprising thing is that it has a power brick, not a wall wart. As neither cable coming out of the brick is that long, it means the brick ends up hanging off the ground (since it's plugged into my UPS, also on the stationary platform). But the brick isn't heavy, so this hasn't been a problem.

No compliant. Works as it should.

I set this up on top of my tower box 'cause it didn't have any USB ports on the front. I velcro'd it in place even with the front. I'm using this on a LINUX operation system and it works great. As soon as I plug a thumb drive in it; it shows on my system tray as available. I can plug external hard drives and there is no power problem. I"ve had 2 thumb drives and a USB SSD in this thing at once. All worked great. I like that a little blue light kicks on when you insert something. You know you have it all the way in.
