USB Hub 3.0 Powered, 7 Ports USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port and 5V/4A Powered Adapter and ON/Off Switches for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini, iMac, Surface Pro Laptop/PC

I needed a hub with more ports and this works great. It's just what I needed! I also like that each port has a power button so you can turn something on or off individually. Very please with it!

Fast and easy

There's not much you can say about a USB hub. It works. The point of buying a USB hub is that you have more USB device that you want to plug in than there are ports on your computer. You plug it into the computer and you plug USB device into it and they work. It takes a few seconds to recognize my trackball, I have no idea why but it's no big deal, just keep moving it until the cursor starts to move.Note this is a powered USB hub. That is, you plug it in and then all devices you plug in to the hub get full power. With an unpowered hub, they only get 5 volts total. I think usually the hub divides this evenly among the devices, which may or may not give enough power for everything you plug in. Definitely not enough if you expect to charge something off the hub. I regularly plug my kindle into this hub to charge it, and I've charged headphones and microphones off it.This hub also has the cute feature that you can turn individual ports on and off with a button. I have an external disk drive that I regularly leave turned off because most of the time I don't use it. Maybe that saves a little wear and tear. Maybe it's not enough to make a difference. Saves a little electricity, I'd have to look up the power draw, but I'm sure it's pennies a month.

Great agronomical design. The speed of the hub is within spec for USB 3.0. The USB port ON/OFF button design is highly useful only if the device connected to it is configured for quick removal policy rather than write-caching policy, otherwise data will not be written to the thumb or external drive before you turn off the port the device is connected to, corrupting storage data. Someone needs to design a hub where pressing the ON/OFF USB hub's port button starts Windows 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' operation before the USB hub turns the port OFF. Wouldn't that be a great USB hub!My only as-per-design complaint with this hub is that the blue port light of an active port "bleeds" through adjacent inactive port LEDs. I find it hard to discern whether or not the adjacent ports are ON or not. In my photo, the fourth and seventh LED ports from the left are active and all other ports are inactive (OFF). The third, fifth and sixth ports appear somewhat lit up (ON?) although they are OFF. The design should have included solid internal light obstructors on each side of the port LED lights to prevent this active port light bleed-over. Confusing design issue.

Good DC power Supply for external HDDs. Worked perfect. Only drawback is missing USB-C connection.

Works really well. Got this to expand slots for everything USB. The extra charger slot is very useful for phone, watch, etc.

I almost had buyers remorse on this on two accounts:1. I saw a quite similar looking thing on amazon yesterday after I'd already ordered this for about half the price.2. When I tried it out, I wasn't able to figure out how to use the little power buttons. I pushed them and nothing happened. I thought it was defective and/or very poor quality. Super irritated.But then I took a closer look and watched a YouTube review on this product. Turns out - to turn power OFF a usb port, you need to hold the power button for a moment - not just push it and let go. To turn power back on you don't need to hold it - pushing the button on a deactivated switch will turn it's port on immediately. This design is really sensible because it gives you a much greater assurance that you will not accidently deactivate the wrong port - which could be pretty problematic if you were in the the middle of a dependent data write operation or video stream etc. I was delighted to figure this out and love the fact that I am only powering the ports that I am actually using. Great design there.Secondly - I started to pay attention to the charging port on the end. Because of it's different coloring and unique placement, it's hard to mistake it for a data port. That's a helpful design element right there. And when I think about it - it is really helpful to have a port that only provides power and doesn't transfer data. I've often wanted to power a device that I didn't want to start talking to my computer at that time - charging my phone or my dictaphone are examples. Now I don't need to be concerned with it - there is a dedicated port just for power, should I need it. Brilliant. I also like the way this thing looks on my desk. Turned out to be a really tidy little thing, and a great compliment to my Beelink mini-pc and I am not worried about the price. I've 'gotten what I've paid' for enough times to suppose that for one reason or another, I'm likely not to like the cheaper ones as much.

Great Hub, The off on feature is really nice

work great
