Powered USB Hub - 4-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub + 1 Smart Charging Port, Aluminum Splitter With 5V/3A Power Adapter, Individual On/Off Switches, 39-inch Detachable Extension Cord

My first impression was that it looked good, was lighter than I expected and felt like a high quality item. It arrived rapidly, was carefully packed and came complete with power supply (I have not tried the latter).When connected to my computer it performs just as I had hoped it would. Data is transferred immediately from my external hard drive while music CDs play without delay from an external optical drive, both connected through this hub.My expectations were fairly basic, but this piece of kit exceeds them: it does what I want it to do and it looks and feels like something I enjoy using.

I bought this to free up USB slots on my laptop - now I have my ethernet adapter, cooling pad and mouse running through one USB slot, with the added bonus of being able to charge my phone via SmartCharge above my desk.This device works with or without mains power, which is great if you need to take it with you somewhere, but I bought it specifically because I needed one with mains power so I didn't have to worry about reaching a USB port's maximum power output.I also bought a USB 3 B to C cable to replace the USB 3 B to A cable this device comes with, so I could run everything through USB C instead of A on my laptop - it would be great to see this as an option on the purchase page.All in all the build quality is excellent and under a heavy load the device stays strong. From what I gather the SmartCharge port is only for charging and cannot be used for data transfer, so it would be good to see this in future products if technology allows it, as I'll only be using the SmartCharge port once every couple of days whereas the others are in constant use.

Great product works well and a very fast service many thanks

What is there to say about it. Well constructed, and supplied with all the necessary cables to get you up and running in minutes. There never seem to be enough usb ports on your pc. If like me you have external hdd's, usb stcks, microsdxc card adaptors, printers etc it saves all the wear and tear on your pc ports as your not constantly plugging and un-plugging peripherals. It also solves the problem of not having enough power for your bits, e.g. Raspberry Pi. Now you can plug in your 2.5" hdd with no problems. Each port is individually switched so you can leave things plugged in but turned off until needed .I have also found that some usb sticks which won't work when plugged directly into the pc, do work when plugged in by this adaptor. So much for the vagaries of usb!!So I would recommend for most situations!!

Whilst not the cheapest available, this is a neat and well made powered USB3 Hub. It has individual on/off switches for each port but unlike most hubs the individual ports light up when switched on. It also benefits from a smart charging port for phones/tablets etc. This is differentiated by lightling up in red when switched on.No drivers to install, just plug in the USB via the cable provided, then plug into the power and away you go.If you are looking for a USB3 hub I'd certainly recommend this one.

Works well, not issues.

I needed a powered hub to connect an audio interface and midi keyboard to my iPhone using a camera connection kit as the phone was unable to provide enough power to these devices on it's own.This powered hub worked a treat and can even charge the phone with the dedicated charge port.I chose this unit due over others the supplied USB cable is a decent length and can be replaced in future if need be. Other units have a fixed cable which can't. Also the unit was reasonably priced.I was surprised at the quality of this product. It feels like a premium product, well built and classy looking with LED lights to indicate which ports are activated.I'm happy with this purchase and would not hesitate to recommend.

. and extremely fast with SATA 3 USB HDD adapter which I own (Not this brand tho - Ugreen, but great combination)PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS>> Thank you.Pictures are best.. The above are ALL connected from RED (Charger), SD/MicroSD card adapter, My re-chargable mouse, 64GB USB stick and last is USB sata adapter. They all work great and can be turned on and off when not needed.. Other photo's are the bits where able to unplug and show.. Pictures speak louder than words sometimes.. Trust me - when ALL lights on they are all plugged in and working.. Q/A - Disregard that.. I can help more if you have questions. 1 person asked - can you charge devices when laptop is turned off? answer was no.. That is wrong.. You don't have to have this connected to laptop to charge.. It's mains and each USB port will act as a charger. The RED one is only a smart charger. I have plugged in 2 phones and a tablet into the BLUE sockets without laptop connection and they charge as normal.. Any questions about this device then please ask me.. Will test with PS3 later as it was asked about PS4.. Will work with both if it works with one of them.. Remember - Just ask me (Sorry about 4th.. USB SD/MicroSD card adapter - MicroSD fitted. fine with adapter to SD into adapter -..image is upside down. sorry) - works OK with 6th image.(Just added). lol.. Tested with whatever I had at hand and worked fine with ALL.. Highly recommended..OH.. Windows Lumia 640 LTE connected to get these photo's to post here.. It just works..
