7 ports Powered USB 3.0 Hub

Works a treat in win 11

Great little device. I opted for a powered hub because everything seems to be getting power hungry these days! Nace, weighty and robust item. No temptation to be flipped about by stiff leads etc. Nice individual switches if you have lights or fans connected (for example). Much better than low powered, lighter item I replaced. Glad I upgraded to something that doesn't want to dance about when I plug or unplug and I know will deliver for year to come. Heartily recommend.

It is an excellent piece of kit however I only awarded 4 stars as the base could do with being heavier to ensue stability.

.....only time will tell!

I have 3 of these around the house and workshop, tested with various USB devices and micro SD cards up to 1.5TB. I've had various USB hubs over the years and they're generally much of a muchness, but these are simple, effective and having switches on them means I don't have to pull a Chromecast out of my monitor to let my screen sleep or unplug drives to isolate them from a media server. Having a power brick attached has helped here as although the drives worked when direct connected to the server, they weren't recognised going through an unpowered hub. The units are lightweight but feel well built - the only thing I could possibly fault them for is that being lightweight, they'll easily move about. That's what double sided tape or sticky pads are for :)

Pros: 1) The design is pretty good with all the 7 ports lined up after each other with the switch right next to them. 2 )The only writing this has is the brand and the model. 3) The power adaptor has a nice long cable which can easily reach from under a table. It is also a DC adaptor so it can be replaceable. 4) The LED indicators are nice to have as it shows if the USB port is on or off. 5) The switches are nice and springy you can easily tell if you have it on or off, even without the LED. 6) The addition of the wall mounting hole is nice to have as well since it gives you the option to mount it against the wall with a nail through the hole. 7) The cable is not too long or too short. It is the right length but it will not easily reach a PC under the table. Cons: 1) The switches are kind of awkward to turn on/off as they are very narrow and you have to bend your finger to reach them well. Other than the minor con, I would recommend this to people who have a lot of USB peripherals and is a usual worker with USB's.

It always felt flimsy build but to be honest it seemed good value given it's powered and plenty of ports. I have only deployed two ports a few times in the 3 months I have had it. And the plugs stayed in (no out and in). Had worked fine with new focusrite interface but suddenly the focusrite is not recognised (or my second interface). No other changes made to the setup. Tried the obvious things and checked direct usb connection was fine. I know there is a good argument for keeping the interface direct but for everyday convenience (and individual switching) this really should be working. Rebooting the computer seems to wake it up but I can't do that every time on the whim of the hub. I have returned under warranty and will spend more on a very quality replacement.

Not very sturdy and worried switching won’t last. Seems to not like some usb devices that work perfectly ok when plugged directly into pc, but not recognised when plugged in via the hub
