USB 3.0 Hub With Power Switches

Did not provide sufficient- overloaded with 3 solid state devices. Disappointed because I relied on an otherwise usually accurate reviewer.

Great device, buttons work well when switching between headsets. Build quality and power output is as listed.

So far so good, had it less than a month or so with no issues.

The buttons are much better than on some other hubs.

Added this to my Mac Pro with a PCI-e USB3 card and got all my high speeds back for my card readers and external drives. More ports than I currently need, but having them handy on top of my desk makes life easier.

Having 3 good charging ports is a real plus. No problem with the 7 USB hub ports. Works fine. I have used this brand for years and needed another hub for my laptop.

So far, I'm pretty impressed. I was always under the assumption USB hubs would easily crap themselves if I plugged in "gaming" peripherals.There's no stutter or delay. Everything feels the exact same. Here's what I have plugged in.Razer Huntsman Elite Keyboard (2 USB)Razer Basilisk V2 Mouse (1 USB)Yeti X Mic (1 USB)Logitech G560 Speakers with Subwoofer (1 USB)Really really impressed so far.The set-up in the picture is only temporary. I will be mounting it under my desk.I'll make sure to update at least once a month on this product.

This review is for the 7+3 port Sabrent hub.From my testing, this hub does not degrade write speeds. I tested by copying a 4 GB file from a non-OS SSD to a freshly formatted Samsung 128GB Fit Plus flash drive. I copied the file twice for each Sabrent data port into different files on the Fit. I did the same for 3 of my USB 3.0 ports off my ASUS motherboard. The results for the 20 copies over the 10 ports came in a range of 64-66 MB/s which is a good real-world value for the Fit (the Fit is not an Extreme-speed drive). I typically write to devices and do not read them on my workstation so I did not test read speeds.Connectivity to three Garmin USB 2.0 GPS devices was painless as was connecting and transferring to/from our Samsung Galaxy phones.Not having a wall-wart transformer was another plus.

I've had two of these and as long as the humidity is below 88% or so, your good. When the humidity goes too high I get errors and have to shut down. I use them outside to connect my AstroPhotography mount, cameras, filter wheel, auto focuser ... to my Laptop Computer. I've ordered a non-powered usb hub, will see how that goes !!

I have not put this through any rigorous testing, but the general use of a couple of the usbs consistently has shown that it is fairly durable and can handle most computing accessory needs.

This definitely gets the job done, but not perfectly. The switches seem entirely superfluous IMO, and I was never able to get my USB DVD drive to connect properly via any of the ports. So OK, I plug that in directly. Not a huge deal.Clearer documentation on exactly what each port does and does not support would be beneficial.

Amazing item for dorm decor, so many things need USB ports like curtain light, microphone, ring light.

Still works after 3.5 years.

TL:DR - just buy it!Pros:-buttons next to each USB port to turn each one on/off individually - saves power!-LED indicators show which devices are "on" - no more guessing!-3 additional ports for charging only - charges fast!Cons:It comes with a brick type cord. Made it more difficult to organize the cords under my desk, but that's just my own cable management issue

It's great. Now I've easily accessible USB ports, including charging ports, on my desktop. I can charge my watch, phone, and tablet and have my webcam, headset, and stereo speakers plugged in all within arm's reach. Bonus is that it's easy cable management, no more wall chargers and USBs around the room. -- It was a Very Good Buy, and I recommend it.

This is the second usb hub and fourth product I've bought from Sabrent. I had their 4 port powered usb hub originally but needed more ports for my growing collection of usb cables/products. I would never recommend getting a non-powered usb hub unless you are using it for travelling and just need a few ports. My laptop doesn't go anywhere and is my only computer. It is plugged into one of the two high speed usb 3 ports (other is used for my WiFi 5 adapter).I have 6 out of the 7 data usb ports being used by: external HDD x2, Mouse (when wired), game controller, and Headphones x2 (for when wireless and for when wired). The wired Headphone usb cable also is used for my cell phone and charging different products I own (mp3 player, portable speaker and Skullcandy earbuds). I have my laptop stand's fan controller plugged into 1 of the 3 non-data/power only ports.I can't recommend this enough if you are like me and need lots of extra ports. And you can't beat Sabrent's prices compared to other companies.

Bought this product mainly for the the 3 charging ports to charge multiple devices at the same time had no issues with the product and the other ports work fine for usb stuff that I need works as described.

So far it does what it should, no complaints, i am satisfied

Works very well, and small enough to tuck out of the way on my desk. I use this to make my laptop easier to unplug from all my peripherals when taking it somewhere (just unplug the hub instead of the five things plugged into it). I like the additional charging ports, as well.

Liked the lights to display active ports.

No dislikes as yet. I am using it to extend my usb capability

Nice enclosure for my existing hard drive that I have turned into an external hard drive. Protective cover for enclosure will make it much more difficult to be damaged. Quality and value!

Bought several and only one didn't come with screws to fasten front of enclosure. They work great and with a little quality control can be even better, I will continue to purchase.

Thanks!

The metal case feels sturdy, yet cheap, with the rubber cover looks and feels safe, without it not so much. Buy it with the rubber cover its a must.

The metal casing helps with heat and the USB3.0 is more sturdy than most name brands -it's also a USB 3.0 that doesn't have the proprietary indent like Seagate cables do , so it can be used on anything.

I honestly for the life of me, cannot understand the bad reviews for this product. It does what it says as advertised, installation was literally under 30 seconds with the included screws and tool, attached to my iMac and was recognized immediately, transfer speeds are lightning fast, like instant and looks good, and all this for an external enclosure for under $10.If I had any complaints it would be that I would have preferred that the blue LED (activity light) was on the front instead of the back. Other than that it is flawless. Of course I dont know how it will holdup or perform in the future, but cant see any problems with this product.It was used for a 500GB Crucial 2.5 SSD drive which was replaced in another computer. Good purchase!

i was actually surprised of the quality for $10. Usually you get a garbage usb cable. this one is thick and seems to be heavy duty. they include everything you need to get up and running. also a little carrying case. i just wishing the drive inside was a little tighter of a fit. my OCZ vector 180 960gb SSD seems like it flops around inside if i was to move it around a lot i would be worried about it disconnecting inside. i mainly got it for a windows to go setup so it stays stationary most of the time. also the speed for this setup is a lot faster than trying to use my 3.0 USB thumb drive.

A screw was missing and two of the holes are not properly threaded. Recommend going with a different product.The adapter works but with multiple improperly threaded screw holes, I can't recommend this as anything but a fragile adapter.

I have bought HDD enclosures before in the past, and they were not like this where they constantly stay connected. With this enclosure with the USB 3.0 connector is uses, it stays connected, and it never drops out like the other ones that have that old school Micro B USB female connector that just keeps on dropping in and out. Now I need to find me one like this that is designed for 3.5 inch HDD's, because the stock enclosures have that Micro B USB female connector that has connection problems. This type of 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure is good for active computer users especially ones that move things around, and also want things to stay firmly connected at all times without in dropping in and out connections. This is great for travelling when moving and walking around with a HDD for portable devices, and other activities for work and home use.

I've bought a few of these to hold older HDs from laptops that were discarded. This is the perfect holder for old HDs (or even new ones). The small size and protection allow it to be used for Backups, Photos or other items.
