Powered USB Hub - ACASIS 16 Ports 90W USB 3.0 Data Port, Individual On/Off Switches, 12V/7.5A Power Adapter, 5Gbps High Speed, USB 3.0 Hub for Laptop, PC, Computer, Mobile HDD, Flash Drive

I bearly use my PC. So, it shouldnt have died so fast. It was great while it lasted.

I thought I was doing a little overkill. But I am now using 14 of the 16 slots. I keep my USBs in it also but leave the power off so they are instantly available without looking when I want them. Its amazing how many things I have that I didnt originally think of, such as the new lights for videos and the new camera. Works perfectly. Love the on/off buttons.

Pretty amazing. This power supply will turn this into a 16-device charger with no problem! I use this for charging my VR trackers and to host all the USB receiver dongles. Brilliant!

What can I say, ran the hub for about four hours. Seven active devices and three (ports 1-7), three inactive (port 8-10). Devices on ports 2 and 3 became unrecognized, this happened three times over about an hour. Then noticed every time the system went to sleep the whole hub reset, every time. Put my old hub back and have had no drive failures, same drives in same port location except the inactive drives (only a seven port hub). Personally the reset on restart is very annoying as all the windows pop up, and the dead port issue is entirely unacceptable, it does seem well made though.

For what its worth, when it did work, it was amazing. Now though? Im down about 5 ports and I feel like for how much I spent, it probably should have lasted a bit longer. Like, maybe in another year, I would have been ok with a couple ports failing because then it would have felt like I got my moneys worth. But Im down 5 and it hasnt even been a full two years since I bought this usb hub. :/

the tl;dr is: Read the review by Wait, commenting on how this device appears in Windows 10 (N number of USB hubs, 4 ports each) and thats exactly how it looks. Great quality product, but ports beyond 8 YMMV. Review: I struggled for a long time with USB device management on my laptop + USB MIDI gear (controllers, IK Uno, Streichfett), and inconsistent device allocation which would make MIDI mapping via devices in Ableton Live! (10 at the time) a chore. However, a newer laptop (XPS 2019 model) and this hub (purchased in 2020) solved 99% of my problems. The remaining gotchya is this: If you prioritize your gear to be on the LOWER # of ports (1-8 works for me), youll seem to get consistent performance (never any hiccups, latency, or disconnects of gear in the middle of your music session). If you plug anything into the higher ports, you may encounter the same things I do: Gear will randomly stop working and only work once youve fully disconnected and reconnected the USB cable at the hub (not the device!) - it may work awhile longer, but then have the same issue later. This problem is WORSE if you run the hub off of something like a usb c PD hub/dock. Directly connect it to an available 3.0+ port. So while 10+ ports is nice, you shouldnt put any flash drives, hard drives, or gear that needs to be constantly connected for hours at a time (MIDI gear/instruments etc).. which doesnt leave a lot of options for ports 9-16 on my unit. I still use it because its the best option for me, but I think Im going to try using two 8 port USB hubs, 1 connected to each of the available USB ports on my XPS laptop. I hope that resolves 100% of my connectivity issues, but Im skeptical.

Build quality is fine. Its annoying that if the devices are properly ejected, and the hub is disconnected from the computer, then reconnected, none of the devices will reconnect unless the hub is power-cycled. Every time. Also, some devices wont work through the hub, in specific, my webcam. I was trying for a primium, professional-grade hub. This is not it. Update: Failure after just over 1 year. Devices no longer connect at all, one port light is always out, and the hub has become useless. There must be something better!

This is excellent hub with plenty of power. I love the indicator lights and on/off switches. One of the main features I love on this unit is the orientation - plug in from the top. This way the blasted thing does not slide across the desk having to always use two hands to plug in cables!

This works well for all the gadgets we have connecting to it. It was a bit on the pricey side, I thought, but decided to give it a go anyway as it was not ideal to keep having to unplug and switch around my accessories every time I use them. After installing all my gadgets/accessories on it, I was glad that I bought it. The design is simple but looks sturdy. I like that there are individual switches per port, so that my external HDDs that I dont always use dont need to be running all the time. All in all a good buy -- and worth the money!

This thing is straight up amazing. I had so many issues with my peripherals, even the ones that were plugged in directly to my motherboard. I will never go without using one of these again. At first, I tried using one without its own dedicated power source, but the results were less than ideal and not much better than it was before. I almost gave up until I considered a USB hub with its own power source. I was still skeptical that everything would work the way I wanted it to, but I was pleasantly surprised and so glad that I paid the extra money for this high quality one. The build quality and material is great and it feels solid, it does not feel cheap at all and I can tell it will last me a long time. What Ive been able to do with cable management now because of this Godsend is so amazing and I couldnt be happier with my setup. I have my headphones + charger, keyboard with two USB cables, my wireless mouse, my wireless phone charger and in RGB keyboard mat all hooked up to this bad boy and I have ports to spare!! If you are afraid to spend this kind of money on a USB hub and hesitant that it wont suit your needs, then rest assured, because youll be asking yourself how you lived without it!
