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

After having this for a number of months its safe to save this product was a mistake to buy. I can only safely use about half the ports at once and when hitting 10 its starts disconnecting the newest usb. I have tried different ports and different devices but it just cant handle it EDIT: After contacting support I was able to get a replacement and the new one works great even with all ports being used at once!

This replaces three USB hubs daisy-chained together for me. With four hard drives, two printers, Ethernet, keyboard, mouse, and cables for iPad, sports devices, cameras, music devices and more hooked up, I needed More Ports. I dont know about reliability (these things seem to last about five years), but the build quality seems pretty good. The port switches are useful for those times when you might need to reset something by unplugging it and plugging it back in again. It cleaned up my desktop clutter a lot.

this is a well made piece of hardware worked fine with my mac havent tried pc yet it did ask me to encrypt the data on my first time plugging it in so i just ejected the externals and started over and the message went away

I had a similar USB hub from another manufacturer that I used for about 5 years before it died. When it died I looked for an identical unit but it was no longer available so after reading a bunch of reviews I purchased this unit. This unit is sleeker than my old one and I really like having an on/off switch for every port so I can disconnect something without having to physically unplug it from the hub. From a feature standpoint, I really love the looks and functionality of this hub. My only problem is that I plugged a device into one of the ports on this hub and made sure the power was on to that port but my computer did not recognize the device. It is a device I have used with my computer for years so I toggled the switch on the port a couple of times but still no luck, the computer would not recognize the device. Then I moved the device to an adjacent port on the hub and everything was fine. After a little more testing, it appears I have 2 dead ports on my hub. Because I never anticipate needing all 16 ports at once, I just put some electrical tape over the 2 dead ports and I now have a 14 port hub that works fine. Because it meets my needs I did not bother contacting customer support to try to exchange the unit.

**UPDATE** I can now comment on longevity: After 2 years one bank of led lights went out. At around 2.5 years I started experiencing devices occasionally going offline and needing to be unplugged and plugged back in to operate normally again. At 3 years devices started constantly cutting out, so I finally replaced it. So it worked fine for about 2 years and slowly failed over another year before becoming unusable. I would have preferred to get more time out of it before trashing it, so lowered my review from 5 stars to 3 stars. **ORIGINAL REVIEW** Only owned it a few weeks, so cant comment on longevity, but I really like the functionality. First off, I bought the one with 16 ports, and I have them all filled. Prior to this I had to use multiple hubs and was still short a few. Id had some issues with my keyboard being plugging into other hubs, but not this one. All devices have worked fine. I wanted one with buttons on the left side. It just works better for my setup. My old 7 port hub with buttons had them on the right and it was harder see and reach them where I have it situated at the rear of my desk. Where you will place the hub may help you decide if you want left or right buttons. The lights are not bright, but viewable when I stand up to change the buttons. Better than no lights, though guess it would be nice if you could more easily see which buttons were up and which were down. Yet so far, not a big enough issue in my day to day use to mark it down. I have hubs that are all metal and heavier. While those feel better, this one is functioning better yet so far, so Im good with it. It stays in place and stays flat even without the extra weight.

Overall this is a great item, there’s a few pros and cons though Pros: Lots of plugs if you choose to use this just as a charger Seem less and easy connectivity to computer USB inputs Easy on and off button for each port. Cons: With my laptop only have 2 USB ports and I have many USB midi devices for music production I though this would be my ability to not have be swapping plugs but was disappointed. USB 1 has limited connectivity seem like I can only have 5-6 of the 10 ports in use. USB 2.1 has a 8 mort limit. Which may need to be listed in the description.

I loved this for a year and slowly the ports all started to die. Bought in September 2020 and now need a new one. Wont be getting this one..

Love the USB ports and the light indicators. However, it DOES NOT WORK with one of the most important peripheral, USB dongle for the Keyboard!! I plugged in the Logitech (MK345) USB dongle and the computer was able to capture Some of the keys I typed.. When I plugged the dongle directly into the computer, it works fine... so frustrated!!! Buyers be aware

I purchased this as a replacement for a different USB Hub I had purchased. I was intrigued by the individual power buttons next to each slot. Truth be told, that functionality hasnt really done much for me as I dont normally leave flash drives in there which I use now but turn off when done. That being said the construction of the Hub is very sturdy and I was impressed by the transfer speeds. That was one of my other concerns is that I am transferring data many times and wanted easy access to a Hub as the USB ports on my PC are not as easy to get access to. It lived up to my desires. I can transfer speeds as expected depending on the device. To be fair I do have it plugged into a USB 3.1 2nd Gen port. So I have given it a best chance of success. My only complaint would be that the power led next to the port is not visible from a low angle. You have to be almost on top of the hub in order to see it. It would have been nice in my opinion if it protruded a bit from the device so it would be easier to see. All in all I am glad I purchased this and would recommend to anyone looking for a USB Hub.
