Powered USB Hub [Durable Aluminum] USB Hub 3.0 Powered, Individual Switch Buttons Smart Charging USB Port Expander Fit for External Hard Drive Electronics Gaming Laptop Desktop PC

I really quite like this USB hub. The ability to switch each port on or off individually is great for things like external hard drives that don’t need to be on all the time.

We got this for the tangled mess of peripherals that we deal with. It is wonderful. Not only is it super fast (five times faster than a 2.0), but it also has a switch and a light for each port. We can turn each unit on and off. No more hassles.

Its a great device..I have a cleaner table to look at now ..because of multiple ports on this i dont have to run the long wires. Its a good purchase.

Not plastic case（Aluminum shell ）Tiny case and 4 ports enough for me. 3.0 USB ports Which is charge so fast. I charged iPhone from 56% to 100% only takes 20 mins! Nothing complain! Good product

Heavy enough so it doesn’t move around the desk much. 4 USB ports, enough for my devices for productivity. Last charging port is great for a quick charge! Buttons don’t feel cheap. Well made and every single button works perfectly to turn on and off.

I bought this for my PlayStation 4 as the unpowered USB hub I have suddenly seemed to be causing my Sony Gold headset to drop the mic (randomly setting it to Input: None) infuriatingly frequently. I had this set up for a while, and it worked fine, but then suddenly caused any bluetooth headset to drop mic or the connection entirely at what seemed to be entirely random intervals. The only way to fix this was to reconnect through the main settings menu, which was really not very feasible in the middle of a battle, sometimes several times a minute. I am really, really, really hoping this fixes that issues with a little power to even out the connection or what have you. I really like this little hub, it looks sleek, it has some substance, and feels well made. It sits nicer than my other bare bones hub, and the way the ports are lined up fit various dongles and other USB cords and devices a lot easier/neater than long ways. Ive never had one this fancy before, but I really like the on/off buttons as well, as I have an additional USB dongle for another headset I want to keep plugged in but off unless needed so that it doesnt interfere with my other headset/peripherals, without having to fuss or worry with removing it frequently. The ports also light up when on, which is a very nice feature. The power cord is *just* long enough to reach my outlet strip, and the USB cord connected to the PS4 is nice and thick, and a little too long for my purposes as I keep it right next to the PS4, but the length is probably perfect for most applications. Its easy enough to wrap and tuck away so that the hub is more or less freestanding and looks nice. So far I am using three of the ports, two regular ones for the two headset dongles and the one quick charge port for the controller. Im not sure if it really needs the QC port, but its the only thing that needs a charge so I used it. I havent tried the external hard drive in it. Usually the PS4 demands that the external HD be connected directly to the system, so I have that in the left USB port, and the hub in the right one. If it wasnt for the HD, I would not need the hub, but hopefully this is a good work around. This hub can be used powered or not, though some USB devices need that little extra juice to boost the transfer rate or other such issues. I would assume you would need the power supply if you intend on fully using the fast charging port as well, and possibly to charge anything through the hub (I believe you can normal charge with the other ports, but dont quote me on that!) Either way, one port for charging is perfect for my needs at this time, so I dont/wont notice if the others can charge at all or not. I have not tried this with a computer, but I assume with the data transfer USB cord that it would work very well. You may need more QC charging ports if you have it hooked up to a computer, but I know a lot of external HDs need a little extra juice to keep a good transfer connection, so the powered option would be great for that. I turned my headset on last night after connecting the hub, and it seemed to keep the mic connection all night. Granted, I was not using the mic and just had YouTube on, so there was no real tax on the system, and once a more heavily network draining game is in play it might cause the same issues as before. I will really get to test out the connection issue tomorrow night in my game where the mic is really used heavily, and will come back to report whether or not it fixed my headset issues with the PS4. So far this hub is perfect otherwise, and I really hope it can be 100% successful for what I need it to do.

I needed extra USB ports for my mini computer, so I purchased this since it was sponsored by Amazon. It is high quality material and very durable. The only misleading thing is the front port is a charging port, not for USB connection to the desktop or monitor.

Small and compact. Works both as a straight usb charger and as a hub. As a person who travels, this saves me on having to carry extra items. Being able to turn on/off usb ports also allows me to turn off charging cables that use magnets like my aftershokz head set, and prevents them from shorting the charger when it accidentally sticks to something. Aluminum case is also nice as it makes it sturdy for travel as well.

This is USB HUB is compact and rugged, perfect for your night stand where now a days we have tons of devices to charge at night, or for charging your gaming devices. Also it comes with a USB interface cable so if you need to add USB ports to your computer this will work perfectly and since is USB 3.0 its throughput is great for data transfers.

Was looking for a powered usb hub to reduce the power bricks i have. This hub is a good lil space saver. It works great for charging and transfering data across storage devices. I would recommend if you are in the market for one.
