vantisan USB Hub 3.0 Powered, 7 Ports USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port and 5V/4A Powered Adapter and ON/Off Switches for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini, iMac, Surface Pro Laptop/PC

This works fine as a usb hub, but only as a usb hub. It has a smart charger in the front worked a little over 3 months and now its not charging anything anymore. I verified the charger on the hub stopped working by taking the charging cable, plugging it into another outlet, and verifying that my device was receiving power to charge. Im not sure why the charging port stopped working as most of the time I simply left a charging cable plugged in and that was it. This is the reason for the 3 stars. So, far, all 6 usb ports still work. I havent used all 7. The ones I use still work.

Second one I bought. These work very well.

I like the on/off buttons for each USB hub.

Love the concept, however the blue light is way too bright for my wife and she can sleep with a TV on. She hates the light but we love the concept. The light bothers me as well so I just try and block it. Probably gonna move it downstairs as a household port and get new dark ones for the bedroom. The USB plug concept however is a no brainer.

Having a powered hub reduces the strain on the power supply in your PC. I typically use all-in-one or mini pcs, so I typically dont have a big power supply with the capacity to effectively run external drives and accessories. This is the perfect solution. There are also power switches that allow you to decide whats running & whats not. A webcam is a perfect example of something that is better disconnected when not in use. This hub allows me to use both a two bay and a four bay drive enclosure, so its effectively moving data to and from six external solid state drives, along with a webcam and wireless keyboard & mouse. With motorized drives, the powered hub would be even more important, due to the additional power needed. The one thing that I dont care for is the USB cord is permanently mounted in the device, whereas I would have preferred something removable and a bit longer. I recommend this product.

Plug n play.

Definitely RECOMMEND!!! I have alot running off this, Im a Gamer and run a Camera, Microphone, a one handed keyboard for gaming , a turtle beach controller, and 2 gaming mouses. It works awesome.

we use it in a class room setting and it works very well when using more than one thumb drive

I bought this powered USB 3.0 hub for my external Blu-ray burner. It provides plenty of extra power. Works great.

ok
