SABRENT USB Hub, 7 Ports 36W, Fast Powered Data Hub

Does the job. Nice and fast. Getting full speed out of my drives. Have 6 connected simultaneously. Use it for video editing work.

Absolutely brilliant, I ne thought it'd work, because of what I'd tried prior to this, but it worked absolutely brilliantly.

This is a great USB hub, each input is switchable and the hub is powered and must be powered to function so you will need a mains supply to use it

I had been using a cheaper hub for drives and sticks but it struggled with spinning hard drives, this hub has the extra power to ensure they run properly. With USB powered external mechanical hard drive they now start up quickly run without any issues, and they run better through this hub that directly plugged into the PC USB socket - start quicker with no seeking and more stability. Only gripes are the buttons for each slot feel a bit soft and you have to be above to clearly see the on/off indicator light.

I love it :) I'm now able to keep my devices attached and use as and when needed now instead of it being showing all the time. Thank you Sabrent for the wonderful product wish these where made many moons ago but better late than never. Great Product.

I had been using an Anker 7-port hubUSB3.0 (H7928-U3 - no longer available on Amazon) - with a 36 watt supply that it needed to work at all, yet this was power that it seemed to refuse to share with the connected USB peripherals. Hence USB3.0 bus powered HDDs wouldn't work, nor would a USB3 to Ethernet adapter. So after reading a few "best buy" articles I bought this Sabrent hub. It just worked like I had expected the Anker hub to work. I'll look for the Sabrent brand in future. Not worth knocking off a star for, but the only disappointment is that the LEDs to indicate the power switch to each port is on are so dim that they are only visible in a dark room ! But of course with any more light one can just about make out if the switches are pushed down !

Ordered one of these to use with my Amiga Mini, as a powered hub is recommended, and decided to test all the ports on the PC before getting all the wiring in place. I tested each port individually, with them switched off, plugging in the device and watch windows detect it, then switch off. The first peripheral was a USB 8bitdo controller, and only four of the seven ports (those furthest from the power/data connectors) worked. The other three caused windows to display a notification saying the USB port wasn't powerful enough to power the device. The second peripheral was a SanDisk Cruzer Blade 128gb memory stick, and the ports behaved exactly as before. If I'd wanted to only use 4 ports, I'd have ordered a 4 port hub, so I processed a return, and decided to order another one, as this could simply be a faulty unit. The second one arrived this morning (February 4th), and I repeated the tests, using the same peripherals, and again, the four ports furthest from the power/data connectors work, and the nearest three don't have enough power. Both of these peripherals work fine in a different USB hub that's permanently connected to the PC, and when directly plugged in to the PC. I re-read the product description, just to make sure there aren't any power-only ports on this model, and they're all supposed to be data ports (Windows would ignore them if they're data only). So I've now processed a return for the second one. It's disappointing, as the unit itself was an ideal size for where I was planning to place it, the switches on the unit work nicely, and having a detachable data cable is handy should I need to use a longer one. I ordered this as it had over 85% 4* and 5* reviews, but unfortunately these two aren't working properly, so I'll have to look for something else.

This is exactly what I needed, and works purfectly. I now need to buy another one.

Enfin trouvé un connecteur de disque ou clé usb efficace. Très bien

product ok

Idealny i jakościowy wybór jako USB hub. Nie spodziewałem się, że przyciski to taka wygoda – podłączyłem i nie trzeba ciągle wyjmować kabli. Jedyny minus to konieczność ręcznego przedłużania gwarancji. Jeśli potrzebujesz po prostu więcej portów, to w zupełności wystarczy.

I needed a USB hub because I run multiple computers from external drives to a single tower. I wanted a hub with mechanical switches so that I could select which drive would be boot up before turning on the computer. This is perfect. The buttons feel good and it's easy to tell whether they're depressed or not. It has a rubber lining underneath the hub so that it doesn't slide around when you're trying to turn something on or off or change a usb. The design is very efficient, I had a 4 port USB hub prior to this one and it was actually slightly longer than this is. Because it has its own power supply the LED indicators also work when the computer is off - I also like that the LEDs aren't super bright, working during the day I don't even notice them unless I look right at them which is what I prefer. I have all 7 ports going - two SSDs and an HDD, 2 monitors sharing a port, webcam, mouse, and keyboard. Even with everything turned on at the same time there's plenty of power to go around so there's no lag, and the hub barely gets warm. I've only had it for a few days as of this writing, so if it doesn't hold up I'll edit the rating, but for now it's better than I hoped for.

Ho acquistato questo hub USB principalmente per alimentare alcune strisce LED e delle lampade USB nella mia postazione. Le 7 porte disponibili sono molto comode, soprattutto perché ognuna è dotata di un interruttore ON/OFF indipendente con indicatore LED. Questo mi permette di accendere e spegnere le luci senza dover scollegare fisicamente i cavi ogni volta: una comodità enorme, soprattutto se si vuole mantenere ordine sulla scrivania. Il trasferimento dati non è stata la mia priorità in questo caso, ma ho fatto qualche test e la velocità con USB 3.2 è davvero ottima. Nessun problema di connessione o di riconoscimento dei dispositivi, funziona perfettamente fin da subito. Anche la compatibilità è eccellente: ho provato anche a collegare un paio di altri accessori (chiavette USB e una tastiera) e tutto ha funzionato senza intoppi. Il cavo di alimentazione esterna incluso è fondamentale: garantisce la potenza necessaria anche per dispositivi che consumano di più, come le luci che sto usando. In sintesi, un prodotto davvero valido, pratico e funzionale. Se avete bisogno di un hub per alimentare o gestire più periferiche USB contemporaneamente, è un acquisto consigliatissimo.
