Review on ORICO Powered USB HUB - 4 Port Aluminum USB 3.0 Splitter with 12V3A Power Adapter, 3.3Ft Data Cable, Individual LED Indicator - Fast Charging for Laptop, PC, USB Flash Drives, and More by Doug Hawkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solidly built though. Power outages require button press to reactivate (turn on) hub

Was looking for a USB hub with more power (tested), that was durable (tested), had over 7 ports (check), ie this one seems to be perfect for all requirements. Just one question. The hub requires you to press a small blue button (which often pops off) when you turn off the device. In the event of a power failure, I install these behind an inner wall that is difficult to access. All devices connected to it are inaccessible until one of them turns the hub back on. If it's installed on a table then that's probably not a problem, but in my case it's a problem. I will most likely break the soldering iron and try to turn it on by itself when power is restored.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Upgradeable
