Review on Plugable 7 Port USB Hub – USB Charging Station for Multiple Devices with 60W Power Adapter and USB 2.0 Data Transfer Capability by Corey Greene

Hooray! Finally found a USB hub that works to sync and charge my iPad Air and our iPhone 5s. It also goes with my three USB 2.0 backup drives, a USB flash drive I keep for documents, a label printer, and a few other small things I've tested it with. Essentially a great all-in-one USB hub that finally eliminates the need for separate charging and syncing sessions for my Apple hardware. I had a previous 10 port pluggable hub that was powered but it kept saying "not charging" when in fact it was charging very very slowly for my iPhone and iPad. (However, the iPad would sometimes run out of juice when plugged in.) The problem is that you need a separate place for charging and syncing/backing up to be able to do it all in one device. Worth the small price of this new hub.
