Review on Black USB 3.0 Hub with 10 Ports - 8 x USB-A + 2 x Fast Charge USB-A Ports - Multi Port Powered USB Hub with Charge & Sync Functionality (ST103008U2C) by Brian Gordon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great idea, poorly executed.

UPDATE: Not ONLY USB2 ports keep disconnecting, USB3 ports do too. It looks like it has to do with power management in the hub. Actually it is very disappointing! I would not recommend this device to anyone. A solid mechanical design and a really interesting solution, including an integrated USB3-USB2 bridge that allows you to connect 4 slow USB devices in addition to 2 faster ones. That's 2 stars. The remaining stars have been removed as the USB2 ports are constantly disabled. I see other verified buyers have seen the exact same issue, so I'm assuming it's not my device that's defective, it's a design flaw. Could there be some kind of power saving feature in the USB3-USB2 bridge?

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • There are nuances
