🔌 Aluminum 8-Port USB Data Hub Splitter by Atolla - Powered USB Hub 3.0 with Individual Switches, 4 USB 3.0 Data Ports, 3 USB 2.0 Data Ports, 1 Smart Charging Port, USB Extension, and 12V/2.5A Power Adapter Review

This product is much more reliable than I expected, it's big and heavy. I mean, in a good way, the lighter plastic parts tend to flap around when you try to plug something into them, that's not a problem.

Been using for a few weeks, working with four hard drives and a few USB dongles for video transfer, backup etc. File transfer speed is just what I need for version 3.0. Devices and USB 2.0 speeds are exactly as advertised. I also use an external USB light charging socket, everything is on at the same time. It's really nice to be able to turn off the power individually. I will most likely buy another one!

I have too many peripherals and not enough ports so I had to buy a USB hub. I'm in transition with my technology so I knew I would need some 2.0 and 3.0 variants (some older electronics and 3.0 don't mix). It was perfect, and not having to worry about phantom energy depletion was a real blessing! Fantastic product for the price.

I first got this to have power buttons for some USB powered music devices I own (because otherwise I wouldn't have the unplug cable to turn off). For that it worked great. I like that you have to long press to turn it off, which prevents accidental presses. I've also recently used the USB 3.0 slots to load audio sample files onto 2 separate SD cards and it works fine. It's nice to only have one USB socket in my laptop and not have to constantly plug and unplug it from that socket. This seems to

I liked that it has 8 ports and they are ALL switchable. Most comfortable. I use a charging port for either a phone or a battery powered speaker that I can charge in a few hours. It is very convenient to leave flash drives and turn them on when you need them. Definitely recommend.
