FIRE HAZARD on computer cable adapters

This equipment is hazardous. After it burned 2 of my flash drives (256GB and 64GB) I tried to check if I needed driver updates for the hub via the motherboard and forgot to take out the 64GB drive. After about 30 minutes I notice it's there and when I pulled it out I almost burned my fingertip on the metal part of the drive as I closed it. It was TOO HOT to touch for more than a second or two. I've reached out to the manufacturers and haven't received a response yet, but this needs to be…

Prevented my system from booting. (Updated)

The speeds are good and the construction is very good. The power adapter is very short. The day after the installation, my computer stopped booting. After tearing everything apart to check and reinstall the power supply. I decided to disable all USB devices and unneeded drives. Everything was working fine, devices were plugged in one at a time until I powered this hub. There seems to have been a 5 volt backfeed on my motherboard causing some sort of protection mode. Now I'm wondering if I can…

Connection Issues: Computers and Accessories

Bought last year to run peripherals in the back of my car stereo. I run the tablet as an audio source, it connects to the hub via an active USB 2.0 extender, to which the hub connects via the cable that comes with it. I have a sound card and DSP connected to a hub and the hub also powers the optical-to-coax converter via USB. I powered the hub by cutting the DC connector from the AC connector and plugging it into an installed voltage regulator. to provide the same voltage (and current up to 5A)

Sturdy and reliable hub

I installed this unit upside down under the monitor stand shelf so I could access the USB ports while I was working. It's well built and works great so far. It is very small and unobtrusive - there is no inscription or LED backlight on the front panel with USB connectors. As another reviewer noted, there are 4 screw holes for mounting, but screws are not included. I don't understand why so few other USB hubs can be mounted as it increases its utility when not laying flat on a horizontal…
