Review on Syba 7 Port USB 3.0 & 2.0 Hub with Cable and Adapter - SY-HUB20078: Increase Connectivity & Efficiency by Antonio Liberty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well that was a disappointment.

I bought this product in addition to a computer with only two USB ports - initially it worked fine, but after about two weeks of purchase the hub stopped working fully except for one of the 3.0 ports. My wireless keyboard and mouse (which work great when connected directly to my computer), which used to run through a hub just fine, just stopped working. I'm not sure if this is my only case, but it casts enough doubt where I would suggest looking elsewhere for this type of product. This is probably the first item I've purchased from Revain that hasn't worked as advertised and I just feel like an idiot for hastyly throwing the box away since now I can't return this paperweight for $30 . Replugging the included power adapter about a dozen times, wiggling the power button the same number of times, and reseating and removing all my peripherals got the hub working again. Not entirely useless, just confusing and unreliable.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • Nothing here
