Review on πŸ’» Plugable 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub: High-Speed Connectivity with 36W Power Adapter by Shedrick Roach

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Bought this instead of a hub for $299, it's what I needed, works great!

So far - perfect. I originally ordered a $299 Thunderbolt 3 hub for my new iMac, but returned it because it was behaving strangely. But my advisor suggested that I really need a powered USB 3 hub. So I did a little research and settled on this one. It's 1/10th the price, much smaller and simpler, but much closer to what I need, which is to connect 5 or 6 external Western Digital Passport 2TB USB 3 drives at the same time. I still don't know if the amount of power fed to each Western Digital Passport 2TB drive is "sufficient", I don't know the specs nor the measurement of the power coming out of the hub to the USB - to power drives, or as the individual would like, but in these few days of use everything works fine, so the performance should be enough! great, detailed answer - fully answered my questions. I am very happy with this center.
