USB Hub, Aiibe 6 Ports Super High Speed USB 3.0 Hub Splitter + 24W Power Adapter + USB 3.0 Cable, Black Smart Fast Charger Powered USB Hub for Laptop, Mac, PC, Mobile HDD, Mulitple Devices

A Solidly Built USB Hub That Keeps Up With Everything I Throw At It This Aiibe 6-port USB 3.0 hub has quickly become a permanent fixture on my desk. Between my laptop, external hard drives, phone, and a couple of accessories that always seem to need a charge, I was constantly running out of ports. Plugging this hub in felt like instantly upgrading my workspace. The 6 ports give me the flexibility to keep multiple drives, a keyboard, mouse, and phone connected all at once without juggling cables. The included 24W power adapter really makes a difference—devices charge at full speed, and external hard drives don’t struggle to stay powered like they sometimes do with unpowered hubs. File transfers are fast and reliable thanks to the USB 3.0 standard. Build quality is solid; the hub has some heft to it and doesn’t slide around the desk when I plug things in. I also appreciate the sleek black finish, which matches well with my laptop setup without looking cheap or plasticky. The only thing to keep in mind is that this hub is meant to stay put on your desk—it’s not a pocket-sized travel companion. But for anyone who needs a dependable powered hub for a home office or workstation, this is exactly the type of tool that makes daily computing smoother. Bottom line: A well-designed, dependable powered hub that adds speed and stability to a busy desktop setup.

I got this to be able to Inject USB Power ro my Oscilloscope while connecting it to Phone, Tablet, Laptop etc without draining my devices battery quickly by powering it straight off the device.

This 8 port Hub is particularly handy for older computers without a lot of possibility for receiving plugs (example: MacBook Air 13", a few years back, with only two or three inputs for USBs, and of course not USB-C's. I have also tested the fast charging port for a smartphone and it charges using standard fast charging speed (about 90 minutes for a full charge) which is great. All in all quite useful if you're good without USB-C inputs.

I first bought this in 2019 for about $15, it lasted for about 5 years. 5 years of daily use, having most of the ports filled in, plugging stuff in and out frequently for little projects. But it finally died. So 5 years later of new tech I went looking for a new hub to replace it and I could not find anything that matched my old one, so after looking around awhile I ended up buying the exact same hub I had before because none of the others matched the features I needed: - Good value - At least 5 ports - Plugging in from the top with the cables coming in from one direction (for a cleaner desk) - At least 1 quick charge plug. - Not huge or ugly Yeah, it's not perfect.: - The AC adapter it a little too big. I wish there was two quick-charges - 1 or two more normal ports would be nice

Works great. Be aware and try to keep this in your mind as you use this hub that two of the end USB's are for charging only and will not transfer data. I knew this, but totally spaced that out in my brain and so it took me a minute to figure out why my phone wasn't connecting to my computer so that I could transfer some music....well duh, I had my phone connected via one of the end ports and not any of the four remaining USB data ports. Just try to keep that in mind and if for some odd reason your thumb drive/phone whatever device is not showing up in file manager that may be the reason.

Overall, a solid hub with good power delivery and two important features. The first important feature is the detachable USB3 cord. Do you need a USB hub to use with your computer that has a USB-C port? Just get a USB-C to USB-A 3.1 cord. Plug the A side into this hub and the C side into your computer, and now you've got more USB sockets to use! The second feature is that it doesn't backfeed power into the computer. That is very important and not many hubs have that feature. (Most powered hubs will apply power to the USB sockets, but they will also send power back up the plug that connects to your computer. This can lead to crashing, phantom motherboard glowing, and all sorts of weirdness. This hub does not have that problem!) This hub saved my day. My computer's operating system got corrupted so I had to restore from a backup. So I plugged this hub into the computer. I then connected a bootable USB stick, an external 4tb hard drive, and an external 500GB SSD. I was able to boot off of the USB stick and copy hundreds of gigabytes of data between the various devices and my computer without a hitch. No weird device disconnects or anything- this hub performed flawlessly and I was back up and running in a few hours. I see some others commented that some of the USB sockets came loose after a few months of use. I just got the hub, so longevity remains to be seen. But all in all this is a definite recommended buy.

First the Good-Power cord length is adequate as well as usb cord length. Charging ports worked as they should and charged quickly. Transfer speed was about the same as a direct connection to a pc port. This was used strictly as data transfer port for external hard drives with their own power supplies. This started failing in less than 2 months. Constant data transfer freezing and HD disconnected and remounting sometimes every 1-2 min or less. Both during transfers and when sitting idle causing many file corruptions and wasting time transferring the same files multiple times just to get a good copy. Definitely not worth the cheaper price point, spend the extra money and get something that will last.

A great addition to my desk setup. I have a webcam that I don't want to be always on, and an archive HDD that I only need once in a while. This switchable hub made it easy to control these occasional devices.
