RosonwayPowered USB Hub Aluminum 13 Port USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 Hub 10Gbps with 72W (12V/6A) Power Adapter and Individual Switches, Type A and Type C Cables, USB C Hub Expander for PC and Laptop, RSH-A13

If like me you’ve accumulated a slew of USB-chargeable devices, some of them like my bicycle lights needing electricity only, while others require both power and communication with my computer, like my remote backup drive, you’ve probably gotten to the point where you’ve got three or four or more charging hubs, some in different rooms, with the attendant messiness and uncertainty about what is being charged where.A few weeks ago, with the purchase of three new sets of Bluetooth earbuds, I used the occasion to tackle the problem head-on. Not being a techie, I did some limited research and found out that USB 3.0 compatibility is important, and that for my Windows 10 laptop, which I plan to keep at Win 10 and not upgrade to Win 11, this16-port Ronsonway data hub should more than fill the bill.And it does. I’ve managed to consolidate all my chargeables and keep nearly all the Ronsonway‘s 16 ports active simultaneously without any noticeable loss of charging power. While not able to match my Anker fast charger’s speeds required for my power-hungry iPhone and iPad, the Ronsonway effortlessly keeps all my smaller components topped up. I’ve come to appreciate its space-efficient narrow form factor and sleek, high-quality construction. I’m not sure what the point is for each port to have its own light and on/off switch, but it sure looks pretty.If you’re considering taking the plunge and are a Windows 11 user, there may be a technically more advanced hub out there that is more effective. I would recommend confirming that before committing. But if yours is a Windows 10 platform, I can attest that this Ronsonway runs beautifully on mine.

Where do I start. The ports are loose so any bump and cause devices to disconnect. The lights are so dim and at an odd angle so it's almost impossible to see which ports are on unless your in the dark. And finally the 72W seems to be limited to 10W per port so you can't even fast charge anything.

This thing saved me. I simply ran out of USB ports on the back of my computer and also wanted to clean up the appearance of my computer space. Utilizing the extra ports on my monitors simply wasn't pretty. Everyone likes to hide the cords, right? It doesn't help that some Corsair products have very thick USB cables that are difficult to plug in beside each other (keyboard in particular).I used some heavy duty double sided tape to attach this hub to the back of my desk and have so far plugged 7 different cords and dongles into it. Tadaa! I don't even need to have the USB on my monitors powered anymore, so that actually allowed me to put some cords away for good. Everything looks so much cleaner with all the cables tucked way down behind my desk.Everything works as you'd expect, just like plugging it into the back of your computer. I didn't have to make any adjustments. The hub shuts off by default when the computer shuts off, so all your little led lights and such don't stay on all the time. It's great for any device that doesn't require power 24/7. If you have an external drive that you want to keep running, perhaps you can play with some settings (BIOS?) or just plug it in elsewhere.Speaking of LED lights, the blue lights on this are not too bright. This is good in my opinion. I don't want bright blue lights lighting up the room or clashing with the custom ARGB lighting of my computer. So, thank you for keeping it subtle.This hub does exactly what it needs to. It's perfect in my opinion. Buy it. Also do what I did and get some quality double sided tape to keep it secure (and hidden).

I purchased this unit for a new home setup involving multiple MacBooks (4), over a dozen mobile phones, a few tablets, a Surface Pro, and a few other hubs and docks I am testing out.This Powered USB Hub Rosonway 16 Ports 100W USB 3.0 Data Hub Aluminum USB Hub 3.0 Splitter with 12V/8.3A UL Certified Power Adapter and Individual On/Off Switches RSH-A16 (Black) is the first hub I've been impressed by since a 2.0 Anker Hub in 2015. It was to be my phone Hub for my setup; however, in my confusion, I got it mixed up with another unit Rosonway builds and had to exchange. That being said, I still wanted to try it out to see if it was worth sticking with the brand for future upgrades.The unit itself is a high-quality all-aluminum body, housing what appear to be LED lights running down one side that indicate whether the ports are engaged. The lights, conveniently next to their corresponding USB port, easily blend behind a mirrored finish during the day and are surprisingly neither too bright nor too distracting at night. The other side has buttons for each port that are easy to switch off, with a very smooth press and release. I personally would prefer a button that requires more deliberate force, because I found myself toggling the buttons accidentally. But that's just me.Also in the box with the hub were the power supply and a 4ft long USB 3.0 detachable cable - both quality built. Installation was easy. It was a simple plug and play operation straight out of the box, with no cause for confusion.In my setup, there were never less than 8 iOS devices connected at all times. While connected, these devices all maintained 100% charge even when removing and installing apps, data, and OSs. Speeds were in-line with what was stated; the only thing I regret was the fact that they were not high enough for my current build at 5Gbps speeds. The 3.1 10Gbps is actually the unit I need, so I'm looking forward to testing that one once it arrives.Overall, this Hub is very well built. It delivers on what it promises, and would've fit all of my needs had it been 10Gbsp instead of 5Gbps. I look forward to trying many more devices from the Rosonway family.Deleted User. io

This is a nice hub. It overall works as expected. The build quality is nice, it feels sturdy and looks sleek. Both the hub and power adapter are silent, no electrical hiss or whine.FUNCTION:- The ability to turn ports on/off is great for having external hard drives (you have to eject them from the computer first, of course), which I use 2 for redundant external storage and 1 for Mac Time Machine.- The hub also works fine with my Focusrite audio interface (recording/playback), my iLok, etc.- I am able to daisy-chain my Dell monitor's built-in USB hub as expected and even run my mouse receiver off of that! So no latency issues whatsoever.LIGHTS:- The lights are steady on for USB 3.0 Devices, flash during disk read/write, and flash constantly for USB 2.0 Devices like my keyboard.- They are a good brightness - not too bright.- It would make more sense for the indicator lights to be on the side with the buttons, but this is not a huge issue.ISSUES:The main issue I had with my hub is that after a few weeks, the button on port 4 stopped working, so this port would not stay "on" - I contacted support via email who was very responsive - they offered to replace the device for free, either immediately or anytime during the extended warranty (I registered the product after purchase which extends the coverage period). I will probably take them up on this offer towards the end of the warranty.Secondly, if I forget to disconnect an external drive before shutting down my computer, the hub will power off with the computer, sort of hard-stopping the drive, and then moments later power back on in stand-alone mode, again kinda jolting the drive awake... this is of course primarily user-error, but it would maybe be better if the hub didn't turn the drive off and on again and instead just stayed powered.I should also note that the product box came a bit beat up from Amazon (the brown shipping box was fine). But I'm willing to bet this happened in the Amazon distro center and isn't the fault of the manufacturer. The product was fine inside.I wrote this review after using the hub consistently for ~7 months, and other than that one port button going bad towards the beginning, there have been no other issues! I would recommend you buy it.
