Powered USB 3.0 Hub, Atolla USB 3.0 Data Hub 11 Ports - 7 USB 3.0 Data Ports + 4 Smart Charging Port with Individual On/Off Switches and 12V/4A Power Adapter USB Hub 3.0 Splitter

REVISED REVIEW:After having issues with the charger, I reached out to the company. They were AMAZING with their communication and desire to make things right. Within a week, I had a replacement. It works great and I am extremely pleased with my purchase. EXCELLENT customer service from the company.I purchased this charger for the robotics club at my school. The first time I plugged it in, everything looked just fine. I put in the first USB cord and got a puff of smoke, the whole thing turned off, then came back on. That one port no longer works. The other 9 work OK, but I purchased this because it has 10 ports.

I have a couple of external drives that I use for weekly incremental backups only. (I alternate them every week.) Each backup typically takes no more than 5 minutes. Having the drives constantly plugged in to my PC and *powered* would reduce their life span. Plugging and unplugging them each time I need to use them is a royal pain as my PC tower is under my desk. This USB hub is the perfect solution. I now control most of my USB peripherals with it: speakers, microphone and video conference light. I find the 4 charging ports very handy too. The 3 'smart charging ports' sometimes are not that 'smart' charging my Pixel phone. Once I switched to the always-on charging port, my Pixel has been happy for the last 2 months. I use the 3 'smart charging ports' to charge my two fitness bands and headsets with no problem whatsoever.I had read alarming reports by other users about the hub 'burning' or 'smoking'. So I have been watching it like a hawk. I am glad to report that I have seen no sign of those in the last two months. Your mileage, of course, may vary.

The Atolla USB 3.0 Data Hub, with its powered design, gives you stable performance for all devices. Its power on and off functionality adds convenience, while the included power adapter removes reliance on your computer for power. Easy to set up and compact, this hub is a great choice for expanding connectivity and charging. Highly recommended for those seeking convenience and reliable performance.

I've been using this hub for several months and, overall, it has worked well. When I first got it, I only needed a couple of extra ports, but over time the whole hub has filled up with different devices. The power buttons to each port works fine–you have to hold them for a second before they engage, but once they do they are illuminated by an LED.One thing I didn't realize, perhaps I didn't read the description closely enough, but the 4 red charging ports are just that–strictly charging ports. The connection does not pass through and they do not interface with the computer.The LED's are bright. When the whole hub is lit, it's like having a blue nightlight in the office.

As a middle school teacher, the last battle I want to fight is the cell phone one. I created a charging station in my room to provide an incentive for my students to part ways with their phones. This has worked excellently and I’m pleased with the look and ease of set up/use.

This is a really nice, well built USB hub. Particularly like the ability to easily turn on and off individual ports.

You can plug in up to 7 USB Ports and can also charge up to three additional USB items. The main port is electrically connected to the main computer.

With my computer being located outside my recording booth, this wonderful powered USB hub has allowed me to connect a host of devices inside the booth, including being able to charge devices like my phone and Kindle.

Solo sirvió dos semanas. Luego ya no funcionó. No conectaba nada y no tengo idea de qué fue lo que pasó.
