10/10 Worth Every Cent
Best purchase I’ve ever made for my setup besides like lighting and mounts, this right here is 10/10, had it for maybe 8 months so far (late review) but it’s absolutely amazing, and I know it’s not too demanding from my pc, I originally bought this for my laptop, but I’ve upgraded since then and it was worth every dollar, super useful and functional, has more than enough usb ports there’s just so many usb ports, super good port, along with the charging ones, super great power usage, and I can turn off and on the ones I want to use whenever, super light and it even looks nice!

Works OK
Sabrent 36W 7-Port USB 3.0 HubI use this for writing backup files from my desktop computer to a flash drive every night.All 7 of the ports work. I wrote a script to compare the speed of file transfer between ports on this hub and the native USB 3.0 ports on the front of the computer. It’s a very fast computer with an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard, and those native ports are connected directly to that motherboard. The file source was an internal RAM disk, infinitely fast compared to USB. There was no difference in speed between the ports, whether the destination flash drive was a fast one or a slow one.Once a month I write five flash drives at once, and I expect this hub to handle that perfectly. If it doesn’t, I will update this report.I don’t need 36 watts or individual port switches, but maybe some day?OOPS – Now it’s not so good. I make most of my flash drives bootable, using Macrium Reflect, so the images on the drives can be restored easily. But the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard does not find those flash drives. As if they are not connected at all.The USB cable length doesn’t matter, nor does the port that I use on the 7-port Sabrent hub, nor does the brand or type of flash drive. Tried ’em all. And all of the flash drives will boot up just fine when plugged in directly to the front of computer, where a short cable within the computer connects to the mobo.This not a huge problem, because I would use a front or back connection if I really needed to restore a drive. It’s more of an inconvenience, because it makes it a little harder to test a flash drive.I need to get to Sabrent and see what they have to say.SERIOUS UPDATE: The review changes from 5 stars to 1 star (preferably zero).Elated and angry. Elated because I finally discovered why my computer was exhibiting so many sudden “Black Screen of Death” reboots. Angry because the cause was this Sabrent 7-Port USB Hub which was doing nothing when the reboots occurred.The reboots seemed to be random, so I had no idea what might cause them and spent good money on three (very nice) Tripp-Lite surge suppressors. I was already using a UPS for the computer itself. More important, I spent hours upon hours trying to find the problem, never imagining that it could be a device that was plugged in but not even in use when the reboots happened. I wrote scripts, attempting to repeatedly exercise non-microsoft software (VeraCrypt, 7-Zip, ImDisk) to produce the error reliably, to no avail.I kept a log of the black screens, and that did help. Finally my little brain connected the start of the black screens to the time that I purchased the Sabrent 7-Port USB Hub. Since disconnecting that, no such reboots have occurred. I do need a hub during certain procedures, but the replacement ikuai 11-Port hub has not caused reboot problems. It has other problems, and it’s going back, but that’s a separate review.The Sabrent hub was unquestionably the cause. However, in my opinion, the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero motherboard is also partly at fault, because it should be designed well enough to prevent a USB-connected device from bringing down the computer.2024 03 05 Another update. Maybe the Sabrent isn’t the problem after all. It’s definitely not “unquestionably” the cause. I replaced it with a new RSHTech 7-port USB hub, and the black-screen reboots continue. I’m stumped right now, actually starting to suspect my UPS of spikes or momentary cutouts. Anyway I think the Sabrent is OK.

Utiliser sur un SimRig pour tout le matériel Sim Racing et j’en suis très très satisfait. Les trois ports de recharges me servent pour recharger les périphériques sans fil (clavier, souris et casque) et les autres pour les différents périphériques (base, pédalier, dashboard, …).Pour ceux (comme moi) qui pensent utiliser les boutons on/off, il faut savoir qu’ils leur arrive de ne pas s’enclencher comme ils le devraient. D’où les 3 étoiles. Après un petit temps (quelques mois), la position basse (on) a parfois du mal à “accrocher”. Il suffirait peut-être de démonter pour remettre un guide convenablement, mais j’ai choisi de ne plus le passer en off.Mis à part ce petit souci rien à signaler sur ce hub qui fait très bien le travail.

Tengo una lap YOGA, la cual tiene únicamente una entrada para USB. Gracias al COVID me he estado dedicando a dar cursos virtuales y videoconferencias en vivo. Este dispositivo de entradas para USB y 3 cargadores, me ha sido de vital ayuda. Le conecto micrófono, cámara de video, los USB para teclado y mouse inalpambrico, y todo funciona a la perfección. Sin problema alguno en la transmisión de audio y video. Además de que cuando se me termina alguna bateria del equipo de iluminación tengo la oportunidad de conectar su cargador a éste adaptador y recargar la bateria al mismo tiempo que estoy transmitiendo en vivo. MUY RECOMENDABLE! EXCELENTE PRODUCTO!! MUY UTIL!!

Works as it should! The buttons are nice to be able to turn ports on and off
