Power USB Hub 3.0, atolla 16 Port USB Splitter with 12V/6A Power Adapter and Individual Switches, High-Speed Data Transfer for Laptop, PC, Mac, and More Devices

I run a server that has two USB hard drives and 6 USB audio boards that provides 6 online police scanner feeds - this USB hub really helps keep me connected and still have room for more plugins.

Nice Hub with So Many USB Ports! Would have been even nicer if there was some type c connections as well. I did not have any problems transferring files among multiple external drives or multiple devices at the same time. I love the fact that I can mont this back of a monitor (with double stick tape) and have all the extra ports at arms length. Cleans up my work area, looks nice and clean and have a lot of extra ports for when needed. This hub is advertised correctly, the images are true. Highly Recommended. Packaging & Delivery:] The packaging is as expected and arrived without incident. Delivery was fast and as promised. [Summery:] All in all I am very happy. I am comfortable with the 5 stars. I have no problem recommending this hub or the seller.

This is a powered USB 3.0 hub 3.0 with ports. Now that may seem like a simple sentence, but it isnt. In fact, USB hubs that claim to support USB 3.0 do not. The Atolla hub does. In addition it is powered. That mean that you need to plus it in. Many hub use what is called bus power. That mean that the power that they use is drawn fro the computer or device that they are connected to. That can put a strain on your system if you are using a lot of USB ports for power or charging. Having your own power supply for the hub is nice. Atolla claims that the hub delivers 12V/6A of power. My testing confirms that. Also Atolla clams USB 3.0 data transfer rates. Again, I have conformed that. So far, the Atolla is stacking up pretty well. Speaking of power, the 16 ports on the hub are individually switched. That can save money and heat. When you with a port off, the led light for the port also goes off so that you can visually determine if a port is on or not. That is nice. Atolla also claims fast charging speeds. While that is true, the Atolla does not support the latest quick charging standards. In the world of electronics, especially consumer electronics, a lot of manufacturers make all sorts of performance claim that they do not meet. Im happy that Atolla delivers what they promise.

It is nice to see some empty USB ports still available. So many devices to charge and connect to this hub that it almost looks absurd to have so many ports. But we need them.

This is a large USB hub. 16 ports. Its separately powered from its own included power supply. It works well, both for charging devices and for data transfer. Each individual USB port can be turned on/off with a button next to each port, and each port itself lights up blue if it is on, and no light if it has been switched off. Its quite an impressive USB hub, and glad it has its own power, as it can provide power and charge multiple devices. I was a bit surprised how big it actually is. From the photos, I didnt realize it would be quite this large. And with 16 ports, it needs to be rather big. The design feature of being able to switch off each port is a nice feature. Im also impressed with how little power it draws. At idle, with no devices, it doesnt even register 1 watt draw, even with the power supply and all the 16 LEDs on (this is very good). When devices are plugged in (like an iPhone, iPad, and a few others that are charging), it pulled about 8-10 watts to charge these devices. Impressive design. It works exactly for what I needed, to charge and for data transfer too.

This is a great piece and works very well.

OK now, this is a big USB hub and just what I was looking for. This hub is just over 12 long and easily handles 16 different devices at the same time. I currently have 15 different devices plugged in and the ports turned on and have no issues. This hub is different from others that I have: - This hub is powered - youll need to plug it into a power outlet. All of the other hubs I have draw power from my computer. - You can turn on/off each port if you wish. I have the unit plugged into my tower PC and have a number of devices charging off of it including two phones, an Android tablet and a Kindle. Ive got an external floppy drive, an external DVD drive, 3 external hard drives, a Bluetooth adapter, a small vacuum and a mouse all plugged into it and no problems or issues. I included a photo of the instruction booklet only because I cant figure out what it is trying to say The 16 port USB 3.0 hub expands your computers Type-A port into seven USB 3.0 (Type-A) ports... Seven? I dont get why it says only seven when it is a 16 port adapter.

I ordered this 16-port USB hub because I always have many devices to charge; such as cell phones, tablets, smart watches, headphones, portable batteries, and other things as well. I had been using a 3-port USB charger at my desk, but I was always having to unplug one device to charge another. With this hub I can leave the cables for all of the devices I charge on a regular basis plugged in, so that will save me a lot of time. Although this hub can also be connected to your computer and used to access flash drives or portable hard drives, my primary computer already has enough ports for those devices, so for me this hub will only be used for charging. The big complaint I have is the lack of USB-C support. This is 2023, not 2013. There is no excuse for any product like this that is being sold today to not have full support for USB-C. The main cable that is used to connect this hub to your computer should be USB-C, not USB-A. And at least half of the 16 ports should be USB-C. If Atolla would update this product to include those changes, I would give it 5 stars. But although this is a fine piece of hardware and it solves a big problem for me, I cant give it a perfect rating without USB-C support.

Great to use and works perfectly

I LOVE THIS THING! My laptop only has 2 ports and I need to have access to way more than that to run my programs. this hub is INCREDIBLE! The main board plugs into an outlet, so your computer isnt powering the big strip. you can turn on and off power to each hub. very nice
