Powered USB 3.0 Hub, ikuai 7 Ports Aluminum USB Splitter Hub (3 Faster Data Transfer Ports+ 4 Smart Charging Ports) with Individual LED On/Off Switches, Multi USB Port for PC, Mac (RSW-A37)

My experiences with USB 3.0 hubs were bad. I have tried almost every reasonably priced unit from $12 to $50 since 2009. Their life span stretched from 1 month to +1.5 years. The two best were the Plugable 7-Port Aluminum with its 1.5 year average - it was no longer sold since 2018. My Atolla 10-Port has just gone beyond 1.5 years. However, it suffered two glitches in 2020. The ports would not function for 1-2 days, and they came back. Until it was completely non-functional, the warranty could not be executed. . Here are the good and bad on this product. . . ADVANTAGES . 1. PRICE: Twice in August, 2020, it sold for $11 after a $15 coupon special. . 2. CONSTRUCTION: The unit was very light and compact, made of hard plastic. Unfortunately, the USB cable was a bit short by 6. . 3. QUALITY: On 09/01/2020, it was the highest rated USB 3.0 hub among 130 users. It had 81% 5-Stars and a 94% when the score was combined with the 13% 4-Star stat. . . DISADVANTAGES . 1. PERFORMANCE: The speed was acceptable with a range of 53-65 mb/s. The consistent rate was 63 mb/s. On a two second burst, it shot up to 68 mb/s. So compared to my Atolla, it was 30% slower. The latter cruised at 90 mb/s. . 2. WARRANTY: It is 12 months, while the Atolla has 18 months. . . For speed and an additional six month warranty, nothing can surpass the Atolla. On the other hand, the ikuai sold for 30% of its competitors price on two occasions. For me, I can not say NO to a deal like that.

Overall, this is a great powered USB hub and is exactly what I needed. I thought it would be bigger, but its actually a pretty small design, which makes it even better. The build quality is amazing. It feels very sturdy when you touch it. I even accidentally dropped it when I first unboxed it, and it didnt get any dents or scratches. There are switches for each USB port, so you can decide which one is on or off. The light next to the hub is not only a light to tell you if the port is on or not, but its also an activity light that tells you when the port is in use. That was an amazing addition to the product, and I absolutely love it. Overall, this is a great little USB hub that is worth the money.

Liked compactness, heavy duty cables, works well even with external hard drive.

Caused my motherboard on my PC to short out and wouldnt boot with this connected. This is a common problem with poorly made powered usb hubs. Id recommend skipping this product and looking for something of better quality. My PC works fine after disconnecting the device but I dont trust it long term since it could damage the motherboard.

Excelente calidad por el precio.

EZ to set up and the turbocharger works great, changes fast.. all ports work as they should. Set up under my desk out the way.

Great bang for the buck

Does not have camera

I had it only for a few weeks, but it works well with no problems.

It does exactly what I expected it to do, so far so good.
