SABRENT10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs, Includes 60W 12V/5A Power Adapter (HB-BU10)

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!

First, a caution which applies to ALL USB hubs: more USB sockets does not necessarily mean you can use more USB devices simultaneously. If you want more USB devices usable at the same time, do some reading online about the way a PC manages USB devices. And consider plugging this Sabrent hub into a USB-2 port rather than a USB-3 port. The overall speed may be slower but the number of simultaneous ports available will be larger. It seems you can have high speed or connectivity but not both simultaneously, at least in the Windows 10 world. You may want to keep a USB 3 port on the PC empty, so it's available when you need high speed such as for a backup drive or DVD player.I am very pleased with this device! It works as advertised and does what I need, namely provides additional USB ports so I can keep more USB devices plugged in than was possible with the ports on my Windows 10 laptop. The main benefit for me is that I can bundle up the various cables and keep them all plugged in, turning devices on and off as needed via the VERY HANDY on/off switch for each USB socket. So for example I can turn the external Bluetooth adapter off when not needed.The three power-only ports are great for recharging devices that don't need to connect to the PC but do need to be recharged. The power switch for each allows me to plug and unplug power cables without worrying about eventually ruining tiny electrical contacts due to connecting with power applied. Also I don't need to find the wall-wart AC adapter for charging each device.I checked all the voltage levels at the USB sockets and all were 5.15V with only about +/- 20mV variation. These were no-load tests but it appears that the power supply is more than capable of handling the rated load.I'd prefer it if the power supply were smaller and lighter, but at least it's efficient; I don't notice any warmth. And the power cable from power supply to USB plug strip is thick and stiff, which makes it a bit of a nuisance for positioning the USB plug strip. The same can be said about the USB-B to USB-A cable that connects the USB plug strip to the PC. If these cables could be made thinner and more flexible while maintaining the required performance, I would find that helpful.Overall I'm very pleased with this product. It does what I needed, does it well, and appears to be durable. I've been using it now for a couple months.

I really love these things. I used 3M lock (like velcro) to attache them to the back of my desk, so that all these wires needed for my studio equipment would be easily accessible but out of the way.They work great, excellent quality. The on/off buttons are great and you can tell what you've got working by the blue lights and what's left for expansion by the lack of a blue light.I would definitely buy them again, but I do recommend some method of mounting or affixing them to a surface as they are very light and prone to move around otherwise.

Updated Review - 4 stars - 02/17/2025. I am updating my previous review from 1 star to 4 stars. I now think this is a great hub and I'm not sure why they fail. It could be changes in Windows? Anyway, I finally discovered how to fix the problem of it connecting and disconnecting constantly: I went into Windows 10, Searched for Device Manager, Found the hub, Opened Properties, Clicked on Power Management tab, Unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power." Note that I always set my computers' power management to full performance rather than "balanced" or "power saving" because I don't use batteries. So I didn't even think this could be a problem but tried it anyway and it worked for me. I took one star off because I think Sabrent should tell people how to fix this problem since it happens to so many people.Original Review - 1 star - 10/24/2024. I bought one of these in 2022 and it worked great for over a year. Then it suddenly started disconnecting and connecting repeatedly on Windows. Frequently stopped working altogether. I ordered two more in 2024 but it started working again and I didn't open the boxes and now I'm passed the return date. It started malfunctioning again and I installed one of my new ones...same thing! Then I read all the negative reviews about error messages, troubleshooting, etc. and Yep! that was me. I tried to find the so-called firmware upgrade download but couldn't. I don't recommend it at all.

Always unsure with USB hubs due to power/data transfer speed issues and constraints. This hub can transfer files between 5 external drives hooked up at USB 3.0 speeds. The external power is fantastic and the on/off switches for each port is a nice touch. Use it way more than I though I would. Works on both windows and Mac without needing to install drivers, just plug and play. Great value for money! 100 percent recommend if you need lots of USB ports on your PC.
