do not recommend this at all. requires a power cable to function. best buy doesn't sell the power cable. get the insignia version. no extra software needed with insignia.

Hi Murphy!
I'm sorry to hear this happened to you! This device does not actually need a power adapter unless you plan on using multiple external hard drives. Best Buy does actually sell the power adapter for this, it's the JUH4AC. In the time since your review, we've continued to improve our devices and make sure things like this don't happen. I hope that in the future you would consider giving us a second chance so that we can show you the difference! Thanks, j5create

I made this purchase as a gift for my daughter who is away at college. It has held up well and was a good purchase for the $

Bought this for my Macbook. It looks solid, but it didn't work. It has a power port to plug in an adapter. I'm assuming that my USB-C port isn't providing enough power and I'd need to buy a power supply, because the product doesn't actually come with one. The instructions say to contact J5 before BestBuy. That's a red flag for me. I'll be returning this item.

I had to return this product. No matter which device I plugged it into, the corresponding mouse with the device would work only intermittently. I went to Radio Shack and purchased one for substantially less and it worked just fine.

in theory. Cheaply made, and after spending 45$ for a powered USB hub, you have to pay to buy the power adapter that is Not included....Not likely. Returning it. It's not too cool that they don't tell you the adapter is not included in the specs. Also, it stated that it weighed 2 pounds...that was fine. But it doesn't even way two ounces. Regardless. Cheaply made. Not worth the price.

I purchased this for use with a new laptop only having 2 USB ports so I could use a mouse and be able to transfer documents between external drives. The Ethernet was an additional bonus as the laptop is wifi only. If I plug my USB wireless mouse adapter into the hub, it becomes unusable as it stutters and skips.
