Customer Ratings & Reviews

This 7-port powered USB 3.0 hub is just what I needed! There are never enough ports on my computers and this gives me 7 extra ports. It's compact (about 2.5" x 1" x 6.75"). The 2 ports on the back are for the included USB connecting cable (about 42") and the included power adapter cord (about 48"). Also included are 4 different electrical plugs that are easily attached for your specific type of outlet. I like the powered hub and have noticed no performance loss.

Not a PERFECT 5-star but better than a 4-star. No 1/2 star option so I rounded down. If this was less bulky compared to other hubs and or had at least one USB-C port it would be a 5-Star even at full retail price (hear value). **************** ***** Pros ***** **************** + Quantity of Ports - 7 to 8 is among the most I've seen on a hub that does both data and charging + Price - Retails for roughly $75-79, I got mine on flash sale for $48.99 which makes this a good deal for a 7-port charging hub. + Quality - Ports are well made and the device is well constructed. Plugging and unplugging of USB ports is appropriately tight. + Charging & Data transfer - quick and painless which is not as forgone a conclusion as you might think for a charging hub. I've had others that didn't do both as advertised, effectively or efficiently. ***************** ***** Cons ***** ***************** - Footprint -> This is a lesser con for some people and for my specific use case since I am using it in a vertical orientation in a fixed location (see picture). However, for use-cases that include portable/ travel use, this would be a consideration. It is "bulkier than I was expecting" was my first impression. For a newer, though not new, technology it's a bulky. For comparison, I have an 8-port USB-2 Hub from 7-years ago that is roughly 2/3rds the thickness of this unit. Note, two off the 8-ports are on the back of the other six. My older unit is also 2.5-cm shorter than this "newer" technology hub. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - No type-C port - Since this is a charging hub, it would have been nice to have at least one type C port. Wish it had at least one USB Type C port for my use-case. If it had that, I would not need an additional connector between a device with underlying USB 3.0 speed connections and charging when using this charging hub. So why did you buy this one you may be asking? Because all the data & charging USB 3.0 hubs that had at least one Type C port only had two or three Type-A USB 3.0 ports and that wasn't enough.

Given the seemingly extremely limited number of USB ports on PC cases these days, I knew I would need something like this for my new build. At 7 ports, that's enough to connect my hard drives and CD/DVD drive, with several slots still to spare for plugging in flashdrives or anything else that might arise. The indicator lights are also very helpful, but don't be alarmed if some go off when a drive is just "sleeping" when you're not using it. Well, I've been using this for eight months and have had none of the problems some others have reported. Just make sure it's plugged into an outlet to power the devices that need that extra juice--or they'll start making a very concerning noise which will promptly freak you out!

Excellent expansion unit! I used this for my pc so I can hold more flash drives for my videos.

I bought this to extend my docking station, it is quick without any noticed delay. Helps keep productivity up with multiple devices connected.

As USB Hubs go, it is usually hit or miss. This one is worth buying! Well made. I had no problems with this hub. All ports work at the same time. I've purchased other hubs and usually the ports burn out after time. I've had this one for about 3 months and have had no problems. Easy set up and install.

I have a tablet that I need to expand the hard drive and when using for long periods of time add a mouse and keyboard. This hub allows me to add what ever I need to complete the job. Sometimes it is 2 or 3 flash drives to share a project. Works great for my needs.

Easy to set up and connect to your computer to expand the number of USB 3.0 ports.

yes I got this because i only had one USB and now I have 7 and it works great

Plugged up the power supply and plugged in the USB connection to my MacBook Pro and was off to the races. Ports illuminate when a device is connected. The unit is compact and works well for my music production.

Seven USB2/USB3 ports, an AC power adapter if you need more power than your PC can supply, and an indicator on each port that displays a blue light when that port is connected to an active device. StarTech has a reputation for good quality. Very pleased.

This was easy to install and it works great. All good.

It is wonderful to have so many USB ports to plug into. This sits on my desk and is easy to use. It works great with no problems at all.

I bought this so I didn't have to go to the back of my computer to plug into a usb. now it's on top and it also lights up, now I have 5 plug-in in use and still have room to grow!!!

I have multiple USB 3.0 drives, 6 as a matter of fact. The best and fastest way to connect to my computers is by using this hub. It's fast and required no additional software to use... Highly recommend!

Excellent port for multiple hookups. Hubbing along nicely with my connected equipment.

adequate fast speed lighted slots. priced competitively.

Bought this along with a hard disk docking station. This USB hub in plugged into the USB 3. I had a 7200 rpm disk drive from an old desktop PC with files I needed and I plugged old disk in to the docking station creating an additional drive almost as fast as the onboard drive ,,, works great!

It seems like everything is connected via USB now a days. This is the second StarTech 7 port hub I have purchased and hooked up to my Windows 10 PC. Have had no issues with either.

I really like this 3.0 hub. Seven ports means having more of my devices plugged and running. Because it has its own power supply, all of my mobile can be charged. I currently have 2 Western Digital My Book external drives of 2TB and 4 TB. A Logitech wireless for my keyboard and mouse. Free port for charging my Motorola Bluetooth earpiece. and my digital camera. All being used on my iMac. The price is awesome. This product meets all of my needs.
