When I have the hub filled, all items seem to move on a lag. 3/4 full, seems ok.

the product seems great. i just wish I wasn't lied to about it. "no you won't need to plug the AC power in" when in fact, YES you do, you will need to or it will not work correctly. so before you go looking to buy this. make sure you have an available power plug otherwise, you will get connected/disconnected sounds your computer makes non-stop until you unplug it.

Worked great... while it worked. And then it suddenly stopped. It sat on my desk the entire time I owned it so no chance of operator damage being a contribution.

I came in requesting a USB hub to charge three goPro cameras at once. This is what they sold me on getting. Once I got home to test it I realized only one port charged.... the rest of the ports were only good for data transfer. What a waste of money for me.

This product never worked for me. i purchased this product in July at the same time i purchased a new computer. Unfortunately, by the time i started to use the USB hub it was passed the return date allowed by best buy. When i contacted J5Create, they were helpful but i had to spend $ to return the product before they would send a replacement. I chose not to spend $20 to return a product that costs $30 to buy.

Died after 1 year of use

My initial impressions of this hub were favorable. Its made of metal and has a power adapter. The USB 3.0 cable is included and is not something you need to purchase separately. However the item isn't a high quality item. The construction and appearance may fool you. Its another lower quality, cheaply made part that doesn't last long.
I purchased this USB hub on June 2nd, 2016. On June 26th, 2017, the USB hub was completely dead. None of the ports worked or recognized anything plugged into the ports. Trying a different USB 3.0 cable between the hub and computer did not fix the problem. So, its obviously the hub that died.
The hub died a little over 1 year after I purchased it, so the 1 year warranty already expired by a couple weeks. Therefore I'm out the that I paid for this hub. Its not worth the high price if it only lasts 1 year.

It's possible there may be available updates for your computer. Being behind on updates could cause the device to not function as intended and in order to rule everything out we recommend contacting the Manufacture (of your computer) Support in order to have them assist you in properly updating your computer. Also try with another computer or USB ports.

Dead on arrival. And Best Buy said it wasn't covered by Total Tech membership. Since I paid more to get it here so it would be covered, that ticks me off! (I missed the return period.)

If you have a Mac don't get this hub, I own a video production studio Tried this and on several of my newish Apple computers, USP 2 works fine USB 3 not so much even though it says it is a USB 3 hub. Probably works okay on windows I don't really know but since I don't own any Windows computers that's really a nonissue for me

Best buy doesn't back what they sell. I learned this today with their 14 day return/exchange policy. Item conveniently stopped working 20 days after purchase. I was told I have to contact the manufacturer. I told them to keep this garbage. Never buying another item from best buy!

I purchased this to be a charging hub for multiple devices. When I had everything setup, I noticed that only 1 of the ports acts as a charger... I found a cheaper device which does what I need, so I had to return this one.

Never worked right. I thought it might have been my devices, but on both a Mac and PC, various devices simply disconnect or aren't seen. Devices on PC are primarily peripherals such as joysticks, pedals, steering wheels, etc.
I have barely used it; tried again recently with the hopes of it working, but now (on PC) I am getting messages that there's been a USB error and that the computer has to be restarted... WHAT? Went online hoping I might still be under warranty, but it was shelved for so long I forgot about it.
I plugged in an old 4-port powered Belkin (without restarting anything) and it works perfectly.
I'll likely never buy another product from this manufacturer.

New out of the box never worked correctly

This was just the device I needed for my children's charging needs. I bought about a three weeks ago, but my wife hadn't opened the product until today to start using it. Only one of the seven usb ports operates - the port nearest the ac port. The item is new out of the box, yet none of the other six ports operate. At all. I wish I had read the reviews on this product before buying it. You take a major risk buying J5 products as apparently they do not have quality inspections. Please, do not roll the dice on this product. Save yourself the time and money and buy from a better company.

Hello, We appreciate your feedback on the 7 port USB hub. This hub is primarily designed for connecting USB peripherals like flash drives, keyboards, and mice to a computer; not device charging.
