Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does essentially what it claims to you. Set up is painless and USB cord is nearly 3 feet long to accommodate most rigs. One minor set back, however, is the power consumption. If you're running, say: an external sound card, an external SSD drive, printer cable, wireless USB mouse receiver, this unit cannot support all those accessories at once without plugging it into its power supply. Said power supply is a mouse sized, dual pronged (not grounded) plug. Having a power supply running on an ungrounded plug introduces a ton of ambient and electronic noise into the signal chain if you're a DJ, like I am. Additionally, running that match hardware through a single multiport will heat up your PC/Mac something fierce, so if you don't have a cooling fan you'll quickly reach maximum core temperatures. Those issues aside, works just fine and I have no complaints. Is compatible with the HP Spectre x360 that only has a single USB C port.

Amazing performance i highly recommend small in size

My older computer does not have USB3.0 so I can't evaluate this hub yet. I went ahead with the purchase anticipating my next computer would be able to take advantage of the USB 3.0. Everything works, i.e. Thumb drives, external hard drives and IOS devices. The only thing that won't work is an external DVD drive. Maybe on my next computer, that will as well

Great for expanding amount of usb ports not so good for charging.

I use this for my PC. I run my mouse and keyboard off of this as well as charge my phone, it will not charge my vape though. But my PC will.

I read numerous poor reviews about this product prior to buying. This was the only option my store had with more than 3 USB ports so I decided to try it. Perhaps I got lucky. The unit feels solidly built (has a nice weight to it). It has a fast charge port for my phone (which was one of my requirements) and the USB 3 standard speeds are met on every port. I have all my peripherals as well as two external hard drives attached and have had ZERO issues. The fast charge port is labeled to make sure you are using the correct port for fast charging (I noted this due to several people saying fast charging doesn't work). This is a powered unit so the amount of items plugged in DOES NOT MATTER. I love it and will buy another if needed.

Put this underneath my desk to hide away and plug in all my usb 3 devices, and it works perfectly. Great build and seems to be made to last, performance is on par with my onboard usb 3 port on computer, and it powers all my devices. Can not ask for more, a bit pricy but got it on sale and haven't looked back since.

This unit is small and has the USB ports conveniently arranged on the side instead of the top making for convenient cable management. USB 3.0 and a charging port also included. Instantly recognized by my iMac. This is a great value.

I had a four port Insignia and the ports seemed to stretch out. The sales person suggested this one even tho it was higher priced. It seems to be working out so far and I hope it doesn't stretch out like the Insignia did.

Bought this for my wife as an expansion hub for her new Dell 2-in-One. worked great right out of the box. The wife hasn't complained so all must be well with the device. Did not plug in the power supply so I can't address that aspect of the product. Docked it a star because it seems a bit pricey for what it does.

I purchased the j5create - 7-port USB 3.0 Hub on October 13. I paid $ 39.99 for the unit and put it to use the day I purchased it. I have two USB 3.0 flash drives, 1 USB 2.0 flashdrive, 1 mouse, and 1 aux. hard-drive plugged into the unit. It is now October 30. The unit has worked great for me. I learned that, on set up, it's best to plug in my devices one at a time, and leave a few minutes in between for my computer to recognize each device. I went too fast, plugging everything in at one time, in a sift set up. As a result some of my devices were unrecognized by my computer. I was ready to return it thinking it was defective until I got the idea to unplug it and start over ─ plugging in each device and waiting about 5-minutes before plugging in each successive device.

Works like advertised, the 7 ports are useful and it's nice that externally powered so you don't have to run into issues of overloading it if you're plugging in a lot of stuff to it.

Great product for expanding USB ports on a notebook. My son needed to expand his notebook ports as notebooks only have two ports, and if using a usb mouse...you are down to one. Fairly simple plug and play adapter.

I seem to have bad luck getting USB ports to last. Hopefully this one will make it past a year. As it is, right now it is performing well and giving me no trouble. Its shape fits in better on my desk as well. Plusses all around.

Nice, streamlined appearance, adding 7 additional usb 3 (backward compatible) ports. The unit comes with an additional cable that plugs into any common 110 wall outlet or power strip sending additional power to the hub. It can be conveniently located or kept out of the way.

Works great, handy item that works for thumbdrives, mouse and printer when I have several devices to plug in

Works exactly as advertised but in reality the situations in which 7 powered USB 3.0 connections are needed are probably more related to charging than to needing that level of thruput x7. Consider what it will be used for as there are better/cheaper ways to keep devices charged if that is the real goal

Working as intended, easy to install and the best solution when you run out of those important usb slots

I purchased this item for my external HDDs which need an external power to work properly. The performance and appearance (small enough to hide behind my laptop) are fair enough. And one power port is very useful when I charge my ipad. But it seems to take a longer comparing the original Ipad charger.

If you need more USB-A 3.0 ports, and only those ports, this powered device gives you 7 of them, 6 on one side, and a seventh on the end opposite the end where the power cord and uplink plug in.
