There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I can't really review the actual USB 3.0 performance of this thing because my hardware isn't really up to it. I have a computer that was manufactured around the time when USB 3 was first starting to show up and the fastest USB 3 device I have is a Sandisk 64 gig flash drive. I did a test and transferred about 40 gigs of movies to that drive plugged into this hub and I got about 34 MB/s. Not really that fast but still way faster than the crappy USB 2 hub it replaced.
Not a big deal for me. I bought this as a modest upgrade for a very old and junky USB 2 hub. And I bought it because I need a USB hub that works. If I can plug a USB device into it and it works, that's worth 15 bucks.
I guess this is kinda silly to mention in a review but the packaging on this product is well done. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of cardboard but if it is, it's some kind of super cardboard because it has some real weight to it and if you knock on it, it almost sounds like some kind of wood....as odd as that sounds. Not a big deal but I guess it inspires some kind of confidence in a company that bothers to make nice packaging in 2016. I'll probably actually keep that box to store things in.
EDIT - I have found that I have 2 Lexar USB 3.0 drives that do not work with this hub. No idea why. They are the ones with the plastic connectors so maybe that has something to do with it. All my other flash drives work with this.
EDIT #2 (08/01/2016) - OK. Now I have found that my Sandisk USB 3.0 flash drive also isn't being recognized by this. Which is weird because I think it initially was when I first got it. So I don't know what that's about. Now this thing only seems to want to recognize the USB 2.0 devices I have. Which defeats the purpose of specifically buying a USB 3.0 hub. I don't think I can recommend this at this point. The connectors are still very stiff too (despite some use).
With that said, I did NOT buy the power adapter, I wanted to test it first and see if I needed one.
I took this photo with my iPhone 7 Plus that is charging off it just fine. I have a Samsung T3 SSD that is getting the same ~400 read and write speeds it gets directly plugged into the Mac, I also have my Logitech mouse receiver plugged into it, and my Apple Watch charger. Everything was running simultaneously just fine, note my Watch is not being charged in this photo but I did test it.
Except the mouse receiver does get occasional interference causing choppy cursor movements, Sabrent does warn about this though on Amazon and on their website. So expect this, the manufacture does warn about it.
Also don't be fooled by my photo, my Apple USB Superdrive is plugged directly to the back of my iMac. I read Apple doesn't support this device working through even powered hubs, but there might be a work around on the internet *hint
I was tempted to only give 3 stars because the item is not as pictured on Amazon, the item I received is the newest one Sabrent sells directly on their website, which actually has the same photos on their own website. The one I received does have their brand logo on the front beneath the ports, although it is faint and not distracting thankfully. Also an LED which I would prefer not to have shining on all the time. It's a white light, you should be able to see it on my photo.
I was a little annoyed placing it, because the cable that it connects to is short and very stiff. It's hard to put the hub just where you want it and for it to stay there. But for $15, this is an attractive product that functions as advertised.

E abbastanza veloce, avrei preferito che avesse la connessione del cavo non usb 3.0 A ma Type C anche nella parte del hub usb.
Se facessero una versione nuova con il cavo usb Type C, sia sul collegamento al Mac sia al collegamento del hub usb lo prenderei subito.
Avrei fatto anche la base più pesante perché se lo metti sul stesso piano del cavo non basa bene sul piano.
