Powered USB Hub 3.0, Atolla 7-Port USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port and Individual On/Off Switches and 5V/4A Power Adapter USB Extension for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini and More.

Plug & Play ready, no software or anything to install. Works great, long enough power cord & USB-C cable, strong and fast connection. Only issue, and this is on me for not paying attention, is that my PC is setup to put the external drives (what I use the Hub for) to sleep when not active, and to power them off when the PC powers down. The Hub having it's own power source doesn't power them down with the PC and I have to manually turn it off. Maybe there is a way to configure it, but I've only had it a few days so I haven't messed with it yet.

I've had a smaller version of this Atolla for years. I purchased a new NAS device that I needed to add external hard drives to, so I relegated the older smaller edition to the NAS and now have more ports on my Dell OptiPlex PC. Works great and I finally have enough USB ports to keep all my cords connected. It is a good value and seems to run fast like the original one. I also like the extra fast charging port that I use to charge my Garmin (and other things). Works with all my devices.

I bought this to replace one I blew up. I accidentally send 20 volts @ 6 amps to the usb port on a project I was building that was connected to the hub. Everything fried. Lucky for me the hub protected my $800 computer and everything attached, except my mouse. Small price to pay compared to what could have happened. Bought another hub and in a day everything is back to normal. I am so glad I was using an Atolla hub.

Worked great for 2.5 years. Added 7 USB3 ports to my PC. Seems like everything is USB so I needed extra ports. Sadly, about 6 months ago, USB 3 devices stopped working. They powered up, but no communication. USB 2 devices though, still work, so I suppose it is the internal circuitry. I checked the port it was plugged into on the computer to be sure it was USB 3, and changed to another USB 3 port, but still no USB functionality in the device. I noticed this first when a High quality, 256g USB3 thumb drive quit working. It still worked in a USB 2 port, but had all sorts of errors on the USB3 port. I believe this hub damaged the circuitry in the thumb drive. It no longer works on any USB 3 port, then stopped working on USB2. Then I noticed that none of my USB 3 devices worked on this hub. So I have no proof, but I believe this hub's internal circuitry failed and damaged my thumb drive. So disappointed, because until this incident, this was a great hub. Heavy wiring, came with power supply, worked flawlessly until it didn't. I am considering replacing it with this same model, but not sure. I have 10 year old USB 2 hubs still working well, and I don't know if this brand is an issue, or maybe similar brands have the same chipset and prone to the same issues. If you ask me a year ago, I would of been 5 stars and a hearty recommendation. BTW, the hub is on a UPS system and surge protected. The port it was connected to is on the motherboard, and the port is fine. So it did not damage my PC or port. Since I use a lot of USB 3 devices now, I am going to remove this, as using it as a USB 2 hub is not useful.

works as expected - has been in service for a couple years so far

If you're anything like me (A Professional DJ/Producer) and if you have a MAC with limited input/output choices this would be the go to solution. For years now I have been having to go behind my MAC to unplug and re-plug USB devices so that I could use them. It's not because of my limited technical knowledge either (certified computer technical support). I could find no solution that I could live with for the price range that I was seeking.. The products that I researched all had low quality parts and components along with no power supply. As you know an Imac generally doesn't have a large power supply unit (for that you need a MAC PRO). To make matters worse my MAC came with a Bluetooth Magic Mouse that is horrible! It drops connection often and doesn't play nice with most rechargeable batteries (the keyboard doesn't have this issue...). I now use an Apple USB Mighty Mouse so that it does not. I have other Bluetooth devices in my home; therefore, I can't see this as being an interference issue the other devices work fine. Now, I don't need to unplug my DJ/Production equipment from the back of my Imac anymore! I'm also going to purchase one of these hubs as a mobile unit for my Macbook Pro. I recommend this for any MAC user that has limited input/output options and would like to expand USB ports/devices. *I also recommend this for any PC user that has this requirement! I utilize PC's in my home network as well and this device has worked flawlessly since I got it. You can power the ports on or off individually which was a major added plus for me. I have no use for all seven other USB 3.0 ports on my PC or MACs. Further all of my PC's have many internal USB 3.0/3.1 ports due to front panel box expansion and additional USB 2.0/3.0/3.1 headers on the motherboard. However, they are nice to have and should I ever require them they're there. The overall quality of the device is impressive for the price. As I stated prior the individual power on/off ports are wonderful, the ports themselves are seemingly study and not flimsy. It has a cord that extends quite a bit to plug into the back/front of any machine in the most awkward situations. You can even charge your IPAD, IPHONE, Tablets, Androids, and others using the charging port on the device. *I was looking for something anything bad & creepy to say about this little cheap device. I could find nothing that's an additional added plus.

Perfectly allows for extra components to synchronize with my laptop like my printer, second monitor, phone charger etc. great buy
