I recently purchase this item for a GMKtec NucBoxG3 running Linux. I now have 11 USB 3 ports and 2 USB charging ports. To date I have encountered no issues and the data transfer rate of USB 3 is wonderful. This item worked right out of the box (no tweaking necessary).

With most PC setups you might end up with a bunch of peripherals that need a USB connection. This has plenty of it in the form of faster USB 3.0 speeds and also includes dedicated charging ports which are extremely helpful to have. Since it’s powered, no issues with connectivity and everything works as it should. Keyboard, mouse, external SSD, capture devices - all good to go.

I should have bought one with a few more USB ports but over all it is a good hub. It fits very well on a small desk and works very well. I would order this one from the same vendor again.

quick preface: I'm really clumsy, often dropping things or unplugging stuff by tripping over cables, as well as being pretty rough on things that I own. to the degree that, I might find a more prosperous career in testing dog toys than in software development. My last four usb hubs died to minor spills, wore down over time (a few months of wear) until they were unreliable, a single yanked cable, what-have-you;HOWEVER! I'm happy to report this thing has no such weakness!This thing has withstood FAR more than any of those - living on my desk for the past year, I've plugged and unplugged things hundreds of times, and - sidenote, im the type of person who uses computers 24/7 leaves their(my) desktop on overnight - so this USB hub has also survived EASILY THOUSANDS of hours of CONSTANT UPTIME! No stock OEM/cheap chinese garbage here, this thing is rugged and durable!I personally dont get much use out of the high power USB ports on the side, but they certainly come in handy when every port is being used (which happens to be quite often) and I just need to charge a little gadget. goes way faster than even some wall adapters I have (shoutout apple for making the absolute WORST USB wallsockets). They work quite well for this, and charge quite fast too! I much enjoy rarely needing to crawl under my desk just to charge one thing - extremely convenient.while they see a lot less use, I've had similarly great experiences with my TP-link USB-WiFi dongle and WiFi router. But now with my excellent experience with this product, you can consider me a lifelong customer!

I have to switch frequently between my working laptop and workstation at my desk. Not only it was annoying to switch a multitude of cables, but also my motherboards ports started to wear down over time. On top of that, my devices frequently failed due to high power drain. I went through a couple of non-powered hubs, but they either did not power all devices or were overheating and whistling. However, once I bought this thing never had a single problem. Currently have keyboard, mouse, microphone, web camera, headset, wireless receiver, 2 USB chargers plugged in, all working like clock. I went into bios a couple of times, so hub works pretty well even without drivers. Nice thing, the hub has LEDs to indicate if port connection is good, so I can see if I a cable is not plugged in properly, instead of examining which cable is which. I also bought a second USB 3.0 Micro-B cable and so I can easily switch between my workstations without having to stress my motherboard ports. Things to keep in mind is unusual USB 3.0 Micro-B cable to connect the hub itself, also high power ports do not transfer files and do not support quick charge as far as I can tell. These issues are minor to me, so I can highly recommend this hub!

1. Unit is rock solid in both, performance and build construction.2. The Power and USB Connector interface was redesigned. A tight interference fitment = zero issues.3. Been using this since October 2021 24/7 on a 2014.5 Macbook Pro Retina with zero issues4. The speed / port speed checks out5. The two charging ports charge an iPod Classic 160GB as well as stylus pens and small USB desk lamps.6. Tested on a 2014.5 Macbook Pro Retina running OSX 10.15.3 and Boot Camp running Windows 107. Running memory cards affixed into a USB Media Transfer Hub works flawless and just as good as directly mated to the MBP Laptop Port.8. Even running an iPod works fine - the computer sees it without asking to connect it directly to the MBP.9. Garmin Diesel 740Z mated up charged without issue and was later connected without issue when running firmware and map updates. *See Note10. Firmware updates for the Kinesis keyboard - no issues when connected to the USB Hub. ** See Note* ** NOTE: As a rule of thumb here: I don't recommend getting into the habit of running firmware updates while attached to a Hub. My default recommendation is mating to the laptop ports and bypassing USB hubs in general.The old design issues involving the USB and power connector were designed out and replaced with rock solid fitment. Form, Fit and Function under quality control are superb on the unit I received in October of 2021.USB Front Port Fitment is firm and tight and feels very robust upon insertion without side to side slop like on other ports I've tested. Same applies to the two charging ports on the right side.The Power button always works and never flakes out.USB Hub work with both Windows 10 and Mac OS 10.15.3 without issue. No issues on either Device Manager. This hub is the first one that does not get impacted by sudden power outages or during times of hot swapping devices involving removal of the main USB connector at the laptop port. On OTHER Hubs -upon reconnect post reconfiguring and or cleaning like all the past ports I've had. This is the first and only hub i've used that doesn't require cycling and a total reconnect in a certain sequence regarding connecting external devices to get it working post power outages etc.. This is the first USB Hub I've had that is simply Plug & Play across the board without all the memory issues associated with older style hubs.I run two external Kenisis Ergonomic Keyboards and a Kensington Slimblade trackball setup running off the older version of Kensington's Trackball Works without issue or interrupts / random disconnects. Other USB hubs had issues post sleep / wake / power power wherein, the Kensington Software would not see the trackball thus forcing one to remove the device and reconnect in order to get the software to "see" the trackball. This USB has none of those issues.This is thee best USB Hub out of seven that I've ever used. I'd order another as a backup in fact. I highly recommend this model knowing the issues that plagued older revisions were redesigned and reconfigured with new hardware to remedy those failures.The cats have jumped up and toppled my keyboard trays with trackball off the desk and yanked the USB hub - dangling by the cable and it was still online and connected. These cables are securely fitted into this newly designed hub (Note: Mine was delivered to me October 2021 per order history).The transfer speeds have been just as fast as the laptop ports.Highly Recommend this particular USB Hub. Hopefully, it's going to last many years (reliability). I've only had it since October of 2021. The Hub has been in use nearly 24/7.
