RSHTECH 7-Port Powered USB 3.2/USB C Hub with 10Gbps USB-A 3.2, 2 USB-C 3.2, 4 USB 3.0 Ports, Individual Touch Switches, 3.3ft Cable and 5V Power Adapter, USB Hub Splitter for Laptop/PC, RSH-ST07C

This 7-port USB 3.2/3.0 hub has been the ideal addition to my system because I am always transferring large multimedia files to and from my computers. This 7 port hub, which is an upgrade from a prior no-name 4 port hub, operates with the same dependability and transfer speeds when using the USB 3.2 ports. The simplicity of having two more USB-C connections that let me carry fewer wires for various devices is something I particularly value. Additionally, the dual USB-A/USB-C input cord made switching between my iPad Pro and desktop computers easy and eliminated the need for an adapter or switching cables. The item seems sturdy despite being constructed of plastic, and the blue LEDs glow nicely without being overly bright. Its slim design and detachable cable make it incredibly portable and stowable. Additionally, if you have an ancient spinning drive or other power-hungry device, the accompanying 5V power adapter is a wonderful choice. Nevertheless, I have been able to operate the hub regularly using only the computer bus power. It operated a Samsung NVME SSD and a WD Elements external drive in an enclosure flawlessly, with no discernible slowdown in data transfer. Because the ports are situated on top, using one hand to plug and unplug devices is simple. Yes, that is how lazy I am. A fast touch for "on" and a two-second hold for "off" will make using the soft touch power buttons surprisingly simple and responsive. After utilizing the hub with a variety of devices, I soon realized how convenient it was to leave them plugged in and simply use the power buttons to turn each device on or off. At first, I didn't understand why the hub had power buttons but now I love them. Overall, having this hub on my desktop has been enjoyable. My expectations have been pleasantly met in terms of both performance and convenience. It has been operating beautifully up to this point and transfers data at the 3.2 and 3.0 speeds that were promised. On both my Mac and PC, it simply plugs and plays without requiring the installation of any extra drivers or software. This 7-port hub is a no-brainer for those of you with more recent computers that have few USB ports, especially at this low cost. Strongly advised. Well constructed, the power and connection cords appear to be of good quality, the hub's markings are easy to read, and the USB, USB 3, and USB-C ports are all prominently displayed. I adore that you have the option to turn off or turn on the devices you wish to be online separately. Both PCs and Macs can use the powered hub. The device barely takes up any room on my desk and is around the size of one of my SSD drives. I'd suggest this gadget to anyone in need of a powered hub. Additionally, the setup was really simple—it was plug-and-play.

UPDATE: This hub worked great and while it worked was the best most reliable hub I've owned. Then today just shy of two years since I bought it, it died. It sad that getting two years out of a USB hub is actually good performance. Time to buy another USB hub. AGAIN. So glad I found this hub. It was strangely hard to find a hub that provided both multiple usb-C and usb-A connections AND hi-speed USB. I have a 4k webcam that requires the high speed usb connection and several devices that I plug into my laptop (microphone, keyboard, mouse, etc). This hub handles everything just fine and the on/off switches are a nice touch. I tried two other hubs before this one and even though they claimed to have hi-speed usb when everything was plugged in the camera would flicker and/or just quit working. I was beginning to think that my camera was at fault, but thankfully this hub solved my problems (and for a pretty reasonable price!) It's been running for a couple of weeks with no issues. Will update this review if I encounter any, but so far it's perfect.

Works well. I like the layout which allows for larger thumbdrives to fit unlike some ports that are configured so that all but the smallest thumbdrives won't fit next to each other.

As an A/V professional I am constantly moving large multimedia files to and from my machines and this 7 port USB 3.2/3.0 hub has been the perfect addition to my setup. Upgrading from a previous RSHTECH (ROSONWAY) 4 port hub this 7 port hub performs identically in terms of transfer speeds and reliability when using the USB 3.2 ports. I especially appreciate the convenience of having two additional USB-C ports allowing me to keep fewer cables around for different devices. Also having the dual USB-A / USB-C input cable made it convenient going between my desktops and iPad Pro without having to switch cables or use an adapter. Although made of plastic the unit feels solid and the blue LED's have a nice glow and are not overwhelmingly bright. The form factor is sleek with a detachable cable making it quite portable and easy to stow. And the included 5V power adapter is a great option for when you have a power hungry device like an old spinning drive. However, in daily use I have been able to use the hub with just the computer buss power. It powered both a WD Black gaming drive and a Crucial P5 NVME SSD in an enclosure just fine without any noticeable data transfer lag. The ports are oriented on top which makes plugging and unplugging devices easy with one hand. Yes, I am lazy like that. And the soft touch power buttons are surprisingly responsive and are easy to use once you get the hang of doing a quick touch for "on" and 2 second hold for "off". At first I didn't understand why the hub included power buttons but after using it with many different devices, I quickly appreciated the convenience of leaving them plugged in and to just use the power buttons to turn each device on or off. Slick! All in all, I've been enjoying having this hub on my desktop. The convenience factor and performance has pleasantly met my expectations. It transfers data at its promised 3.2 and 3.0 speeds and has been performing flawlessly thus far. It was plug and play without having to install any additional drivers or software on both my Mac and PC machines. For you folks with newer machines with very few USB ports this 7 port hub is a no-brainer especially at this bargain price. Highly recommended.

I have an older KATUMO 4+1 USB3 hub with LEDs for each port but 3x of the LEDs completely failed. Also, the older KATUMO turns ports on with a click button: tap = on, press and hold 2secs = off. For my old hubs ports with dead LEDs, it is hard to tell if they are on or off since the buttons give no indication as they just click. Note, when all the LEDs worked, they were very bright. The new RSHTECH RSH-516 USB3 Hub has buttons that extend above the hub slightly, when a port button is pressed down it turns the port on and locks at a lower level almost flush with the hub's body. Pressing the button down again will release the button back to it's higher level and turn the port off. What's really nice about the new RSHTECH buttons is *if* the LEDs fail, the buttons will physically indicate their state: pressed in = on, out = off. The RSHTECH LEDs are not bright at all unlike my older hub. If a USB cable is blocking my direct view of the LED, I can't see the blue light. This is what I want, a just bright enough LED for each port. Also, the RSHTECH has an aluminum body that is much smaller than my older 4+1 hub's plastic body. The RSHTECH also has a detachable USB3 data cable so I can use longer cables or a right angle cable if needed. I did some basic USB3 data speed tests using a USB drive and phone comparing a direct port connection and connection via the RSHTECH. The speeds were within 1%. Overall, this is just what I wanted: compact, LEDs that work and are not too bright, and buttons that indicate the power state.

My office needed this self-powered USB hub for connecting a bus-powered flatbed scanner to a bus-powered USB switcher so the scanner could be shared reliably with two computers. Without it, the bus-powered USB devices simply drew too much power for the USB daisy chain to stay connected. Definitely worth it.

I used it as a usb 3 hub vs usbc: Connected this usb hub to the PC using a 33 ft active usb 3.2 cable. I Connected a 25ft VR link cable to the hub, it worked, as well as QCC pro2 dongle, a second set of keyboard and mice, and a usb DAC. It all worked flawlessly. I didn’t even need the power for the keyboard and mouse alone. This still probably is not as high use as plugging in a single hard drive, though.

UPDATE - Taking away two stars. Today, October 3, 2020, this hub was found to be the problem when loud speaker buzzing greeted me upon opening my laptop. I tested the speakers without the hub and they were fine, and I tested the laptop sound and it was fine. So - the problem was the middleman - the USB hub. It's now in its box. I can use it someday for something I am sure, but with caution because there is obviously something akimbo in the electronics and the current flow. With it in the chain to my laptop, when I touch the speaker jack into the port for it on my MacBookPro the low buzz sounds again, so no go. Too bad - because this was a great solution to battery heat on the laptop. I will leave my original review here as well. I imagine the problem is quality control and some are good and some are not. I like that it is powered and tiny. The four USB ports having their own power switch is so cool. I wanted this to plug in the USB for my speakers, rather than power them through the laptop. Reason being the laptop stayed warm even when no one was on it because of the speakers pulling power through the laptop battery for the speaker lights. When I figured this out I decided to power them with a powered hub and plug the sound in the jack. Works fine. :) I don't have the hub plugged into my laptop at all. But when the need arises I shall certainly use it that way too. No idea what the guy was talking about who said you'd need another cord. I don't have a really new laptop and this thing plugs into my USB 2 port just fine - I tested it with its own USB cord - the cordage is all under the device in the cute little box it comes with, For this price I was very happy. I put the glasses there to really see the scale of this thing. :)

Compact little USB hub with individual switches per port and vertical orientation like I wanted. Problem is I ordered this to use with four 8bitdo Bluetooth adapters, and after plugging them in quickly realized my controllers no longer worked unless I was a foot or two away. Thinking the adapters were too close together I only plugged one in, and had the exact same issue. Switching to a different USB hub restored the normal 30+ foot range, so I can only assume this one was generating some kind of EMF that affected the 2.4ghz range.

Okay

Funciona bien, muy práctico para tener todos tus dispositivos en orden en 1 sólo cable.

Works great. I'm happy with the product.

Siempre usen la fuente de alimentación con sus puertos Hub. Se los digo por experiencia así les va a durar más años. Ya llevo como un año con este Puerto y ha estado excelente.
