7-Port USB 3.0 Hub, IVETTO Data USB Hub Splitter with 3.3ft Long Cable for Laptop, PC, MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac Mini, iMac, Surface Pro and More

It’s just what I want

This was perfect for extending the limited USB port access on my DELL Optiplex 7470.

I did not receive this item and I have never had an issue with Amazon before

After getting a USB headset, my 4-port USB hub wasn't enough anymore. I swapped that hub out with this hub, and I continue to use it to this day. I noticed that it has trouble with some potentially power-hungry USB devices such as my external HDD, but besides that, it's fine.

Enough ports for all my accessories. Reliable and compact.

With 7 ports, I can multitask and complete several projects quickly. I have it connected to two laptops. The cord length is great and allowed me to hide the cord from where I mounted it to my laptops. Works great!

I have a lot of USB connected devices. These really saved me from having to frequently switch out the USB connectors!

There are multiple problems with the Ivetto product. This is disappointing, because I thought the cord length and quality of construction seemed good at first. Unfortunately, I spent two hours confirming there is no doubt the Ivetto product is the cause of multiple problems. I will explain.I use the app called Handbrake a lot for video editing and compression. The first 18 hours went fine. But then there were random disconnects to the Samsung 2.5" SATA III SSD I was using. This is simply not acceptable. Random disconnects like that cannot be tolerated, because it leads to errors with the files and drives.Whenever there are random disconnects like that, I check for errors and data corruption two different ways on a drive. First, I go to "This PC." I then Right-Click the drive I want to scan - which in this instance was drive "g." I then click on "Properties." I then click on "Tools." I then click on "Check" under "Error Checking." This showed there were "Errors" as a result of the random disconnects while being used with Handbrake.The second way I check for errors is to use the Windows feature called "Check Disk" using the "CMD" feature as an "admin." I used this feature on the external SATA III SSD by entering the command as "chkdsk :g /f" with the letter "g" representing the drive that was being scanned. I expected to either see "errors" or "not see errors." But, what occurred because of the 7-port Ivetto product was a NIGHTMARE!When I used "chkdsk :g /f" from "cmd" as an "admin," the entire SATA III SSD disappeared from the PC! When I clicked on "This PC" the drive of "SSD" with drive "g" was no longer visible. I then tried to restart the PC. But the PC froze on the restart. I was forced to manually turn off the power by pushing the "Power" button.I then tried this again. And once again, using "chkdsk :g /f" with "cmd" as an "admin" caused the entire SATA III SSD to completely disappear from "This PC" where all the drives can be seen. Drive "g" simply showed up as having nothing connected to it. I waited a half hour, but nothing came back for drive "g." This time I selected "Shut Down" rather than "Restart." Unfortunately, Windows 10 AGAIN froze. I was AGAIN forced to manually push the "Power" button in order to shut the PC down.I then tried various experiments for trial and error. For example, I turned off the power for the six other inputs. This allowed all the power for the entire device to be used for just the one input. Again, using "chkdsk g: /f" caused the SSD to completely disappear from "This PC" and freeze the PC.I then used several different inputs on the 7-port Ivetto device. This did not solve the problem. Each input I used suffered from the same problem. Each time I ran "chkdsk g: /f" it caused the SATA III SSD to no longer be seen in drive "g" and the computer was no longer able to be Shut Down or Restart.I then tested to see if the SATA III SSD would work with other devices. I tried using this with a 4-port USB 3.0 expansion from Anker. The command of "chkdsk g: /f" successfully worked with the 4-port USB 3.0 expansion from Anker.I then tested to see if the SATA III SSD would work with a USB input directly connected to the PC. When I ran the command of "chkdsk :g /f" the SATA III SSD worked 100% fine with the USB input directly connected to the PC.I then wanted to see what would happen if I tried using a 2.5" HDD while connected to the Ivetto 7-port Device. When I ran the command of "chkdsk g: /f" there were again severe problems. After just a couple seconds, I audibly heard the mechanical 2.5" HDD turn off. This is presumably the same thing that happens to the SSD. I went to "This PC" and saw drive "g" and the HDD were no longer visibly shown in the menu as a device connected to the PC. However, after about ten seconds, the 2.5" HDD returned as a visible device in "This PC." The results for "chkdsk :g /f" said there were no errors. But, this ended up not being correct.I then disconnected the 2.5" HDD from the 7-port the Ivetto device. I connected the 2.5" HDD directly to the PC. I ran "chkdsk :g /f" on the 2.5" HDD. The results showed there were now "9 Errors" that were corrected by Windows. There is no doubt these "9 Errors" occurred when the Ivetto product temporarily shut down the 2.5" mechanical HDD.I then decided to run this command of "chkdsk g: /f" on a 3.5" powered external hard drive. The command of "chkdsk g: /f" successfully worked with the Ivetto device. This strongly suggests the problem with the 7-port Ivetto device is that it does NOT supply enough power to the 2.5" non-powered SSD or the 2.5" non-powered HDD.BOTTOM LINE: I do not recommend the 7-port Ivetto USB device. The Ivetto product had random disconnects with my SATA III 2.5" SSD. The Ivetto product also had severe problems when using Windows Commands such as an external scan using "chkdsk :g /f" in ways that caused the PC to be unable to "Shut Down" or "Restart" at all. The only way the computer could be turned off was manually pushing the "Power" button. "Errors" then appeared on the 2.5" SSD and 2.5" HDD.
