Anker 10 Port 60W Data Hub with 7 USB 3.0 Ports and 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini, iMac, XPS, Surface Pro, iPhone 7, 6s Plus, iPad Air 2, Galaxy Series, Mobile HDD, and More

This is a pricey product but rightly so. Purchased this product after trying out cheaper hubs. 4 x 2tb drives run seamlessly streaming 24 bit FLAC audio. The drives load up fast and playback is smooth. Recommended product.

Works great on the USB 3.0 ports on my mid-2012 MacBook Pro with 5 different external hard drives, an external SSD, and an iPhone 6 Plus.Works successfully for fast multi-Gigabyte transfers on all of the following:- 3 Western Digital My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 drives (2 & 4 TB) powered by the hub- a Seagate GoFlex external 3.5" 2TB drive (separate power supply),- iPhone 6 Plus (speed-limited by its USB 2 port),- an old 1 TB WD MyBook AV 3.5" eSATA drive (with external power brick) connected via a Newertech eSATA-to-USB-3.0 adapter cable.- a 960GB SanDisk ExtremePro SSD in a 3.5" NexStar CX USB 3.0 external drive enclosure- an Apple/Toshiba 250 GB 5400 RPM 2.5" laptop drive in a Seagate USB 3.0 2.5" enclosureResults:Fast reliable large and small data transfers with all 7 hub data ports connected simultaneously, powering 3 external 2.5" drives. No data loss, no connectivity glitches so far in 3 weeks of heavy use and daily overnight backups of 50-300GB on each of 2-3 WD and Seagate USB 3.0 drives. Excellent throughput on disk-disk copying. Large external in-line power brick stays cool under moderate load.Sample real-world transfer speeds: cloning changes on the Crucial MX200 SSD in my Macbook to external WD and Seagate USB 3.0 drives through this hub, using Carbon Copy Cloner app (highly recommended to clone drives for daily Mac backups!) on Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.6 with internal SATA-II interface:- 136GB, 9850 files in 30 minutes (75 MBytes/sec) to Seagate GoFlex 3.5" 2TB USB 3.0 drive- 123GB, 1580 files in 41 minutes (50 MBytes/sec) to 2.5" WD 2TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0- 42 GB, 11,000 files in 9 1/2 minutes (74 MBytes/sec) from Seagate Momentus XT 2.5" 1TB hybrid drive to Seagate 3.5" external USB 3.0 driveI have a 200 GB Windows 10 Virtual Machine (VM) that I temporarily moved to an external drive, and it runs fine "live" through this hub (not recommended due to the chance of file system corruption if the drive is disconnected while the VM is running).The charging ports on the Ankur hub seem strong; 1 port is delivering 1.02A into my BlackBerry Z10, which maxes out at 1.08A on the best conventional (pre-QuickCharge) USB charger I've ever seen (2A BlackBerry PlayBook charger).Caveat: as expected, wireless peripherals should not be used with USB 3.0 hubs like this one due to radio interference from the USB 3.0 5GHz clock. Instead, am running my Logitech Unifiying Wireless Mouse USB adaptor and the wireless USB base for a MIcrosoft Wireless Keyboard 6000 v2.0 in a separate USB 2.0 hub off the other USB 3 port in my MacBook: a Sabrent Model HB-UMLS 4-port USB 2.0 hub. This has been 100% reliable for over a year, with no loss or delay of keystrokes or mouse gestures through the Sabrent hub, but the same wireless adapters were flakey as expected when I tested them in the Anker USB3 hub.The usual Anker quality is apparent here, and I expect long life from it. "It just works".

You'd think paying this price, it would come with a UK plug too - surely that's not an expensive item to include? Haven't been able to use so 1 star it is 🤷‍♀️

Something I was looking out to procure since a very long time. Really worth to buy

Great product and great service from Anker!Sent an enquiry regarding the product to customer service. They replied promptly and were able to answer all my questions. I have 4 non-powered 5 TB hard drives connected to the hub and it works great. Wanted to connect a 5th drive but ended up using it elsewhere. Highly recommend this product and this company!

This product is not very exciting, and that's a good thing. It's inexpensive (IMO), compact, and "just works".I actually already owned one of these units, and I've had that one a very long time. Long enough that I was surprised to find the exact same model for sale. This gave me confidence a new one would be reliable and functional.I ordered a second one because I have a relatively large number of USB 3.x SSD external enclosures, and was suffering occasional bus drops under heavy drive utilization. I suspected, but did not have proof, that I was drawing too much power from my motherboard's USB interface.A lot of powered USB hubs that accept USB A connectors are kind of large. Other units also take up space and power for other kinds of ports like HDMI or Ethernet. If you need a docking-station type solution, those are great, but I really just wanted 4-5 USB A ports. And because of where the unit was going be placed, I preferred the ports to be on the top, which is also kind of hard to find.After checking to confirm I couldn't easily find an alterative with a similar form factor that offered more bleeding-edge USB 3.1 or 3.2 speeds, I went with this one. For what I am doing with these drives, USB 3.0's 5 Gbps speed cap is fine.The big deal for me was that these units have their own power supply, provided via an eternal "power brick". It seems that my guess that my issue was power-related was right, as I have not seen my external drives drop off since plugging them into the new Anker unit.
