Power USB Hub 3.0, atolla 16 Port USB Splitter with 12V/6A Power Adapter and Individual Switches, High-Speed Data Transfer for Laptop, PC, Mac, and More Devices

I LOVE THIS THING! My laptop only has 2 ports and I need to have access to way more than that to run my programs. this hub is INCREDIBLE! The main board plugs into an outlet, so your computer isnt powering the big strip. you can turn on and off power to each hub. very nice

This is a great USB hub. If you like to play flight/racing simulators this is great to have on the ground to hook up all of the controllers... with room to spare. I also transferred files to a USB drive with great speed. Love the external power as well... to charge devices. This is a big unit... but it has a earned a place at my gaming PC.

Wow. That pretty much sums up my initial reaction when I got this out of the box. This hub is just freaking huge (just over a foot long) and the 12/6A power supply is also large and quite heavy. The overall construction seems good and it seems to work well. Having the ability to easily add this many USB3 ports is quite nice in some situations, especially as they all should have a full power budget thanks to the large external power supply for the hub. For my own purposes, this is going to be a blessing for when I have to do an annual update of safety and training videos onto flash drives. I have typically been doing them in groups of four while watching TV in the evening, but being able to start 16 loading at once and then just come back and check on them is going to save me SO much hassle. Basically, this hub is massive and not for everyone, but if you need it, you need it, and this one should serve you well.

This is a powered USB 3.0 hub 3.0 with ports. Now that may seem like a simple sentence, but it isnt. In fact, USB hubs that claim to support USB 3.0 do not. The Atolla hub does. In addition it is powered. That mean that you need to plus it in. Many hub use what is called bus power. That mean that the power that they use is drawn fro the computer or device that they are connected to. That can put a strain on your system if you are using a lot of USB ports for power or charging. Having your own power supply for the hub is nice. Atolla claims that the hub delivers 12V/6A of power. My testing confirms that. Also Atolla clams USB 3.0 data transfer rates. Again, I have conformed that. So far, the Atolla is stacking up pretty well. Speaking of power, the 16 ports on the hub are individually switched. That can save money and heat. When you with a port off, the led light for the port also goes off so that you can visually determine if a port is on or not. That is nice. Atolla also claims fast charging speeds. While that is true, the Atolla does not support the latest quick charging standards. In the world of electronics, especially consumer electronics, a lot of manufacturers make all sorts of performance claim that they do not meet. Im happy that Atolla delivers what they promise.

This is the largest powered USB hub I’ve ever had, and I’ve got a bunch. This is a 3.0 rated connection and using a 256 GB thumbdrive, the Crystalmark is right on target with the same drive in direct 3.0 link as well as in other computers. I tested all slots and they all work the same. Be aware that to shut down a slot you need to press the slot button for about 2 seconds. Turn on is instant. This is a good anti-goof feature. 6 amp power supply. Main USB cable is permanent connect. 5 stars Note: I have been an Amazon customer for almost 20 years. I write all of my reviews to reflect my personal observations and opinions on a product. It matters not if I have purchased the item myself or if it was provided to me for review. My goal is to provide other potential customers as much real-world knowledge as possible to make an informed decision. In most cases I will return to my review in 6 months or less to see if I should alter my original observations. In no case will the cost of a product influence my opinions at all. In addition, I will try to include multiple images and or videos on each product, if practical.

I ordered this 16-port USB hub because I always have many devices to charge; such as cell phones, tablets, smart watches, headphones, portable batteries, and other things as well. I had been using a 3-port USB charger at my desk, but I was always having to unplug one device to charge another. With this hub I can leave the cables for all of the devices I charge on a regular basis plugged in, so that will save me a lot of time. Although this hub can also be connected to your computer and used to access flash drives or portable hard drives, my primary computer already has enough ports for those devices, so for me this hub will only be used for charging. The big complaint I have is the lack of USB-C support. This is 2023, not 2013. There is no excuse for any product like this that is being sold today to not have full support for USB-C. The main cable that is used to connect this hub to your computer should be USB-C, not USB-A. And at least half of the 16 ports should be USB-C. If Atolla would update this product to include those changes, I would give it 5 stars. But although this is a fine piece of hardware and it solves a big problem for me, I cant give it a perfect rating without USB-C support.

Ive used a few atolla USB Hubs in the past, and Ive always been very impressed with them. This 16-port USB hub definitely stands up to the high-quality level of their other products. It is physically huge, but its capability and power capability make it worth the price.

It took a bit of negotiating to remove the mass of USB cables plugged into my desktop and install this monster, but it was worth it. I am now running my keyboard, mouse, keyboard pass-through, Bluetooth adapter, speakers, and headphones through this hub and still have lots of room for zip drives, external hard drives, and cameras, among other things. And its nice to be able to switch any of them off without having to unplug them. Really nice to be organized. Recommend.

I run a server that has two USB hard drives and 6 USB audio boards that provides 6 online police scanner feeds - this USB hub really helps keep me connected and still have room for more plugins.

Now days every thing is going to USB plugs. This power strip doesn’t disappoint. Many plug to plug in. Each plug has an individual switch. 16 ports in all.
