> 24 hourWow. 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.

> 24 hourPros: 5.11v power consistent to all ports Full-speed to devices Power off or Power on each port without removing the device Light indicating power or off for each port Long cord to the power supply and long cord from the power supply Cons: Nothing of note Item of Note: Speed will depend on how fast your device (e.g., USB stick) and how many devices are in active use, meaning how much data is being sent/received at the same time. Wow, this thing is a good foot long and looks great. Measured port power didnt fluctuate even with unpowered hard drives (like a WD passport) being connected) in addition to USB flash drives. File transfer speed was at full rated speed and was the same as if I had the drive directly connected. I tested with a very fast drive and a slow drive at the same time, as well as two similar normal USB 3.0 drives. I transferred data simultaneously without issue. Speed did vary as the full bandwidth of the computers USB port was shared among the devices. This comes with a 12v power supply, which has a long power cord to the supply and another long power cord, ending in a barrel connection for connecting to the hub. This should provide plenty of length for you to place it where need, although it will require being within 3-feet of your computers USB port due to the length of the connector. The connector is a thick USB 3 cable with at Type-A male end. Each port lights up in blue. If a device is in the port, you can press an individual button to turn off the device and it will disconnect from the system. Likewise, you can turn it back on again using the same method. Bottom Line: If you have lots of drives, drives that you use but not all the time, and limited ports, this hub can handle it. Power off and back on without removal the device.

> 24 hourThis USB splitter works just as promised, which surprised me. Its so handy to keep on the desk for my notebook to use. The data throughput is consistent with USB 3.0 protocols, which is great. My one big complaint: couldnt the manufacture put some USB-C ports on the hub? Its unlikely someone would need 16 standard USB ports, so why not put some modern connections? The only reason I didnt dock any stars for the lack of USB-C ports is because you can see that before you order. Its just bad form for the manufacturer to be stuck in the dark ages.

> 24 hourThis was surprisingly large for a computer usb hub. It has 16 ports, each with its own individual power button and LED light to show if its active or not. The hub data link to usb-a port, is hardwired into the hub. A power supply with 12 volts/ 6 amps is provided in the box. This hub is great for people that dislike plugging and unplugging cables. Each port is capable of charging and data, so its a huge expansion perk for any computer.

> 24 hourThis is a lot larger than I was expecting, but its very nice to expand my USB3.0 ports. I like that it has individual on/off control for each port, and so far I have no complains. Speeds are good, and no connection issues or errors.

> 24 hourIve 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.

> 24 hourFinally, we have a nice station to charge most of our devices in a single, central location. Im sure there are other hubs like this out there, but its my first. I like being able to switch on or off each USB port. I dont understand why items like this dont come with mounting hardware so it can easily be fixed in place, but I cant deduct stars from it since hardly any power strips or things like that come so equipped. Thats just my preference. Overall, a good buy.
