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

Finally, 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.

OK now, this is a big USB hub and just what I was looking for. This hub is just over 12 long and easily handles 16 different devices at the same time. I currently have 15 different devices plugged in and the ports turned on and have no issues. This hub is different from others that I have: - This hub is powered - youll need to plug it into a power outlet. All of the other hubs I have draw power from my computer. - You can turn on/off each port if you wish. I have the unit plugged into my tower PC and have a number of devices charging off of it including two phones, an Android tablet and a Kindle. Ive got an external floppy drive, an external DVD drive, 3 external hard drives, a Bluetooth adapter, a small vacuum and a mouse all plugged into it and no problems or issues. I included a photo of the instruction booklet only because I cant figure out what it is trying to say The 16 port USB 3.0 hub expands your computers Type-A port into seven USB 3.0 (Type-A) ports... Seven? I dont get why it says only seven when it is a 16 port adapter.

This is a large USB hub. 16 ports. Its separately powered from its own included power supply. It works well, both for charging devices and for data transfer. Each individual USB port can be turned on/off with a button next to each port, and each port itself lights up blue if it is on, and no light if it has been switched off. Its quite an impressive USB hub, and glad it has its own power, as it can provide power and charge multiple devices. I was a bit surprised how big it actually is. From the photos, I didnt realize it would be quite this large. And with 16 ports, it needs to be rather big. The design feature of being able to switch off each port is a nice feature. Im also impressed with how little power it draws. At idle, with no devices, it doesnt even register 1 watt draw, even with the power supply and all the 16 LEDs on (this is very good). When devices are plugged in (like an iPhone, iPad, and a few others that are charging), it pulled about 8-10 watts to charge these devices. Impressive design. It works exactly for what I needed, to charge and for data transfer too.

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.

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

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.

This 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.

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.

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.
