While I have to admit the housing on this is a bit flimsy, only being thin plastic, the unit itself is great, with 7 USB 3.0 ports that provide full power and fast transfer rates. I read someones review on this who said they discovered they didn't need the power supply because the hub worked without it, but you don't want to do that because the ports will not be getting the full power that some devices need to work properly. Without the power supply providing power to the hub, the voltage and amperage coming from the USB port it is connected to on the computer gets split between the ports. So, the more devices that are connected to it, the less power is available to them. The power supply ensures that all devices receive full power at each port. That's the reason for a powered USB hub, to ensure full power is provided to each port and that each device that is connected receives all the power it needs. I'm getting significantly faster transfer rates between my 4 external hard drives and my internal SSD with them connected to this than when I had them connected to the USB 3.0 ports on my computer (and I have 3 other devices connected to it, as well). So, yes, I highly recommend this 7 port powered USB hub.Read full review

Regarding: 7 Port USB 3.0 Hub with On/Off switch I purchased 2 of them, and they performed HORRIBLY. Nothing but GARBAGE!!! The power cable does not go in all the way. And this goes for both of them. I connected 2 external hard drives and 1 mouse, and the hub had a difficult time recognizing the mouse and one external hard drive. I played with it a bit to see if it was due to "user error", but that was not the case. This is of very poor quality. *POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD!* It smelled like burning/hot plastic when I was attempting to use it. I suggest that you all INVEST in a brand name/high quality, other than this poorly constructed paper weight.

Has plenty of USB space and is data thru compatible. This means you can connect to things such as your computer. Also, you can use it as a stand alone charger, no computer required.

If the power cable could be twice the length, it would have been adequate. The length of the usb cable needed to be twice the length also. I had to buy a extra length power cable and get a longer usb cable. Now it works fine.
