Review: PERFECT 7-Port USB 3 Switched Powered Hub! UPDATE November, 2019 - The PERFECT USB3 Switched & Powered 7-port Hub!!! The "Sabrent HB-BUP7 USB 3.0 7-Port Hub with Individual Power Switches, LEDs & 36W Power Adapter" is the answer to my 3-year search for a switched & powered hub that actually works properly with Windows 10 computers! I tried all the others, cheap & expensive, and they all failed to function properly with external hard drives. But THIS Sabrent hub finally allows me to turn my external drives on and off reliably without the constant plugging & unplugging of before. My hard drives are all 2.5" USB 3 port-powered, drawing their power from the hub's ports. This is the ONLY hub that provides stable, adequate power to its ports with multiple connected hard drives so they don't drop their connections in the midst of a large data transfer or corrupt the data being transferred between drives. NO OTHER HUB HAS EVER BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT REGARDLESS OF COST! I was going to buy the Sabrent 10-port version of this hub but I ended up buying the HB-BUP7 7-port hubs and daisy-chained them (14 usable ports) because they come with a nice, compact power adapter while the 10-port version uses the big, bulky Euro-style power brick with two cords that I don't like. Although Sabrent hubs have never been my favorites in the past because they were flakey in function when connecting external hard drives as described above, THIS ONE IS A WINNER! If you want rock-solid performance and data reliability, BUY THIS "HB-BUP7" HUB! UPDATE: November, 2019 I've been using these hubs now for more than six months to connect multiple portable and external USB 3 hard drives, thumb drives, DVD burners, you name it and their operation is absolutely FLAWLESS. They are powered on 24/7 and never have a glitch or a failed data transfer of any kind. The ABSOLUTE PERFECT USB 3 HUB = https://www.desertcart.com/Sabrent-Charging-Individual-Switches-HB-B7C3/dp/B079GT1ZVS/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=sabrent%2Busb%2B3%2B7%2Bport%2Bhub%2Bswitches&qid=1573509234&sr=8-3&th=1
Review: Better than what I had before - Addenda 2021 0701 Recently a problem or rather a mysterious phenomena as arisen. I keep getting Microsoft's code 43 error: USB device (hub) is not recognized. Windows Notifications and Device Manager report that there is a USB device that is not recognized. Notifications is worthless and Device manage is wrong in some way. It never reports exactly what device they are talking about, but I determined it was the Sabrent 7 port hub. The anomaly is that the drives plugged into the hub (one 10tb, two 8tb, and one 4tb) are all recognized and work flawlessly; flash drive data transfers work as well in the midst of the data transfers. I just accomplished a six day back up (7tb of data) without a hitch except for the time it took. After which Microsoft insisted and started installing some sort of updates without bothering to ask; from what I could see they were, as usual, cosmetic. That's when the "problem" appeared. Not one web support site offered a solution that worked (I tried several). Since then I have had this wrinkle. I have no reason to blame Sabrent, and every reason to blame Microsoft except their support is completely opaque. It is not a driver problem. I still stand by my original opinion (see below) it is a good hub it has not wrecked anything yet. The hub still operates as well as it has been, even though Windows can't bring itself to recognize its presence. End addenda (2021 This hub works so much better than the one I used to use it is hard to find any downside. Only a couple minor complaints the on/off buttons work really well except for their color they are hard to see in dim light being a dark gray against a black background. I put a small usb night light in one of the unused ports. That works well. The other complaint, space at my end is tight, I wish the power cable were a little longer so I could run both the data cable and the power cable into the hub from the same direction. The power source to my former hub was in two parts and was not a problem; except designed with weaker output. Anyway I get sufficient power to run three disk drives (two 8tb, one 4tb drives) a BluRay burner, an occasional docking station , and the night light. It's a much better design. I can now switch on and off individual units as needed. But wait, that's not all... it has a considerably smaller foot print on my already over crowded desk.
