User questions & answers

Question:	I have 2 external hard drives: 1 is 500 GB, 1 is 2 TB. Both have their own power cords. Will they work with this hub
Answer:	yes they will, I have a 3 tb WD, a 2 tb Fatom,and a 1tb HP they all work fine, and and any thumb drive that I plug in syncs right up.Some of the thumb drives are usb 2.0 , no problem
Question:	What is the recommended ac adapter to use with this
Answer:	JTJ said he didn't have a power jack. Either there is more than one version or he has one but didn't find it. It would be easy to miss. It's next to the USB cable. For basic devices, like a mouse, keyboard, etc, you do not need a power supply. The computer will power them, but the current the computer will supply is limited. If you plan to charge a smart phone, tablet, or something like that you should make the adapter part of your plans.(http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-100V-240V-Adapter-Support-PS-5V4A/dp/B00MRGKPH8 )
Question:	If I plug this into a 2.0 USB port on my CPU, will I still get the benefit of Sabrent's 3.0 speed? Or is it about time I update my motherboard? Thanks
Answer:	@T. Freese: No. The nature of USB is that devices can not communicate among themselves. All communication goes through the host computer. So a pair of 3.0 devices sharing a hub attached to a 2.0 computer will communicate at 2.0 speeds.
Question:	Does the fact that each has a switch mean that you can just turn each of them off without doing "safely remove" or "eject" devices
Answer:	The reason that you use the Windows Option to safely remove the drive is so that windows has a chance to close any File Pointer that is in use. If this is not done, then there is a chance that the file(s) will be locked and/or corrupted the next time the drive is accessed.So. It is recommended that you safely remove the drive before you hit that power switch on the hub.I have this hub and use it to access 1 4TB drive, 2 5TB drives and 1 8TB drive. That is a LOT of data to loose just because I got lazy.The one reason to have switches on a hub is so that you can have the drives OFF when not in use. This will save some life on the hard drive.Lance

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this with my microsoft surface 3 to use my mouse and my thumb drive
Answer:	You can connect data transfer devices like hard drives to ports 1 and 7 and they will operate the same as with ports 2 through 6.
Question:	Does it work well with apple charging cables, does it charge fast
Answer:	MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you so much for reaching out to us! Ports 1 & 7 on the USB3-HUB7C are BC 1.2 charge ports, so they will charge any connected USB devices that supports BC 1.2 charging abilities, and this will not be change even if the hub is connected to a macOS or Windows based system. Due to the hub having its own Power Supply, as long as the hub is on, it does not even have to be connected to a host system in order for ports 1 & 7 to charge connected devices.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can i use this with my microsoft surface 3 to use my mouse and my thumb drive
Answer:	It needs to be thrown the GARBAGE...it is JUNK...but, NO, it does not plug into an outlet it plugs into TWO of your USB ports using one for power
Question:	Can i use this as a usb splitter on my tv
Answer:	No idea But mine was a piece of junk...did not work Waited too long to try it out so missed the return window with Amazon Don’t waste your money on this one...pick another
Question:	Does it work well with apple charging cables, does it charge fast
Answer:	There is a port for DC power. There was no DC power supply with mine. Not sure why you'd make it that way and not include the power supply, but as long as the USB peripherals you plug in don't draw a lot of power, either individually or collectively, you shouldn't need the supplementary power.
Question:	Can this be used with
Answer:	I also like to know what are the DC adapter spec. I bought the USB Hub to connect several portable hard drives. Unfortunately, it froze and corrupted my computer when transferring data between ubs drives. I suspect it was because the usb hub needs power direct from a DC adapter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use 220 volt outlet
Answer:	I've got a thumb drive, joystick, mouse, and cooler master laptop fan all hooked up to this thing at the same time. It's a vital little accessory for laptops with too few USB ports.
Question:	Could this power a collection of low-current LED reading lights without an external power supply using a battery designed to recharge phones
Answer:	You can use a USB Hub as a splitter, but not the other way around. A splitter cannot be used as a hub because the female connectors cannot communicate with each other.
Question:	Does the Usb 3.0 charge an iPhone faster
Answer:	It charges my devices just fine. It's just not a fast charger. I can have my android watch, fitbit, and logitech gaming headset charging at the same time and they all charge just fine though.
Question:	Is a power adapter required
Answer:	yes.If you plug this hub into a USB 2.0 port on your PC it will function just fine as a USB 2.0 hub (not USB 3.0). If you plug this into a USB 3.0 port on your PC you can plug both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices in and they will work correctly (USB 3.0 devices will work as 3.0 devices at the higher USB 3.0 speed; USB 2.0 devices will work as 2.0 devices at the lower USB 2.0 speed).
