Anker 10 Port 60W Data Hub with 7 USB 3.0 Ports and 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports for Macbook, Mac Pro/mini, iMac, XPS, Surface Pro, iPhone 7, 6s Plus, iPad Air 2, Galaxy Series, Mobile HDD, and More

It is refreshing to buy a product that exceeds ones expectations but this Anker hub does everything I wanted and more. I am pleased to be able to recommend it 100% and look forward to buying more Anker products.I bought it for the impending delivery of a new iMac and is currently connected to my 2008 Mac Pro. I've had a couple of previous Anker purchases, a Lightning to USB lead and a Bluetooth spekaer. I was impressed by the attention to detail with good quality products where even the packaging is well-designed – on a par with Apple's. This USB hub is the same. A robust little device they have designed thoughtfully so that it is easy to connect 7 USB cables, plus three fast 2.1 amps 'intelligent' charging ports. Even the standard USB ports charge at 0.9 amps. Top data transfer speed is 5Gbps. The hub does not need to be powered but this would defeat the object of having the power-only recharging ports.As I write, the hub has attached to it: two external hard drives, an iPad, iPod, scanner, printer and a couple of memory sticks. Various other USB devices have been plugged in and unplugged such as my record deck, digital camera, iPhone and Kindle. There has been no unexpected glitches, everything worked, the hard drives stay mounted or sleep when the computer does and the charging ports are very fast.I cannot understand the negative reviews that mention leads not staying in the sockets or the device not being recognised. Some of my leads are getting on for 20 years old but stay firmly plugged in. When the hub arrived I just attached it to my 8 year old computer and it worked immediately without needing to restart the computer. The hub has surge protection and supports hot-swapping, something a Mac user would have assumed they all did so I'm glad not to have a nasty shock if it hadn't.For the last 4 days and nights the hub has been working non-stop as I copy files from my old computer to external devices in preparation for my new computer. I can only imagine that the negative reviewers have overloaded the hub which has a maximum output of 10 amps.

I recently purchased the Anker 10 Port 60W Data Hub featuring 7 USB 3.0 Ports and 3 PowerIQ Charging Ports, and I am delighted to share that I am very happy with my purchase. This data hub proved to be exactly what I needed to accommodate multiple USB connections simultaneously.The versatility of this data hub is commendable. It provides the option to use it as both a power source and an extension for USB ports on a PC. This flexibility allows for a seamless integration into various setups, catering to different needs.The inclusion of two cables for each function adds to the overall convenience. Whether using it to power devices or expanding USB connectivity for a PC, having the necessary cables included simplifies the setup process.In summary, if you're in need of a versatile and efficient data hub with multiple USB 3.0 ports and charging capabilities, the Anker 10 Port 60W Data Hub is a highly recommended choice. I am very satisfied with its performance and versatility, making it a valuable addition to my setup.

There's not too much to say about this: having 7 USB 3 ports and 3 charging ports is really helpful and it's a nice, compact and sleek design. It being a powered hub makes it all the more useful for using/charging devices that need that extra power. It installs really easily as well. The only problem is that the USB cable is really quite short; this is fine for use with a laptop, but if (like me) you're using it with a desktop computer then it can make placing it somewhere convenient rather tricky. Not necessarily a deal breaker, but certainly worth bearing in mind.

Initially I gave this one star as shortly after a few weeks past the thirty days mark I noticed that one of the charging ports was faulty, obviously a Friday afternoon job and so at first I was really unhappy even though the actual USB3 hub part of the device had worked completely without problems. Then when I did contact Anker, their response couldn't have been better and if I hadn't sorted it via Amazon, in my opinion deliberately labyrinthine and unhelpful help system, and got a refund via Amazon they suggested in future that if I have a problem with an item of theirs, while I can always go through Amazon, if I contacted them directly with the order number they would happily deal with the issue, whether a refund or a replacement. I should have remembered this as they have done just that in the past when I got a battery pack that developed a fault after a few months.My hub had obviously been a Friday afternoon job with a faulty PowerQi socket, though everything else worked perfectly. But the replacement has worked for over a month with no issues and all sockets in one piece and at the moment has five external HDs plugged in, two 3.5" self powered drives and three hub powered 2.5" drives and my Note Edge on quick charge in one of the PowerIQ sockets.Note: that apart from the Amazon cheap range 7 port USB3 and one of the first old D-Link 4 port USB 3 hubs, this is the only USB3 hub that has worked properly and consistently. All other devices I have tried, three from here and four from other suppliers, have consistently dropped the connection on one or more of the ports or just had ports die after a while. Apart from the charging port fault, and that was a physical fault with a dodgy connector, neither the faulty item I returned or the new replacement device has ever dropped a connection whatever type of device was plugged in.
