Atolla 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with 4 Data Ports, 1 Smart Charging Port, Individual On/Off Switches and 5V/3A Adapter

UPDATE... The seller contacted me and then sent a replacement hub. The hub I originally bought was just flawed, and the new one works as it should. The new hub I received seems to be a bit of an updated version, and I love the fact that the fast charging port in located on the top instead of the side, and that there is now even a power button for it. The new hub actually runs faster than the first one I received, and I have no more issues with restarting or with the hub dropping assigned drive letters. I'm running 3 WD Black gaming HDD's through the new hub, and they're running as they should. I have video and photo editing software, along with AutoCAD software on the drives, and bought the gaming drives because they're faster. The software has been running smoothly through the new hub. I was pretty upset in my original review because not only is the software installed on the drives, but work is also saved on them. This allows me to travel with just the drives, which also uses the same drive letter across all the PC's I use. The new hub doesn't cancel out the assigned drive letter forcing the PC to issue new ones. I would buy another hub, providing it's the same model as the replacement I received. Also... Thing runs pretty cool under lengthy usage, and even the power unit has not been getting hot. So good job with the design on this model!! The hub worked great until 5 days ago. It has since stopped working 2 times in the past five days. I have one SSD, 1 HDD, and a mouse plugged into it. Stuff on my drives are used for work and leisure. I've had to restart my computer and then go into computer management and re letter both drives to to their previous letters so apps and shortcuts will find software. I also have to use an app to install specific software, and the app doesn't recognize the software even after repairing the path, so I've had to reinstall software twice so far. I have been looking on the internet for a more stable hub, and ended up spending a lot more money. I guess you get what you pay for, even when it comes to usb hubs.

works good and is a good value, seems to be holding up...

Work great, very sturdy and well made

Mine lasted 3 years until it gave up the ghost. I may have demanded too much from it, or it may have been zapped by a power surge. I'm not sure. The usb connection still works, but it is no longer being powered via the power adapter. At the price point, I guess I can't expect it to last forever. I have a 7-port version that is still working - purchased around the same time.

I have two of these hubs. They are quite useful.

This little gadget is absolutely fantastic! My grandson was freaking out because my new laptop doesn't have enough places for him to plug in all his devices. I found this with same day delivery, so within a few hours, all our problems were solved. It's nice that each of the four ports have their own On/Off switch. It is perfectly compatible with my new Dell laptop. I love the blue light indicators showing which ports are being used, and its size doesn't take up much space. Just plug and go -- no complicated set-up. It's plugged in and working all day every day. Man, I could have used one of these years ago, but I didn't know they existed. Highly recommend.

Great purchase. I'm a coder so this is a necessity for me, it's used 24 hours a day, all outlets have worked perfectly since day one and still do. I hope I don't have to but I would buy again if I need more.

The product was received in optimal condition: with appropriate packaging and careful handling during shipping. It works without any inconvenience.
