Good USB 3 hub. One minor issue -

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

It appears to be a pretty solid USB 3 hub. Nice to have buttons that turn power on or off to each port.
Be aware sometimes plugging in a new high power or data device may pause another port briefly. For example, when I plugged a portable hard drive in, the moment I pushed the power button to that port, my audio interface plugged into a different port disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. Then both were connected and seemed to work fine. But there may be an issue with high power devices affecting other ports.
Other than that it is a solid unit with plenty of ports.

Failed when I needed it most

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

My laptop has three USB ports and I needed access to four for use at a conference of 3,000 people, using Cat5 cables and boosters. On the first day, everything was tested and in working order right out of the box (as shown in the first picture). On the second day, when it was to be used in a live setting, the top four USB docking stations went dead upon powering up the device (again, as shown). To compound the matter, the three working USBs weren't recognized by my laptop. Long story short, I powered off and unplugged both the docking station and cold booted my laptop. After restarting everything, nothing changed. In a pinch, I had to run to Best Buy and get a small Insignia four-port docking station. The Insignia docking station worked just fine. Disappointed in this Sabrent product to say the least; I returned it.

Great Product but USB Hubs Can’t Increase Number of USB Devices

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2021

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

This is a great product. Recommended.

I ran into a problem with my Late 2012 iMac and initially thought this USB hub was the problem. Turns out, USB hubs do not change how many USB devices can be plugged into your computer. That number is determined by the USB bus inside your computer, and different computers have different limits depending on both hardware and implementation. The crux is “USB endpoints”, how many your computer has available, and how many endpoints each of your devices use. The issue can get very complex and if you’re interested you can Google it.

The error message i was getting was “Disk not ejected properly” and my USB drives were randomly un-mounting themselves. All that meant was I have more USB devices plugged in than the Mac can handle. I have an Anker 10-port USB hub and this Sabrent 7-port USB hub connected. Plugged in I had: 6 external hard drives, web cam, drawing tablet, audio DAC, keyboard, mouse, blueray drive, wireless headset, and UPC battery backup. 14 devices in all.

To solve this I moved all external hard disks to the Anker hub, and put everything else on the Sabrent hub. Then using the Sabrent hub’s nifty on/off buttons, I turned off the USB ports for the devices I rarely use. In general, I read that it’s best to keep the high speed devices on one hub and low speed devices on the other hub. The problem i had is not Mac specific, it can happen to any computer. Hope this helps someone. :)

PERFECT 7-Port USB 3 Switched Powered Hub! UPDATE November, 2019

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019

Size: 7-PortVerified Purchase

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.amazon.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

Great Adapter! Powers all my MIDI controllers.

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2021

Size: 7-PortVerified Purchase

Been using this adapter for a while now and it's great! I did a stupid amount of hours of research behind powered USB hubs and this is what I landed on. The construction is really durable and I LOVE being able to press the buttons to turn my devices on and off.

I'm a music producer so I use these to power various MIDI controllers and an audio interface. I've ran with 6 of the 7 ports all powered on at one time and all my controllers light up nice and none of these seem to be void of any power. No communication problems with my iMac!

A note about powered adapters and USB mics, you will see on ALL powered USB hubs that reviewers are complaining of a buzz coming from their USB mics. This has to do with a grounding/power issue running through these adapters that gets picked up in the USB cable of the mic. I guarantee you this will happen on any powered USB hub on the market. If you're using a USB mic, run it through an unpowered adapter. At some point it would be worth investing in a microphone that runs through an audio interface. I run an audio interface powered exclusively through USB into this HUB and I get no buzzing on the audio from the inputs of my interface. Something important to consider.

Mr. Harry C. A. Wright

Gets my official seal of approval (and works on Linux)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2019

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

I've had issues with powered USB 3.0 hubs before, but this works a charm. As you can see in the photo attached to this review, I have my Samsung Galaxy S8 charging via one of the "Smart Charging Ports" and drawing 1.36A of current (compared to a measly 0.48A that I usually get from a regular port).

Build quality:
The build quality is decent, but it's a little light side. This is good if you're planning on lugging it around all day, but it probably won't stand up on its own if you have 10 ports plugged in and there's no way of securing it to a worksurface via screwholes or the like. This gets 4 stars out of 5 from me, maybe if they stuck a lead weight in the case it would get 4.2.

Chipset details:
The chipset is manafactured by Realtek Semiconductor Corp and has a device ID of 0bda:0411 which is supported by linux kernel versions >= 2.6.0 (according to this site https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:0bda-0411).

Doesn't work as I would like.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 22, 2019

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

I had great hopes when I bought this hub as I have previously bought a cheaper product which also didn't work.
My problem is that anything attached to it is not recognised when the computer wakes from sleep.
I contacted Sabrent support who told me this is normal.
I do not get the problem with a really cheap hub I got from Amazon but it does not have the switches.
If you always boot from cold then this is a brilliant piece of kit and looks well made.
I am disappointed and returning this to Amazon for a refund.

Sabrent USB Hub Delivers Reliable Performance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2019

Size: 7 + 3 Charging PortsVerified Purchase

Due to an ever-increasing raft of USB devices I needed to equip my MacBook Pro 'desktop' installation with a solid alternative to an Inateck 5 port mini powered USB 3 hub which, although still running well, can be a little flaky during reboots and sometimes doesn't seem to wake devices properly after sleep, requiring a manual unplug and plug of the USB cable.

I wanted to get something with individually switched ports, something robust with a strong enough PSU to accommodate all imaginable power drain over USB connectivity, something USB3, of course - not flashy but still stylish on my desktop.

I've had a couple of Sabrent devices before and always found their products to be high quality and well-considered, and so as I studied the available possibilities over and over again, I found myself drawn to the Sabrent USB 3.0 Hub with 7 ports and, critically, 3 smart charging ports included. It seemed to have good reviews on Amazon and certainly appeared to be less susceptible to some of the niggles and unreliability that many users have found with other popular brands, many of which seem to be identical or very similar rebadges from what appears to be the same factory using the same configuration of the same devices.

The Sabrent stood out for its good looks, and apparently rugged and professional appearance along with that encouraging volume of reviews, so I took the plunge and am glad I did.

The package arrived with a surprising amount of heft to it. This isn't a light unit at all, the complete opposite of my 5 port powered Inateck USB3 Hub. The packaging is very professional and stylish, Anglo-french text and product shots in a tasteful design which presents a pleasing, sophisticated look to the product and - a nice treat - clearly designed to modern US/Europe standards rather than the cheesy, error-riddled and poorly translated efforts presented by other brands, and expressing that the contents were a more expensive product than the monotone or duotone printing on some of the 'brown packages' that we've come to expect in this market sector.

The tasteful slip outer easily slides off the strong black box sporting the Sabrent logo, which opens to reveal a curiously lightweight hub unit with matt effect plastic sides, smooth rounded corners, and a tidy face place, gloss plastic and supplied with protective film in place to protect from scratches, presenting ten evenly spaced ports and their corresponding power on/off push switches and power status lights. Each status light is a blue rectangular LED and I didn't find them overly bright or lurid. One disappointment is that in the dark, unless you know the layout of the hub, there is no way of distinguishing the USB3 ports from the charging ports, and perhaps it would have been wiser - as other brands have done - to colour code the LED's and/or backlight the ports themselves. Minor things.

The rectangular power switches feature a shaped button top which is about as close to a 'tactile' presentation as these strictly functional switches get. At times a couple of the buttons feel a little 'scratchy' on the sides of the faceplate during use, but that's a minor fit issue, and there really isn't anything of a gap around the buttons which would allow the ingress of dirt or grit into the mechanisms themselves. At first glance they look like they might be rubberised, but they're not - just solid, cheap-looking black plastic but entirely functional, and I have to say I appreciated the 'push' distance to engage the switch and the resistance to engaging the button - no accidental device disconnections by nudging the adjacent switch!

Given the weight of the box, I was looking all around the hub for evidence of metal chassis, and there isn't any metal plating at all on this thing. It's definitely tough plastic, but how tough? Not sure. I don't think it would thank you for a thirty foot drop on to concrete or being flung at a wall, but in normal, every day use I can't foresee any problems. I think we'd do just fine with a drop from counter top to the office or bedroom floor without difficulty.

The base of the hub is similar to the plastic in the sides of the unit, except with a very solidly placed rectangular outline strip of rubber, which is protected in shipping by an adhered, removable plastic film, which forms the non-slip component of the hub base, something which I appreciated, since my Inatech makes no effort whatsoever to offer desktop 'cling' and very easily pulls around all over the place given the slightest tug on the USB cables attached.

Further exploration into the box reveals that Sabrent's policy has clearly been to put the weight where it really matters... They're confident that the hub is robust enough, and instead put the serious weight into the power supply... The ENORMOUS power supply. This alleviates my usual concerns about USB hubs - that the PSU's which drive them are so often little more than a phone charger plug in the wall, which give the sense that they might just pop at any moment. Instead, here we have a laptop-style two-stage power adapter, the power brick and the figure of 8 power cable, in my case with a UK plug on the end, along with the USB3 A/B cable to connect the hub to the host computer.

There are no corners cut here, and you know with confidence that this brick can deliver the power - it's a 60w supply and the three charging ports with smart technology to automatically optimise the charge delivered claim to deliver 2.4 amps per port. This means I can now dispense with the additional Tecknet USB Charging Brick from my desktop and reassign it elsewhere in the house, with one less unit cluttering up my work space.

I would happily recommend this product.

Since my review is independent and self-funded I should also add for transparency that the unit I was first supplied with by Amazon had an intermittent fault where two of the ports were prone to random disconnections and cycling of the on/off status independent of the power switch.

A very easy email communication with the vendor, SLJ Trading, Sabrent's Distributor, resulted in the very speedy exchange of the unit once stock was available, and the replacement has been flawless, as its manufacturer clearly intended. The efficacy of support only increases my esteem of the product and I'd honestly say I have no reservations about this product whatsoever.

I notice that the design is very similar to an offering from Anker, and that Anker are one of the new wave of buzz-brands in this field at the moment. So what I would add in Sabrent's favour is that their offering does have the added benefit of the individually switchable USB channels for virtually the same price as the Anker - so let value-added features be your guide, rather than the familiarity with the brand name.

Does what it says it does

Speed test: Portable Toshiba 1TB USB3.0 HDD achieved the same results connected directly to the PC or through this hub.
Multiple devices: Handled very well all the bays with pen drives or external disks both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Power: No problems charging a Huawei P10, Samsung S6 and iPhone5S at the same time, though the external PSU got a bit hot (naturally!).
Extra note: very helpful switches which enable you to disconnect/power off the device without removing it - makes it perfect for OSs installations.
Less positive point: Blue LEDs next to the switches are not bright enough under normal lighting conditions or are too deep inside the enclosure and you need to be almost vertically above them to notice whether or not they are on.

Unrealiable and questionable quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2021

I am quite disappointed with the quality and performance of the Sabrent USB Hub, and here is why:

The 12V/5A 60W power adapter makes a high-pitched electrical noise. My Rode Podmic Pro was picking up the noise during voice calls and voice recordings. It was quite an irritating situation to find yourself in. When I wasn’t using the microphone, the noise was still noticeable as the power supply was sitting in my cable tray right under the table top.

The USB Hub was causing interference with my other Bluetooth devices connected to my laptop like my Sennheiser PXC 550-II headphones. It was randomly and frequently disconnecting my headset, switching me back to default, built-in monitor speakers!
During those frequent disconnection moments other devices plugged into the hub like my wireless Logitech keyboard and wired Razer mouse also were becoming unresponsive for few seconds.

I had this hub attached to my cable tray using double-sided tape. When I was trying to detach it from the tray, the housing fell apart in my hands. No way of returning this poor quality product now to the manufacturer for refund. Fifty Euro for this unreliable USB hub has just been flushed by me down the toilet.
