Fast, small, powerful USB 3.0 HUB
So I read a TON of reviews and tried 3 different products before going with the Anker 9port + charge port. I have a few 3.0 devices and a few others (2.0). I was having trouble with another hub where I had a USB HDD that kept disconnecting under heavy load. I tried two others but kept having different issues, disconnects, speed, random errors about devices not working properly. They all went away with the Anker 3.0 9-port.
Pro's:
Function:
- FAST
- Every port works together with out issue
- Power brick is small enough and has enough cord to keep the desk looking clean (I used Velcro and put mine under a desk)
- Errors related to devices not working went away
- Under full load nothing disconnects or spins into oblivion.
Aesthetic:
- Slick, small, light but solid.
Cons:
Function:
- Ports are close together so chubby devices will eliminate an extra port.
Aesthetic:
- Power light seems to glow brighter on the side than on the top.
