RSHTECH Powered USB Hub 3.1/3.2 Gen2, 7-Port USBC Hub with 4 USB 3.0, 10Gbps USB-A & 2 USB-C Data Ports, Aluminum USB3.2 Splitter for Laptops, PC and More (Upgraded Version, RSH-ST07C)

This latest RSHTECH hub arrived the day after the order, in a small solid box that would fit through a letter box. It does not require a separate power supply.It is 11x4x1 cm and aluminium cased with a usb c connector,I gets warm on continued use but never hot.I connected to the laptop with no difficulty and all the sockets work really well . The SD one reads a 128Gig card in secs. The HDMI socket runs at 60Hz. All the other sockets are performing well .I use 2 different RSHTECH hubs with my laptop to connect my numerous devices such as scanner, printer, SSds, music, DVD drive. They are left on my desk positioned with small patches of velcro for position and convenience and so that they do not slip.This hub is small enough to easily fit in my laptop bag for on the go use.The only sockets that could be added to this unit would be ethernet and audio to make this the ultimate hub.RSHTECH are easy to deal with, reply the same day to queries and happy to replace any item that is not right for a particular set up.

This is a great solution for computers with few USB connections. I like the sturdy, reassuringly weighty aluminium case. I also like that you can unmount connected devices by simply touching one of the relevant buttons for a couple of seconds, rather than having to do it via the PC's system tray. My only quibble is that I wish it had slightly longer leads so there were more options for where you can place the hub, hence four stars. Otherwise, it does the job well.

I liked how compatible it is with various operating systems. I use Linux and MS Windows and had no trouble connecting and using the device on both systems. There was the expected speedy copying of files small and large. Working with TransFlash and SD cards was also error free.Writing a disk image to USB drive was fine. Connections to all external equipment went without a hitch. Powering devices through the PD was measured and had the expected voltage and current draw for whichever device was connected.I like the fact that the cable is only 300 mm and braided for extra durability. I don't like cables trailing more than they need to.The little unit feels solid and not plasticky in any way - it is mainly aluminium!What else is there to say? If you have any questions the staff at RSHTech are very willing to help.Packaging was good and the item arrived on time, from Amazon UK.I used a stock photo but to be honest my own photo would have been the same, only perhaps less tidy.

Very good. Build quality decent and well made. Is powered and so is easily supporting numerous USB devices for me which wouldn't be possible if not mains connected. Ports are well made and nice and tight, bright blue LEDs. The only thing I would have preferred is physical switches for each port but I knew that when purchasing (couldn't find an alternative with physical switches).

I really like this hub, it's surprising strong and sturdy with a nice metal case.So far I've found all of it's connectivity to be of good speed and reliable. I'm particularly happy about how easily it works with my iPad and Phone with the HDMI allowing me to view my movies and shows on a TV screen on the go and being able to connect to my harddrive for extra space on my iPad has been very useful when exporting video projects. It's very convenient that it doesn't external require power to use but it also gives you the option to use it's power input to charge your device whilst using it which is great for extended watch sessions.The SD and MicroSD (TF) readers are useful too as I don't have a SD card reader on my PC.I'm very impressed with this product so far, honestly all my items from RSHTECH have been great quality for the price point.

Initially, this was a pretty good product and managed all of my peripherals without any issues and then this morning, after only 5 months use, the hub has failed. Now if it had been a cheap item, then you might accept that things like that could happen but this is a premium device at a premium price, so you don't expect failures like that.The device is fixed in one place so there has been no movememt that could cause any of the connections to be damaged and it's also on a surge protected circuit. In fact, the power supply seems to be working fine and shows the correct output when on a voltmeter with no changes or fluctuations. The hub is simply dead! None of the lights come on and there is no current coming out any of the USB ports (also tested with a meter).No support via Amazon so, I will be reaching out to RSHTECH directly via their website and hopefuly, I will get something sorted.

Great unit that powers all my sim racing needs. No issues connectivity issues now my things are powered.Only improvement would be a longer power cable as this one is a little short.

If you need a USB hub, take my advice and buy a powered one like this. If you rely just on USB power alone, performance drops quickly and noticeably with the more devices you attach. By having one that is mains powered, you will see no deterioration at all.The hub has performed exactly as I'd want and expect, and being able to enable/disable each port as required is a massive plus point. It means occasional devices can stay connected without having to unplug them.Through speed is great, which isn't always the case with hubs like this, and it's a surprisingly small form factor which is great if you already have a busy desk, like I do.It does exactly what it's supposed to, which shouldn't really need to be a plus point, but is. Can't fault it
