Easy to connect, with a decent length on the power lead. Transfer speeds are excellent. Best hub I've used, and great value.

I have had a few hubs, mostly unpowered USB hubs. I have probably tried 3 other powered USB hubs (one being an Attola), but I decided to go for it. The Atolla hub doesn’t scream quality to be honest, but most hubs like this are plastic, so this hub isn’t any worse than the rest. In fact, this hub is a great device. The others that I’ve tried have been nigh on useless, only allowing you to plug pen drives in and data cables. I have 3 external USB hard drives and I can plug all three in and they work perfectly, unlike the other hubs that cause your hard drives to click and fail to mount if you have more than one drive in at a time. They just didn’t have the power. This device is powered by a 5v 4a adapter (more amps than other hubs, this might be its success) and, touch wood, I have had no problems having all drives plugged in with a data cable to a phone. There are individual power buttons on the hub for each of the ports, which is handy (sometimes essential), if you don’t want all the devices plugged into the hub to start powering up all at once. The hubs USB cable is an adequate length (about a meter). There are however a few gripes I have about the hub. Why do companies have power adapters that are 1 metre in length. This has been my only issue with purchasing a powered USB hub. All the companies provide a ridiculous power cable length. It needs to be at least 6ft. The only other thing that is annoying is the light on the hub ports. When one is lit, the ones next to it get a faint light. This is obviously to keep cost down. Just one other, its expensive. In summary, I took the plunge with this hub, even with the high price, but it is a fantastic buy. I saw the reviews and was a bit hesitant at first, but the positive reviews far outweighed the negative. Its reliable, strong (despite the flimsy look) and even though the lights are not perfect, its good to have them. Power cable could be longer. Each port light needs to be isolated from the others. Apart from the negatives mentioned, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this hub. Good job Atolla.

Excellent does the job

Why did you choose this product over others?: I am very pleased with this item and will definitely be keeping it. It is really useful if you have several hard drives, makes it so easy to switch from one to another or to copy across. The most important feature is the easy way to switch off drives, a press of a few seconds on the button. They are safely shut off protecting the drive, far easier than clicking around the bottom right to eject hardware.

It took me a while to find this brilliant piece of technology. I wanted a USB hub with lighted ports so I could use it at night without having to switch on the main light or guessing where the port is. There are few options out there, but they are all ugly, the Atolla USB Hub is the best in my opinion for quality, packaging, aesthetics, and functionality. It provides 4 ports to charge your mobile devices (1 extra is on the side which I found super useful to hide my phone docking station cable) and 7 USB 3.0 data ports to attach all your USB peripherals and thumb drives. So far I've used it with my Sandisk Extreme thumb drivers and they work a charm, as well as my USB headphones and microphones. Not a problem, the devices were recognized in less than a blink of an eye and worked perfectly. I can't comment much on durability as I only had it for a little while, but from what I can feel the device is very sturdy and well built so I'd guess it'll live a long life. There are also smaller options with fewer ports in case there is less real estate but I had space so I wanted the biggest, and last but not least the price is quite competitive for the quality of the product. Couldn't be happier, I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Ideal if you use lots of various accessories with you computer, the hub is powered by its separate power supply, the fact you can turn on and off the ports you want to use is ideal as its just a push of a button and you get a blue light to show its active. i have the 7 port version and the 4 port version, i looked at other makes but found the Atolla was perfect for my needs
