Powered USB Hub Rosonway 7-Port USB 3 2 USB C Hub with 10Gbps USB-A 3 2 2 USB-C

Only had this 1 day. It wouldn't install on my Desktop to the USB-C 10Gb ports but after some investigation, discovered that's a driver issue on my motherboard and Win-7. It did however install perfectly on the USB-A 5Gb port. That's not a problem as I'm using USB-A 3.0 Drive Devices. I attached 4 drives to the 5Gb ports on the hub and everything powered up and attached without any problems. I also tested doing a backup from one of the now Hub mounted drives to another external USB drive and that all seemed to work flawless at speeds comparable to what I normally see when doing backups. Overall, very nice unit, solidly made, switches a nice feature, comes with PSU. I like the unit for its sturdiness. I like the ability to turn the ports off/on individually It works fine on a USB 3.1 port even though I have a USB-C device plugged into the 10Gb port so no issues there. I like it came with a separate PSU which I'm using Overall, pleased that it's working fine just disappointed to discover that my Motherboard is using an ASMedia 3.2 processor which doesn't appear to support external Hubs.. or at least ASMedia does have not care to provide a Driver for Win-7. The Hub appears to install ok but after much testing and powering OFF/ON, every time I connect it, Windows gives a loud Beep (The one that indicates a device has been attached/detached) every 1.5 SECOND!!!! even if there's no devices plugged into the Hub. Fortunately the 3.1 ports on my Motherboard use an Intel USB support chip so that seems to handle an external Hub without issue and it more than satisfies my current USB speed devices I'm using. UPDATE 02/13/25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a quirk occur which is NOT a defect but in case you hit the same. I had a USB port "Enabled" (Blue light lit) on the Hub but had no device actually configured on it. Every time I booted I would "lose" the last Internal Hard Drive. It just would not show up. This happened 4-5 times in a row. Once I realized and Disabled the port and I've never had a problem again. This could easily be a quirk of my Motherboard during it's hardware scan so I'm not blaming the hub at all. Just thought I'd mention it. As for the USB drives now connected to the Hub, they all continue to work flawlessly. Really pleased with the Hub as it provides the additional USB devices I needed in one nice easily locatable place (rather than having to keep scurrying behind the server on my hands and knees :-) Speed is great (Copying to and from devices on the Hub).

The media could not be loaded. As someone who’s gone through testing way too many hubs over the years, I finally found one that actually gives me both performance and reliability. It’s an absolute game-changer for my setup. If you who works with multiple peripherals daily or simply need an efficient way to manage devices without having to reach back behind your PC, this hub is an excellent investment. From build quality to functionality, it checks all the boxes and outperforms many other hubs I’ve used in the past. For me the main feature is actually lays flat on my desk and I can easily use it 😊 This is more of an essay of the pain points other have had but short version is I’ve yet to find a better hub in this price range. Build Quality / Weight / Feel First thing I noticed when unboxing this hub was its premium build quality. Unlike many plastic hubs that feel lightweight and flimsy, this one has a sturdy aluminum housing that gives it a solid and durable feel and probably also help with heat dissipation, preventing the hub from overheating -- something I have def seen in others Additionally, the hub is compact but a good weight, making it easy to place on my desk without it shifting or sliding around. Some hubs are so lightweight that they move every time you plug in a device, but this one stays put, thanks to the rubber feet on the bottom that provide extra grip. Also, and I don’t know WHY others don’t do this, is the computer and power connections are on the same side (top). Others have them on opposite sides which for desktop use just makes my desk ugly as anything and it actually can ley flat very easily. Connectivity The main frustration I’ve had with other USB hubs is unreliable connection stability. Many cheaper hubs tend to randomly disconnect devices or throttle speeds, especially when multiple peripherals are plugged in. I’m happy to report that I’ve experienced none of those issues with this hub. Regardless if USB3 or 3.2 or however the naming work now, data transfer speeds were incredibly fast. I frequently transfer large files between my external SSDs and my computer, and this hub handles those transfers effortlessly. There’s no noticeable lag or drop in performance compared to directly connecting the devices to my computer’s built-in USB ports. And no backward compatibility issues with plain USB 2.0 devices . Main reliability comes drome a dedicated power adapter. Relying on the computer’s USB port for power often leads to instability, especially with using high-power devices like external hard drives or gaming controllers. I’ve connected multiple external hard drives, flash drives, keyboard, mouse and printer at the same time, and everything works flawlessly. There are no random disconnects or underpowered devices, which is a common issue with non-powered hubs. Lower-quality hubs is that the whole hub sometimes “reset” when too many devices are connected, leading to random disconnections of EVERYTHINg which is beyond frustrating especially when transferring files or trying to edit documents on drives. Thankfully, I’ve had no such problems with this hub. It still remains stable even when all ports are in use, months later, a testament to its solid engineering. Also of note a less common issue but still can be is general electronic interference, which can cause wireless mice or keyboards to lag. No noticeable interference here. On/Off Ports The LED indicators for each port are also a nice tough, not too bright to be distracting but clear enough to let you know which ports are active. I love having individual buttons for turning ports on and off. This might seem like a small detail, but it’s incredibly useful for me and I dislike that other don’t’ have it. Mainly once I’m done with an external drive and I want to make sure it stays disconnected so instead of unplugging them, I can simply turn off their respective ports, which not only conserves power but maybe? reduces wear and tear on my drives. This feature is also useful for managing devices that I don’t always want active, such as a printer or a gaming controller. I also like these buttons on the side rather then in between where they are hard to get to. The buttons just FEEL good and are easy to press but slightly recessed so they are harder to press accidentally. You can see in the video how easily I can turn them on/off with barely moving my finger, but still have clear control on their state Size / Spacing Other hubs suffer from poor port spacing. Some hubs cram the USB ports too closely together, making it difficult to plug in bulkier USB drives or devices with larger connectors. This hub, however, has just enough well-spaced ports that allow easy access without obstruction, but doesn’t end up gigantic. Features Having both USB-A and USB-C ports is a major plus. Many hubs still focus solely on A or C leaving dongle mess everywhere. I just want quick mix on my desk. Also the supported speed is clearly labeled for which ports give that. Also I’m a big fan of the actually attached USB C/A male option to the computer rather then a flimsy dongle that barely stays on, or lightly held on by tiny piece of rubber. It looks ugly, but its going on the back of my PC and I know its there when I need it. Far superior for a USB hub. So many people ask for a ‘quick good hub’ so im just writing my response here so I can copy/paste in future. For Gamers: Easily connect different gaming peripherals / controllers and headsets without worrying about limited USB ports. For Creators & Office work: Seamlessly manage external hard / flash drives, microphones, webcams, and anything else (that Ive tried). For General Users: Keep all your essential devices, such as printers, keyboards, and storage devices, connected in an organized manner. Or get 2 and have one on your desk handy and one behind the PC for the stuff youll generally leave connected Complaints While this hub is fantastic, there’s always room for improvement. 1) USB length is a little shorter then I would like, but I know its harder to go longer at high speeds. That said is the longest by far offered by any ‘premium’ hub in this price range so it’s still a win. (Power length is fine in my opinion) 2) Non swappable USB cable isn’t fun to see. 3) Would rather see a USB-C power then generic barrel plug, but I can understand they don’t want people complaining about using their own not good charger. 4) Some sort of locking on the barrel plug would be nice, not that I’ve had it got pulled out but I can see that being an issue for some usages. 5) I would also rather another design then a wall wart. 6) USB-C looks a bit recessed but I haven’t had any issues with my devices and cables 7) More ports!!! I mean can you ever have enough? These are all beyond minor things, especially if it’s just sitting at a desk but hey that’s why we write these things up. Bottom line: Highly Recommended After using this hub extensively for months, I can confidently say that it’s one of the best powered USB hubs on the market (that I have found). I’m just so excited to have finely found one that eliminated all random disconnects, power limitations, poor build quality of others, give me high-speed, and the stuff listed, and actually looks normal on my desk without having cables coming off opposite ends, AND is a normal price. If you’re in need of a reliable and well-constructed USB hub that offers both convenience and performance, that you want to just plop on your desk and have work this is an excellent choice. I’ve tried too many hubs that I just want people to know this one seems to bloody ‘just work’. Read more

Using this to connect devices in my racing simulator to my PC. Some of those devices are things like external soundcards or devices with many child-devices so power draw on the aggregate is too high for a passive hub. This powered hub works excellent. I really like the ability to toggle ports on and off without needing to unplug them. I have an additional 4 port hub hanging off this for a group of low power devices that I treat as a single "thing" and that works excellent too, plenty of power and bandwidth to handle that. One note to the buyer, the power and USB cord are both fairly short so plan to use a USB 3 extension cable + powerstrip if this will be more than a few feet from the PC. On that note, if you actually need USB 3.1 speeds make sure you're getting a compatible cable of appropriate length (I don't). This is an excellent hub and a super value. I was impressed with the build-quality, nice and tactile buttons per port, and reliable functionality. I definitely recommend it. Read more

It have excellent build quality. It is fast, reaching the advertised speeds. The charging is fast too and works great with my iPhone. The buttons on the side may be a bit controversial and some may or may not like it. Personally it took me a bit getting used to turning the ports on and off since there is a light that comes on and it was a bit distracting having them all on but it you don't mind the light then just keep them all on. The ports are good quality and it's easy to plug and unplug devices. I'm dinging it 1 star because the USB-C ports are not flush and some cables may not fit if they have a large plug housing but otherwise this hub is great. Great price too! Read more
