    Anker (Aluminium) powered 7 port USB 3 Hub --Brilliant


    Hi folks

    some of these USB 3 hubs (powered) just don't seem "man enough" for theh job if you use a few of the ports with unpowered devices on them.

    I've got 4 X 3.7 GB passport external (self powered) drives attached to an unpowered port on a laptop -- temorarily using these as "network streaming / Multi media sharing" files while backing up and doing maintainence on a regular NAS server. Also attached is a wireless usb mouse and keyboard.
    I've also got an SSD with a "Clone" of my NAS OS for temprarily running the laptop as a regular NAS server without interfering with the Windows OS on its internal HDD. The laptop is running with the OS booted from the SSD on the USB device.

    No problems accessing the devices from local PC or on remote devices --all HDD's running and working -- perfect connection also to remote things like amazon firestick and remote smart TV --not sure though how robust this would be for a load of concurrent connections --but at least the device is giving me access to all I need while NAS undergoing maintenance.

    Certainly impressed with the device. Never thought these sorts of USB hubs would be capable of driving a whole slew of "unpowered" USB stuff.

    Cheers

    they were asking for this... https://geeks.com/collections/best-...h-speed-usb-3-0-hub-windows-mac-os-compatible so that they did not have to search the page for it. Common courtesy when listing a hot deal really.

    USB Keyboard/Mouse Fails when USB 3.0 Hub Installed in Adjacent Port

    USB 3 can cause radio interference on the 2.4ghz range so the increased power draw by the HDD maybe be enough to effect or freeze the mouse receiver until the higher power draw stops again..... It's why I suggested moving the receiver to a USB 2 port if possible...does your monitor have a USB hub/ports perhaps?

    Anker notes this in some of their USB3 product descriptions.....

    Some USB 3.0 devices require direction connection to host ports. 2.4Ghz wireless devices (keyboards, mice, etc.) may not work around USB 3.0 ports. Try using a USB 2.0 connection.
