## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics 7 Port USB 2.0 Hub Tower with 5V/4A Power Adapter From the Manufacturer desertcartBasics

Review: USB 7 port 3.0 Hub with One Design Annoyance - This is a review of the desertcartBasics 7port USB 3.0 HUB with external adapter, I have put it through the paces and come out really quite impressed with this unit although it does have one minor flaw that I chalk up to user error more than a poor product. I upgraded my motherboard and finally have some USB 3.0 ports on it so it seemed a waste to downport it with an old powered 4 port USB 2.0 HUB when I could get a 3.0 powered HUB and upgrade in speed. Plus USB 3.0 is back compatible with USB 2.0 and I don't believe I have any USB 1.0 devices anymore. I bought this one instead of the 10 port because I didn't want a bigger HUB with more ports that I wasn't going to use. Honestly who has more than 7 USB devices attached at once on a daily basis and can't just simply unplug one to make room for another? Pros - The reports of poorly shaped pins can be forgotton, or at least discounted on the specific model HUB I bought. I've looked over each port several times and the pins don't appear to be misshapen at all. BUT then again I could be editing this review months from now with an update that the pins bent and are now shorting out, although that would likely be due more to user error than product defectiveness. -This HUB has its own power supply which means that it can provide fast charging to things like Cell Phones and some other USB devices when they are attached to the two Fast Charge ports on the side of the port. These two ports are isolated and have a little lightning bolt above them and labeled "Fast" so that you know they are the fast charge ports. -The charge rate for my Samsung S4 Active is fast enough, as fast as plugging it into the wall outlet all by itself which is an improvement over plugging it into a standard USB port on a computer. Charging like that takes forever and barely keeps the phone ON much less charging. -It has a single blue LED bar on it that lets you know it is working, no light over every single port which I appreciate the minimalism here. Treating me like an adult I KNOW when I have something plugged into a port I don't need a status LED over every one of them! -I haven't messed with USB 3.0 until my motherboard upgrade but it will blow you away. I transferred 75GB of data from an external HDD over this hub to my computers HDD in 15 mins. That is a rough transfer rate of 100mb/sec. THAT blew me away. Cons -The Power Supply Unit for the HUB is nearly as big as the hub itself. Yes they give you plenty of cable length to hide it under a desk or wherever but it is something you might want to realize if you are going for a minimalist desk setup. The PSU is actually thicker than the HUB itself (See my Pictures) -I had ONE issue getting my phone to be recognized as an external device. One of my USB cables is apparently not compatible with this HUB. But I am chalking this up to the fact that the cable itself is cheap. It would charge but my computer would not see it as a device nor recognize it as even being plugged into the computer at all. I switched the cable and the issue immediately resolved. -Orientation with my model can be a bit of a challenge because it is shaped like a wedge with all the ports on the wide end of the wedge. So you basically have a decision to make. Do you want a cleaner look with the fat end of the wedge facing away from you and lose access to the rear ports OR do you want to face the fat end of the wedge toward you and be annoyed that the words desertcartbasics are upside down every time you look at it. The choice is yours! I decided to face the fat part of the wedge toward me. Summary Really this port is great and is giving me all the functionality I need. I decided NOT to deduct a star for the slight orientation annoyance posed by this product only because it really only annoys me from time to time. My unit appears not to have any defects and all the ports function flawlessly as designed. And for the price there really isn't anything comparable to it.
Review: Compact Hub That Adds Instant Ports - Compact Hub That Adds Instant Ports This USB 3.0 hub is a simple but very handy accessory. I’ve been using it with my laptop and desktop, and it delivers exactly what it promises—extra ports at fast speeds. The four-port layout is nicely spaced so I can plug in flash drives, an external hard drive, and even my wireless mouse receiver without anything feeling too cramped. Setup couldn’t be easier—just plug it in and it’s ready. I immediately noticed that transfer speeds for my external SSD were as quick as when it was connected directly to the computer, which isn’t always the case with cheaper hubs. Build quality feels solid; the casing has a nice finish, and the cable length is just enough to reach comfortably without being too long and messy. One thing to keep in mind is that this is a bus-powered hub, so while it works perfectly with lower-draw devices (like flash drives, mouse/keyboard dongles, or even a portable SSD), it may struggle if you try to power multiple high-demand devices at the same time. For those needs, a powered hub would be a better choice. Bottom line: A reliable, well-made hub that expands your ports and keeps USB 3.0 speed intact. Perfect for travel or home use when you need extra connections without sacrificing performance.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What exactly does "auto switching between self-power and buspower mode" mean? Thanks!**
A: The 7 port USB device  listed above is a "Self Powered" device.  It gets its power from an external connection to the power lines, usually as a small transformer plugged into a wall socket.   The "bus powered mode" is when a USB device gets its power directly from the USB port of the computer or other upstream device.    "Auto switching" means that the electronics in the self-powered device can, on loss of its external power, switch to conformance as a bus powered device.  This may mean electronically disconnecting devices plugged into its ports until the total load on the upstream USB port is no more than one unit load, or 100 milliamps.Seehttp://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb2.shtmlThere are three classes of USB functions,    Low-power bus powered functions    High-power bus powered functions    Self-powered functionsLow power bus powered functions draw all its power from the VBUS and cannot draw any more than one unit load. The USB specification defines a unit load as 100mA. Low power bus powered functions must also be designed to work down to a VBUS voltage of 4.40V and up to a maximum voltage of 5.25V measured at the upsteam plug of the device. For many 3.3V devices, LDO regulators are mandatory.High power bus powered functions will draw all its power from the bus and cannot draw more than one unit load until it has been configured, after which it can then drain 5 unit loads (500mA Max) provided it asked for this in its descriptor. High power bus functions must be able to be detected and enumerated at a minimum 4.40V. When operating at a full unit load, a minimum VBUS of 4.75 V is specified with a maximum of 5.25V. Once again, these measurements are taken at the upstream plug.Self power functions may draw up to 1 unit load from the bus and derive the rest of it's power from an external source. Should this external source fail, it must have provisions in place to draw no more than 1 unit load from the bus. Self powered functions are easier to design to specification as there is not so much of an issue with power consumption. The 1 unit bus powered load allows the detection and enumeration of devices without mains/secondary power applied.

**Q: Can someone who already purchased this item write what it says on the adapter next to the input line?**
A: INPUT: 100-240V~50/60Hz 0.5AThis should work anywhere in the world with the proper plug adapter.

**Q: Are all the ports USB 3 ports? On the side, there are 2 ports labelled "Fast", and then 5 others that are not fast. Are they not all the same speed?**
A: If u have the one with 2 times "fast" written on the side it is the 2.0 USB hub. the 3.0 Hub has blue connectors and all the 3 at the front are fast chargers with  Flash sign next to it. The wall charger Comes as by Derek Ng as a 3A charger but 12V - 3A which gives complete 7.2 Amps total and meassured at my usb3.0 Hub it gives out 2.4A 5.2V and charges my iPad 4 without Problems. The stream-speed of the ports are all the same Speed (depending if u have USB2.0 Version i reached 430 Mbit/s at the USB 3.0 Version i reached 4200 Mbit/s but thats all my PC can manage so it might go faster if ur PC is faster) Hope i was able to help.

**Q: will this usb hub work with a raspberry pi ?**
A: It is a USB 2.0 hub, so while it will work with the Pi (for USB 2.0), it would NOT give you USB 3.0 speeds on the blue ports of the Pi 4. If you need more ports for e.g. more USB controllers for RetroPie or something, sure, this will do what you want.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value Product if Procured for Appropriate Purpose. You won't feel like you Over/Under/SpentBought functionally/qualitatively.
*by E***R on November 16, 2015*

I have only had this produce for a couple of weeks and setting up the network (with my secretary as my only "assistant" (mostly vice versa) but so far I can say that it is exactly as described, performs as represented, and is good value for a product such as this, which is quite good given that some vendors are a "bit exuberant for my tastes" in their descriptions and I rarely have time to deal with returning low-cost products, and I suspect that is their "Plan B"). I will probably buy another one of these next time I can reach the free shipping base limit. I plan on putting together a set of items that I use concurrently, e.g. a document scanner, dedicated HDD>3TB so that I shall have a cross referenced compilation of all raw data and foundation documents for projects, and an "internal final copy" with conclusions should we need to represent the client in litigation, etc. I may also include our internal draft printer in this group to reduce costs as well as paperwork, as in addition to the need to have a hard copy at times, electronic (PDF) copies are at time released to in-house counsel or others and in doing so I can have a better record system as to where and when the each document containing opinions, intellectual history, etc. In this way, working with one or more of the commercial providers, we intend to put an external live code so that if a PDF remains out of our control, or is copied, it will simply (or that is the plan) "dissolve". In this manner we also control who, and for how long a document is out of our hands, as well as protecting the intended recipients from unauthorized disclosures, multiple copies being out of either our control, or the clients, etc. Many of our computers are designed to work in conjunction with data acquisition programs and instruments, have a word processing program that can access certain of our instrumentation, etc.to be included within memorandums, and draft and final documentation. In any event, whatever it turns out to be needed, our partner's secretaries, the partners if they dictate direction into their computers, and necessary personnel will be able to access files PRN and with only on one USB cable will be able to access the document and data files that they need in either our secure dictation station in the laboratory, or in our conference room with the need for only one USB connection. If this passes our preliminary implementation station, there will be a standardized set-up of these small or medium port hubs without wondering what they are going to need, etc. Since we use a number of different types, brands, etc. of computers that are purpose-specific, docking stations are not the best solution as I hate to have to buy a number of Toughbooks at $4k+ when we only need to at each office at any one time and there are other really good laptops available for 25%-50% of that cost, are lighter and more portable. I think that any product that can properly perform the functions for which it was acquired, is a decent value for what we get, and the fact that for the most part history has shown me that Amazon is a good company to work with if necessary, as long as the customer has a valid issue, which makes them a preferred vendor, is worth 4-stars. Unless it has "hung the moon" 5-stars is really not appropriate, after all, a company buys products to meets its needs, not just to find out how many other things that it could do incidentally, and 3-stars is a product that has not been grossly "oversold", just is not the best that something could be, not bad, just not all that I wanted, and we don't do 2-stars any more (if we ever did) as any product that isn't worth the time to write a "3-star" rating for deserves nothing more than a one. I don't usually spend this much time on any one product, I have always wished that the review that I read had some sort of scaling theory of the author so that any reader can determine for himself what that 3, or 4. or even 1-star rating means in their own world, and understand what the author uses to evaluate, quantify and report. Many of my 4-star ratings might have been 5-star ratings, and the reader(s) can figure out for themselves what the other ratings mean.
