– Powered USB Hub, 16-Port USB 3.2 Docking Station with Individual Switches & LEDs, 90W Multi-Device Fast Data & Charging Hub, Mount Bracket Included (HB-PU16)

I’ve been using the SABRENT 16-Port Powered USB Hub for a few years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. As someone who regularly connects multiple devices — from external drives and flash sticks to webcams and audio interfaces — this hub has been a total game-changer. The build quality is excellent. It feels solid and well-made, and the power adapter ensures that every port delivers consistent, reliable power. I’ve experienced zero dropouts, even when all 16 ports are in use. Data transfer speeds are great too — exactly what you’d expect from a USB 3.0 hub. One thing I really appreciate is the individual power switches for each port. It’s a thoughtful touch that helps keep things organized and efficient without constantly plugging and unplugging devices. If you’re a tech enthusiast, content creator, or just someone tired of swapping USB cables all day, this is the hub you need. Highly recommended!

Due to an ever-increasing raft of USB devices I needed to equip my MacBook Pro 'desktop' installation with a solid alternative to an Inateck 5 port mini powered USB 3 hub which, although still running well, can be a little flaky during reboots and sometimes doesn't seem to wake devices properly after sleep, requiring a manual unplug and plug of the USB cable. I wanted to get something with individually switched ports, something robust with a strong enough PSU to accommodate all imaginable power drain over USB connectivity, something USB3, of course - not flashy but still stylish on my desktop. I've had a couple of Sabrent devices before and always found their products to be high quality and well-considered, and so as I studied the available possibilities over and over again, I found myself drawn to the Sabrent USB 3.0 Hub with 7 ports and, critically, 3 smart charging ports included. It seemed to have good reviews on Amazon and certainly appeared to be less susceptible to some of the niggles and unreliability that many users have found with other popular brands, many of which seem to be identical or very similar rebadges from what appears to be the same factory using the same configuration of the same devices. The Sabrent stood out for its good looks, and apparently rugged and professional appearance along with that encouraging volume of reviews, so I took the plunge and am glad I did. The package arrived with a surprising amount of heft to it. This isn't a light unit at all, the complete opposite of my 5 port powered Inateck USB3 Hub. The packaging is very professional and stylish, Anglo-french text and product shots in a tasteful design which presents a pleasing, sophisticated look to the product and - a nice treat - clearly designed to modern US/Europe standards rather than the cheesy, error-riddled and poorly translated efforts presented by other brands, and expressing that the contents were a more expensive product than the monotone or duotone printing on some of the 'brown packages' that we've come to expect in this market sector. The tasteful slip outer easily slides off the strong black box sporting the Sabrent logo, which opens to reveal a curiously lightweight hub unit with matt effect plastic sides, smooth rounded corners, and a tidy face place, gloss plastic and supplied with protective film in place to protect from scratches, presenting ten evenly spaced ports and their corresponding power on/off push switches and power status lights. Each status light is a blue rectangular LED and I didn't find them overly bright or lurid. One disappointment is that in the dark, unless you know the layout of the hub, there is no way of distinguishing the USB3 ports from the charging ports, and perhaps it would have been wiser - as other brands have done - to colour code the LED's and/or backlight the ports themselves. Minor things. The rectangular power switches feature a shaped button top which is about as close to a 'tactile' presentation as these strictly functional switches get. At times a couple of the buttons feel a little 'scratchy' on the sides of the faceplate during use, but that's a minor fit issue, and there really isn't anything of a gap around the buttons which would allow the ingress of dirt or grit into the mechanisms themselves. At first glance they look like they might be rubberised, but they're not - just solid, cheap-looking black plastic but entirely functional, and I have to say I appreciated the 'push' distance to engage the switch and the resistance to engaging the button - no accidental device disconnections by nudging the adjacent switch! Given the weight of the box, I was looking all around the hub for evidence of metal chassis, and there isn't any metal plating at all on this thing. It's definitely tough plastic, but how tough? Not sure. I don't think it would thank you for a thirty foot drop on to concrete or being flung at a wall, but in normal, every day use I can't foresee any problems. I think we'd do just fine with a drop from counter top to the office or bedroom floor without difficulty. The base of the hub is similar to the plastic in the sides of the unit, except with a very solidly placed rectangular outline strip of rubber, which is protected in shipping by an adhered, removable plastic film, which forms the non-slip component of the hub base, something which I appreciated, since my Inatech makes no effort whatsoever to offer desktop 'cling' and very easily pulls around all over the place given the slightest tug on the USB cables attached. Further exploration into the box reveals that Sabrent's policy has clearly been to put the weight where it really matters... They're confident that the hub is robust enough, and instead put the serious weight into the power supply... The ENORMOUS power supply. This alleviates my usual concerns about USB hubs - that the PSU's which drive them are so often little more than a phone charger plug in the wall, which give the sense that they might just pop at any moment. Instead, here we have a laptop-style two-stage power adapter, the power brick and the figure of 8 power cable, in my case with a UK plug on the end, along with the USB3 A/B cable to connect the hub to the host computer. There are no corners cut here, and you know with confidence that this brick can deliver the power - it's a 60w supply and the three charging ports with smart technology to automatically optimise the charge delivered claim to deliver 2.4 amps per port. This means I can now dispense with the additional Tecknet USB Charging Brick from my desktop and reassign it elsewhere in the house, with one less unit cluttering up my work space. I would happily recommend this product. Since my review is independent and self-funded I should also add for transparency that the unit I was first supplied with by Amazon had an intermittent fault where two of the ports were prone to random disconnections and cycling of the on/off status independent of the power switch. A very easy email communication with the vendor, SLJ Trading, Sabrent's Distributor, resulted in the very speedy exchange of the unit once stock was available, and the replacement has been flawless, as its manufacturer clearly intended. The efficacy of support only increases my esteem of the product and I'd honestly say I have no reservations about this product whatsoever. I notice that the design is very similar to an offering from Anker, and that Anker are one of the new wave of buzz-brands in this field at the moment. So what I would add in Sabrent's favour is that their offering does have the added benefit of the individually switchable USB channels for virtually the same price as the Anker - so let value-added features be your guide, rather than the familiarity with the brand name.

I've had a few USB multi-ports over the years - this one is by far the best. Inndividual switching and dedicated power source make it compact, reliable and sraightforward to use. Good piece of kit (so far!)

The SABRENT USB 4-Port Hub does exactly what it says on the tin! The powered USB hub allows you to expand your USB devices without worrying about the power supply issues from your PC thanks to the included dedicated power. The hub includes switches that operate seamlessly, allowing you to control each device with individual switches. I've used Sabrent products previously (including my M.2 SSD drive) and the quality is always super! This hub is no exception and has great performance with high data transfer speeds (up to 5Gbps). I also really like how lightweight and compact the product is. It takes up very little space and can even be easily hidden behind your desktop so its not in the way. That being said, if you did want to have the USB hub on show, then it looks really sleek. The black design with the blue LED's on the switches adds character to your setup! Overall, I genuinely have no complaints about this hub. It is exceptional value for money, and I'm confident it will work for years to come.

This is my second one bought, this time for my partner's computer (large desktop replacement laptop). I am very happy with the first one, after 4.5 years of constant use (I have a desktop and almost all my USB devices are attached to this hub). Power-only ports are quite useful to have, and the individual on/off buttons - while not crucial - are quite convenient for web cameras and noisy gadgets (like external HDDs).

Excellent 10 slot usb hub fron Sabrent. My constantly evolving sim racing rig has 9 peripherals attached which all require a usb connection when gaming. I chose this brand as have purchased before and found the quality to be excellent, top reliability and look good too. Each usb slot is switched so you can turn off peripherals not being used if required. One cable connects to a pc and a power supply brick powers the hub. I can highly recommend this product. Excuse my messy cabling in the photo, this will be tidied in due course.

Usage privé mais exigeant, niveau professionnel

Utiliser sur un SimRig pour tout le matériel Sim Racing et j'en suis très très satisfait. Les trois ports de recharges me servent pour recharger les périphériques sans fil (clavier, souris et casque) et les autres pour les différents périphériques (base, pédalier, dashboard, ...). Pour ceux (comme moi) qui pensent utiliser les boutons on/off, il faut savoir qu'ils leur arrive de ne pas s'enclencher comme ils le devraient. D'où les 3 étoiles. Après un petit temps (quelques mois), la position basse (on) a parfois du mal à "accrocher". Il suffirait peut-être de démonter pour remettre un guide convenablement, mais j'ai choisi de ne plus le passer en off. Mis à part ce petit souci rien à signaler sur ce hub qui fait très bien le travail.

Commandé, reçu, branché, tout comme sur des roulettes. Je revois mon avis parce qu'après 6 semaines d'utilisation, un interrupteur ne fonctionne plus. Sinon, les transferts se font toujours sans problème.

Excelente producto. Lo recomiendo completamente.

I attempted to use this product and it pretty much did not work. I reached out to Sabrent support and they followed up very quickly. They sent me the tools and instructions to get things fixed up and this USB hub is now working perfectly. Thank you Sabrent, you have a great product and especially great service. I highly recommend.
