What is Reddit's opinion of SABRENT 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs Includes 60W 12V/5A Power Adapter (HB-BU10)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I went with this powered hub.

Sabrent 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797NZFYP?

That hub has worked flawlessly since I got it back in February.

It currently is powering: 2x VKB Gunfighters, 1x VKB SEM, 1x VKB FSM-GA, 1x VKB THQ, 1x Slaw Devices Dora pedals, Tobii Eye tracker and, one other thing, that I can't remember which at this time.

I use the switches regularly to power off the flight gear, if I need to reboot the PC. I play Star Citizen and it is very picky about device order.

The Alpha doesn't have a built-in USB hub, you'll need to attach the panels separately. Do note that if you have a lot of USB controllers all hooked up directly to your computer it may have trouble powering them all. A better option would be to use an external, powered USB hub and connect all your controls to that, then connect the hub to your PC.

(I use a 10-port hub with switches on each input so I can individually punch various components in and out when I don't need them -- useful for random non-sim video games that just don't know how to handle seeing a bunch of different USB controllers with a couple dozen separate axes.)

Yeah the ghost input issue, it's a power related problem. I bought a new high powered usb3 hub, have had no issues since on 2 different PC builds.

Bought this a while back for my M1 and it works great with a USB 3 to USB C adapter. Haven’t had any issues. I spent $40 for the 10 port one at the time so it looks like its price has increased 50% since then.

Also, if anyone knows of a rack mounted powered USB 3.0 hub with individual toggles I would love to hear about it. Been looking for one but haven’t found anything yet.

2.5" drives usually draw about 5-6W during spin up. With 10 drives, thats at least 50W which is way more than the 36W for this hub.

You either need to manually manage starting the drives or get a higher quality USB hub that has a rated power enough for 10 drives.

The included cable is USB A to B, so I bought a really long USB C to B and it works like a charm. I love it. I mounted it under my desk and now all of my peripherals plug into it.

Alright so I end up getting my USB hub delivered today, and I can attest that the problem is 100% gone. I don't know if you want to invest 60CAD into this solution, but this is the exact hub I'm using.

I’m also on the x570 Asus Hero board. I ended up having to use a USB 3.0 hub by sabrant.

My G2 arrived last night. After reading so much about the 7-14 error, I bought a USB 3 hub to have on hand just in case I had the same problem.

And I’m glad I did...

I’m on x570 Asus RoG Crosshair hero. I tried plugging the G2 into the USB-C port and multiple USB-A ports and got the 7-14 error code every time.

Plugged in the Sabrent USB 3 hub to my motherboard and then the G2 into it and it worked like a charm!

The hub was $54.00 well spent, plus I can use it for other devices. It also has power switches for each port, which is very handy.

I don’t see them on Amazon anymore, but there’s an identical 10 port model for 5 bucks more.

I managed to get about 10 of these. I really want to buy one of these, connect 8 of them to it, and pass the USB port it's plugged into to a FreeNAS VM for some sweet RAID10(zfs version) action.

Someone smack some sense into me. Am I crazy? Why won't this work?

I'm doing this with 12 14TB USB 3.0 drives right now. My response times are <1s (well under the 30s limit). Here's the hub I'm using:

I hate the power buttons, but otherwise it's been pretty solid.

I have the 10 port version.

Dude same. I just picked this up so I can toggle power to individual devices without messing with cables.

USB hub link I use one 10-port and two 7-port, highly recommend them! Good luck and enjoy!

I highly recommend Sabrent, a well established US company.

• 10 port
• 16 port

Why did you delete the last post you made of this when it already had replies? Here's my reply:

At least 5 external hard drives at once? Ideally you'd want a hub with a 10A power supply which I don't think you are going to find easily. Not going to be cheap either. Cheap hubs also tend to have disconnection problems. A 5A hub might work with 5 hdds at once, might not.

I have these two and they are both good:

If it's randomly disconnecting the ports it may be that it is not providing enough power for your external devices. External hard drives tend to consume a lot of energy and some laptops may not be able to provide enough energy for that.

So, I would suggest you 2 things:

1) Connect your devices individually (any mouse/keyboard should be ok so start from there) test and if everything is ok keep adding more devices

2) Get a powered USB hub and use it to connect your hard drive. I use one of these and they work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0797NZFYP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

Notice that your computer will require more power from the AC Adaptor when you are taxing it, like when gaming, so your tests are better done while you are in heavy load.

I am using a 10 port 60 watt and currently have 4 drives connected all of them are externally powered. Sabrent 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797NZFYP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Manual does not state anything regarding max usage?

Here is the manual:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/lit_files/623192.pdf

Anker and Sabrent make 10 port USB powered 3.0 hubs that are highly rated. I use the Sabrent one since it has manual power buttons for each port so you can quickly turn something off completely.

There are 4 items with the device name in the config file. So maybe keep messing around until you figure out the correct 4 names and then save off a copy of the config file with them set correctly.

Other options are

• look into WhiteKnight/Hidguardian to hide your devices.
• look into DevReorder to hide your devices
• Getting a switchable usb hub Amazon link
• This looks interesting. Use windows builtin pnp-util to remove devices from your machine. Create a batch script to mass remove devices and then another one to initiate a rescan. Just got it to work on my machine. I used the device manager to look at the details for my device to get its Device instance path. Then I ran

What hub are you using? And what OS? What raid?

I'm thinking about getting something like this I just want to make sure it works.

As someone who also picked up a few, would you mind sharing how your idea works out?

You say you're going to do it on a Rpi cluster, are you going to be attaching the hub to a single rpi, or creating some sort of array and passing it to the cluster?

My current plan is to pick up either this or this.

I'm leaning towards the former, as it specifically states that no driver is required. I'm planning on using 8, so throughput shouldn't be an issue, (USB3.0 is 5gbps... so we'll see how that goes).

I bought 11, going to use 8, 2 for hotswap in case of failure and the last for another project. The plan is to pass through the USB port I'm plugging the hub into to a FreeNAS vm (host is running esxi) and run vms over the network. I know it's not the exact same thing you're trying to do at all, but I'm still interested in your project, and how the hub works out.

I've never had any issues with Sabrent brand usb hubs. There are 7 and 10 port versions on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797NZFYP/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_vC9vFbTDM4HK5
