UH720 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub, Docking Station, 2 Fast Charging Ports

So far, this seems to be a a good quality and decent value for money item. It has a excellent range of ports, including 3x USB-A (most other compact, multi-port, devices seem to only have 2), along with HDMI 4K 60Hz (some other hubs still seem to only have 4K 30Hz). I could not see many devices with such a range of ports at a decent price. I have tried all 3 usb-a ports, the usb-c, and the HDMI ports - and all work without issue on the MacBook Air I use, along with a Acer monitor with a HDMI connection. The device feels well made, with the main case being made of aluminium alloy. It has a robust feeling, thick braded USB-C lead to connect the hub to your laptop. The device does get a bit warm in use, possibly linked to the aluminium case, but I place it on a desk, as I suspect most people would, so I don't see this as a issue. A nice small touch is that there is a slot to store the USB-C connection that you use to plug the device into your laptop, when not in use, so it remains tidy/free of dirt in your bag.

I’ve gone through several cheap, unpowered USB hubs that would constantly "drop" my external hard drives. Switching to the TP-Link UH700 has completely solved that problem. Because it has its own dedicated power supply, it handles multiple high-drain devices simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Key Performance Details: Exceptional Stability: I currently have three external hard drives, a webcam, and a keyboard receiver plugged in. Unlike bus-powered hubs, there is zero lag or random disconnections. The 12V power adapter ensures everything gets the voltage it needs. Data Transfer Speeds: The USB 3.0 performance is legitimate. I moved a 5GB 1080p video file in under a minute. It truly hits that "10x faster" mark compared to my old USB 2.0 setup. Charging Capability: The 1.5A fast-charging ports are a great bonus. It’s powerful enough to charge my smartphone or tablet at a decent speed while I work, which saves me from cluttering my wall sockets with extra plugs. Build & Design: It has a sleek, premium finish. I particularly like the dim white LED indicators next to each port; they are bright enough to show a connection but dim enough that they aren't distracting in a dark room. Pros: Powered Hub Advantage: Can run power-heavy peripherals (like mechanical keyboards or HDDs) that unpowered hubs can't. Plug and Play: Worked instantly on my Windows and Mac machines with no driver installation required. Safe & Reliable: Features built-in surge protection, which gives me peace of mind when connecting expensive gear. Cons: Footprint: Because it requires an external power brick, it’s more of a "desktop" solution than a portable one. If you need something for a laptop bag, this might be a bit bulky. The Verdict: The TP-Link UH700 is the gold standard for anyone needing to expand their workstation. It’s reliable, fast, and most importantly, it stays connected. If you’re tired of your computer "losing" your USB devices mid-task, this is the upgrade you need.

This has been a lifesaver, has freed up my USB slots on my laptop so have less cables running round my laptop.

I have several of these as they are the best value and most reliable powered USB3 hubs I've found to date. They can also be powered by the upstream USB host but this limits the power available for downstream devices of course. The only slight niggle with them is because of the design, they are quite long compared to some hubs that orient the USB sockets perpendiclar to the case. On the other hand, this means the case is quite slim & even bulky USB dongle-type devices have plenty of room and they wall-mount nicely using Command Strips or the like. Each port has a status LED showing whether there is an active USB connection which can be useful for troubleshooting. There is also an illumiated soft power button which, when mains powered, can disconnect all the downstream devices at once although I struggle to think of a use case for that. Thankfully, this remembers its state over power cycling so can be ignored if not needed. Topologically speaking, the hardware actually consists of one four-port hub connected to one of the ports on a second four-port hub which then connects to the upstream host. Therefore devices connected to the rightmost three ports are one hop closer to the host than those on the other four so it's probably better to connect high throughput devices like USB3 drives or DVB-S/T/C devices to the three and less critical devices like keyboards, mice & printers to the other four.

Excellent quality product. Bought as an external HDD needed more power than my Surface Pro could provide. Plugged the HDD and the external CD/DVD drive into the fast ports and bingo. Was able to transfer 10 CDs full of photos and videos onto the external hard drive to then play on the TVs around the house. Great, we'll designed product, worth the extra compared to some of the cheaper versions. Neat size and well made. Recommend.

I have been using TP-Link products for many years and they have proven very reliable, so I'm sure this new USB powered hub will be just as good. There are cheaper 'no-name' hubs on sale but I'm glad I paid a bit extra for this quality TP-Link hub. Some of the USB ports on the front panel of my old PC were getting a bit unreliable, with the plugs getting a bit wobbly and one or two not connecting reliably. I was able to plug the TP-Link 7-port hub into a spare USB 3.0 connector on the back of the PC and the supplied cable was long enough to set the hub on the desk at the side of the PC tower. After plugging in the reassuringly chunky power supply, the power LED on the hub came on and my devices all worked perfectly. At the moment I'm using 5 of the 7 ports and I'm also able to charge my phone and iPad from the two power outlets on the end of the hub. The power on/off switch on the hub is surprisingly useful as it means I don't have to unplug any devices after I shut the PC down for the night. My old powered hub would leave them powered on all the time so I had to unplug them which obviously isn't good as regards wear and tear on the USB sockets. Now I can leave them all plugged in and simply press the on/off button on the hub.

Great peice of kit. Connectivity is perfect no lag or loss of power and 2 extra usb powers for power are very handy with the external power upply as well.

Quality item, I bought a cheaper hub which was faulty so returned and spent a bit more on this. I have 2 external backup USB drives connected going to a KVM and then a Mac and PC - it works flawlessly. Can also charge my phone with this. Trusted brand good build quality don't waste time and money on cheap ones get this 👍

einwandfreie funktionierende Adapter

This is great as it has 7 ports and 2 charging ports as well. Works well. I bought the first one several years back, since then have bought 3 more - one for my son and another for my PC and one more for my Mac. Works well with both Macs and Windows PCs.

Needed more USB ports for my gaming laptop and this powered USB hub performs the job nicely.

Utilisé pour connecter un micro, un clavier/souris sans fil et d'autres périphériques. Fonctionne très bien. Ce qui est intéressant c'est de pouvoir brancher une alimentation externe pour palier à un manque de puissance sur les ports et éviter de tirer sur le PC (surtout pour les disques durs externes). Je recommande
