Powered USB Hub, Rosonway 10 Port USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 Hub 10Gbps with 36W (12V/3A) Power Adapter, Type A and Type C Cables, Aluminum USB C Hub Splitter for PC and Laptop (RSH-A10S)

This is my second USB-HUB by 'Rosonway'. I bought the first one (which has 7 USB inputs) about 3 years ago. There is nothing wrong with it and still works great until this very day but I wanted to upgrade to the 10 slot model. I use the USB-HUB constantly and the more USB slots , the better. Plus I caught it during a Black Friday sale and saved a few bucks. I used to buy the regular and much cheaper USB-HUBs that didn't require its own power source ,and guess what? I went through about 4 & eventually they all crapped out on me , sometimes as soon as 4 months later ,plus weren't very reliable. That's why I decided to buy one which doesn't draw its power from your computer's PSU , but the electrical outlet directly. They are way more reliable and like I said , the one I just replaced , is over 3 years old & still works like a charm. Great transfer speeds and no sudden "issues" - aka breaking down. Do yourself a favor and if you're looking for a USB-HUB , AVOID the cheap ones ($4.99 , $.6.99 etc.) which draw power directly from your PC. They are crap and personal experience always trumps a review on some 'tech website' somewhere. Highly recommend it. Especially the 'Rosonway' brand.

Full Disclosure: I am reviewing this product at the request of the manufacturer. While some may conclude this will be biased, I hope that you would not skip over it as I strive to give an honest, biased-free evaluation of every product I review; even if this means the manufacturer will not be happy with the final conclusions. Needing a new USB hub, I was anxious to actually give this one a try. I was initially drawn to it for two reasons, most importantly it is powered, meaning that all of my connected devices will have more than enough power to run efficiently (more on that later). The other part that drew me to this hub is how it was built. The aluminum construction makes for a much more substantial unit than the others that are mostly plastic. The cost does give me a little pause, but it is not the most expensive powered USB hub on the market, and if I had just chosen a unit like this instead of the other USB hubs over the years, it would have actually been less than all of the others combined. I also don’t mind spending a little extra on a product if it is a quality item. Upon receiving the hub in the mail, I will be honest and say that I was not overwhelmed by the outside packaging. It’s a printed sleeve over a plain cardboard box. However, I noticed immediately upon opening the box that was going to be a different experience than the other USB hubs I have used over the years. The hub was sealed inside a tight-fitting plastic bag, and the connection cables and power supply were in their own compartment. Presentation of a product adds value for me, as it shows a company actually cares about their own product. While the outer packaging could be improved from my perspective, the way the product is packaged cannot be criticized in my opinion. Once I had the hub out of the plastic, I was impressed with the build-quality. It has a nice weight and the build finish is exceptional. There are no jagged edges, and everything fits together tightly. The aluminum body definitely set this apart from the other USB hubs that I have used that are plastic. This is a really nice looking, solidly constructed unit. It comes with two different USB cables to connect to your computer, a type-A cable and a type-C cable, which is nice to have the option of choosing which connection type is used. Hooking this up to my PC was straight forward and did not require any drivers to be installed. Once I had the hub connected, it was time to see how it performed. As a graphic designer and aspiring content creator, I really like the option of being able to turn ports on or off at the touch of a button, as it gives me greater control over what is actually connected to my PC at any given time. The indicator light when a port is turned on is not obtrusive, either. It’s a very soft, blue light. I know the port is on, but the light doesn’t distract me. The feel of turning a port on or off is not cheap, either. The buttons are well constructed, and have nice tension to the springs. The performance of the hub has been everything I had hoped it would be, and more. The transfer speeds from USB thumb drives is fast and responsive. The transfer speed from my multi-card reader is just as good. Being able to just turn off the port when ejecting the drive from my PC is a feature I enjoy more for convenience than anything else. The one area of performance that surprised me is when I moved my microphone from the back of my PC to the hub it removed the hum from my recordings. I was able to get my microphone off of my PC and away from the interference of all the components; and being powered, I know it is getting more than enough electricity to record at an optimal level. To further test this hub, I decided to insert 4 data storage devices (3 USB thumb drives and 1 compact flash digital camera card) and transfer data to and from the devices while also recording audio to see if heavier use would affect the performance. I transferred large files from two of the devices, while transferring large files to the other two. The data transfer speeds remained stable and consistent. The audio quality of the recording remained consistent as well, with no obvious hint of when the data transfers started or finished. For my usage needs, I can comfortably say that this hub will handle everything I will throw at it with ease. I have yet to come across many instances where I said to myself that I wish this hub would do “X” and/or “Y”. Thus far it has matched all of my expectations. The footprint of the device I find to be just right given the number of offered slots. I did not have any issue finding an adequate spot on my desk, as it did not take up too much space. I also really liked that it is a top-loading device. I have used some “low-profile” hubs that were side loading that created some awkward issues connecting all my devices. I have only been using this hub for about two weeks as of the posting of this review, so I cannot say as of right now how durable it is. However, based on the quality of construction, I would expect this product to hold up. If there is any change, I will come back and edit this review. I also cannot comment on the customer service of the company since I have yet to have to contact them with any product issues. With that said, this hub comes with an 18-month warranty, which can be extended by an additional 6 months if registered. A two year warranty, with lifetime technical support, gives me a level of comfort that this product is built to hold up over time, and if it does not, RSH Tech will stand behind their products and make good by resolving any problems. As I had stated above, I have not come across many issues that I wish this hub would address. However, if there was one thing that I wish it had that it does not, it would be that it had a couple Type-C ports. I wouldn’t have minded losing 2 or 3 type-A ports for two or three Type-C versions, especially since this comes with a Type-C connection cable. That being said, this would not have been a deal breaker for me, as I currently don’t have many devices that use the Type-C connection. This would have only been for “future proofing” my current setup. I read through some questions that were asked about this product, and I thought I would take a moment and answer a few of them here in this review. One question was if this powered hub could be mounted. A response was given that while it could not, it had non-slip rubber feet that would provide more than adequate grip to keep the device in place. My desktop is tempered glass, and while I can move the device, I would rate the answer given as accurate. It does not slide easily. Another question was if the device ran hot. Through my testing, the hub remained cool to the touch, even at the point of contact for the power cord. I would say the answer given that it does not run hot is accurate. One question that was not asked, but I have seen asked about other powered hubs is if it can be used without the power cord. Through my testing, none of my devices would work without the device being powered. I don’t see this as an issue, however, since this device is a powered hub, and don’t see many reasons it would be used without the power cable. In one review, there was a negative comment about the power buttons for the slots being too easy to hit and turn on/off. I cannot answer as to how they had things setup, however, in my own environment here I find it completely the opposite. The buttons are not easy to trigger in most instances. Maybe if the hub was right next to my hand while using my mouse it could potentially be an issue. This would be more an issue with device placement, though, than device function, in my opinion. Overall conclusion: Performance of this hub is excellent, being able to multi-task without any degradation of speed. The ability to turn on and off the slots is also a bonus, as it gives added control over connected devices. The build quality is fantastic. The aluminum construction feels very solid, and is on par with most high-end devices. The performance of this hub combined with the build quality, I would, and will, recommend this product to friends and family.

I have two of these I've been using for over a year with no issues I have all 10 ports with something plugged in. The external power supply allows you to use multiple drives without issue. I have not done a speed test but I have not seen any speed issues with external drives and I have very large files at times. I plug the unit into a USB-C connector on the computer and it easily sees all 10 devices. I use software to map 6 dongles plugged into the drive that allow me to access the dongle on any of my computers on my home network. I would purchase this again! Update 5/26: After 2 1/2 years of continuous usage the power supply failed. I had 5 dongles and 5 external drives connected to the hub. Failure began with random disconnects of individual external drives that would reconnect. If I unplugged the power supply it would work normally for a day or 2 and then start disconnection 1-5 of the external drives. I took the power supply from a second 10 port hub and plugged it in place of the existing power supply. So far, no issues. If you start to have issues with random disconnects, check the power supply.

I have the 10-slot powered USB hub. Each slot has its own on-off switch. The little blue lights indicating the slot is powered is a little hard to see until you know what to look for. Most of the slots seem to work as expected, but there is at least one that responds to some but not all USBs. I have a wired mouse, for example, and the first slot I used for it didn't engage with it. Moving it to a different slot, it works just fine, as always. I haven't tested the errant slot to see if it is permanently dead, but I will.

As an IT consultant and technician, I have needed, used and recommended a number of USB hubs in the past, both passive and powered. This one impressed me right out of the box. It comes with both USB Type A and Type C cables along with the power supply. It is well-packaged and protected. And, aesthetically, it looks really nice. But what stood out was the heft of the unit - it's solidly built with an aluminum case that will withstand heavy use. This is not some cheap, plastic hub whose case will eventually crack or fail. Each port can be individually activated, a real boon when you want to turn off a connected peripheral without having to yank it out of its port. Every activated port is also lit with a blue light that is substantial without being overly bright and bothersome. Performance-wise, it worked as advertised. I tested it on both PCs and Macs, desktops and laptops using both USB-A and USB-C connections. No issues whatsoever. Be aware - it is a powered USB-hub and will not function without the power supply, something I sheepishly realized when I first connected it and nothing was recognized. I know "5-star" reviews can be misleading but frankly, I don't know how I could fairly rate this any less. Excellence should be rewarded. Will post again in a few months if anything changes.

Update 1/23 Seller contacted me a and refunded but I feel obligated to update the review. I gave it a second chance but found out this is also a DRIVE DESTROYER. Just reading from NVMe USB 3 enclosure will cause your drive to lose it's partitions. Some time after it starts transfer it will go crazy, all your other hubs will re-enumerate and if you plug in your drive after that, you will find out that all your data and partitions are...gone. You now have a RAW partition type, congratulations. Original review: At first things were OK, 2nd gen speeds, only complaint was tight port connectors that required extra force for devices to get in, a bit unsettling with USB drives but liveable. Fast forward two weeks, things started to go bad, random disconnects, speed fluctuation, transfers aborting half way thru. Finally yesterday it went completely bezerk. Devices would take forever to get detected, PC would freeze for some amount of time, safe eject on taskbar was not updating or opening, things got to the point that inserting a device would bring the whole USB subsystem on PC to a state when even Root hub on PC motherboard would disconnect and reconnect along with all hubs and devices underneath. As soon as I unplugged this piece of garbage, things went beck to normal, all other hubs and ports started working again. Since I'm just past return period, now I'm stuck with $45 paper weight. Never again will I get fooled by cheap product again. I'd rather pay extra for brand name and avoid hassle and financial loss. Stay away.

Has no apparent flaws. Worked when plugged in and powered. I purchased it to replace an older 3.0, 7-port hub as I now had 10 devices. Previous hub was USB A plug and my M1 Mac-mini had an external drive and the old hub using its available ports. The USB C interface frees up one of the USB A plugs. The hub is connected to an ink-jet printer and a laser printer and both were recognized immediately. I have another external hard drive (6 partitions) which was recognized immediately. The time machine SSD I connected had very fast transfer speeds. The power supply seems strong and powered all 10 devices. It was strong enough to charge an iPad Pro and when syncing it was very fast. When devices are not in use, it is convenient to turn off the switches reducing the power consumption. The only weakness I found was that it was a little too narrow. A broader footprint would make it more stable. All-in-all, this past week had no problems and has met or exceeded expectations.

First, I am returning the item, and I'm not 100% sure if what I experienced is a design flaw or just a one off problem. (I am guessing design flaw, but I didn't want to spend any more time diagnosing it.) The unit is very well made, and well packaged, and comes with the necessary cables (both USB A and C). I really liked everything until I started testing all of the ports, and that's where the problems came in. The first two ports were fine. Everything worked in those ports. But then the last 8 ports wouldn't work for several of my test devices. There are two possible explanations: Either the ports are bad, or the 10 port switch is actually 3x 4-port switches, with the first two ports coming off the main 4-port switch, and the next 4 ports coming off the second 4-port switch (which uses port #3 of the first 4-port switch), and the last 4 ports coming off the third 4-port switch (which uses port #4 of the first 4-port switch). So this means that 8 of the 10 ports are nested an entire additional port further downstream, which *may* cause issues for some devices. So if you do buy this and have any issues with a device, try plugging it into the first two ports. (Most devices should work further downstream.) I hate to give bad reviews, or even middling reviews, but I really needed a true 10 port hub, and this doesn't seem to be one. Like I said though, everything else seemed put together very well.

I picked up the Rosonway 10 Port USB 3.1/3.2 Powered USB Hub for my gaming laptop, mainly to connect all my flight sim peripherals and a bunch of SSD drives. It’s been a huge help in managing everything without slowing down my laptop or having to deal with constant unplugging. First Impressions: The hub looks sleek and feels solid right out of the box. It’s not too bulky, and the design is clean, so it fits nicely on my desk without being an eyesore. The fact that it’s powered was a big plus, especially since I connect a lot of high-power devices. The individual buttons are great to turn off a port without unplugging. Detailed Experience: I’ve been using this hub daily, and it’s been great for connecting my flight sim gear, like the joystick, throttle quadrant, and pedals. It handles all those peripherals with ease, no issues with lag or power. I’ve also got a few SSD drives plugged into it, and the data transfer speed is excellent—fast, reliable, and consistent. The 10 ports give me more than enough room to connect everything I need without running out of space. Soon I might need another! Key Features & Benefits: The powered aspect is crucial for me because I don’t have to worry about draining my laptop’s battery. The 10 USB ports are a godsend, and everything connects seamlessly with no interruptions. I also appreciate the USB 3.1/3.2 speeds, which make a noticeable difference when transferring large files or gaming. Cons: It is a bit bigger than I expected, so it takes up more space than some smaller hubs. The cable that connects to the laptop could also be a little longer for more flexibility in where you place the hub. Not a big issue just something to be aware of. Final Thoughts/Recommendation: Overall, this hub has been a game-changer for me. It’s perfect for anyone with a lot of peripherals or storage devices, especially if you’re into gaming or need fast, reliable connections. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to simplify their setup. Will definitely buy another when I need to which might be soon. Who needs 20+ USB ports? - me!

Excelente Hub, muy recomendable! Esos switches independientes para cada puerto son muy prácticos.

This is a quality unit, enough power and every port works great.

At original test the device appeared no good. After advising seller of issue for which no reply investigation found that the Type A to Type B USB cable was to fault. The Type C to Type B handled Gen 2. the former did not. Something not expected and can be rectified fairly easily by either proper Type A to B cable replacement or ensuring Type C to Type B Gen 2 or with appropriate adapter can be used. Documentation provided is very limited and Absolutely no information to forewarn of this issue.

Though somewhat expensive, it’s a chunky 10Gb hub with 3 hub chips. Performance is the best on the two ports near the type B port to the host where they’re hubbed once only. Other 8 ports are hubbed twice and do hamper performance of high speed devices a bit like portable SSDs. This is a limitation of USB protocol that is one port can be split into a maximum of 4. Hope this hub will last.
