    Anker 3-Port USB 3.0 Portable Data Hub with 1 Gbps Ethernet Port Network Adapter for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini, iMac, XPS, Surface Pro, Notebooks, Desktop PCs, USB Flash Drives, Mobile HDD, and More

    • Transfer speeds are what I was expecting and it supports a USB3 hard drive we well without any additional power
    • However, there was a WTF moment when transferring files to a network hard drive
    • I have a two usb port Macbook Pro which I used with an old USB 2 ethernet combo hub, which worked fine except it wouldn't power portable hard drives
    • You can't plug an external USB hard drive for CD ROMs in it
    • Over all it works well, but I could not transfer files between two USB 3 hard drives connected to the hub
    • It works fine, and I use the USB ports for a label printer, an external hard drive, and a USB memory stick without any problem at all.
    • So, basically it only works for my external hard drives.
    • I also have an external hard drive connected to one of the USB ports with no issues.
    • And the USB ports let me plug in a mouse and a hard drive.
    • It "seems fine" and I had no problems connecting a portable external hard drive to it even when the laptop was running on battery, though I wouldn't try that for too long
    • This device is good for a system which may only have 1 or 2 USB ports, where you need additional ports for multiple slower devices (e.g., an external hard drive, Ethernet, + a keyboard and mouse), but if you were to do something like connect multiple high bandwidth devices to it at once, e.g., an external hard drive + capture card, then it will likely not handle such a workload
    • But this is an understood limitation and I have no plans to "max out" the device - a portable hard drive (which typically would have a high current draw) will always be connected directly to the computer using a separate USB port and not through this USB hub

    • Perfect number of ports, driving keyboard and external hard drive
    • I got this to use on my MacBook Pro 15 inch and 3 external hard drives.

    • Tb and a 500GB hard drives attached alongside.
    • They initially asked me to take off the attached 500GB hard drive and notice if the connections fails...and since the problem remained unresolved they sent me a replacement
    • Transfer speeds are what I was expecting and it supports a USB3 hard drive we well without any additional power
    • I currently have used a USB flash drive, a 1 TB hard drive & and I leave a USB wireless mouse plugged in and it works fine
    • I plugged in the external drive and the wireless thingy that connects my wireless keyboard/mouse, and the drive worked, but not the keyboard/mouse.
    • Have also used to plug in my WD external hard drive and that doesn't seem to have any issues.
