I've been searching for a good-quality usb hub. After a few years of intense competition, there are basically two options on the market: cheap chinese crap, and cheap chinese crap in an expensive designer enclosure.
- paulmd 11y agoIt's not like any of it's made in America, so... I have one of these and it's been fine so far. http://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc-Bus-Powered-Self-Powered-Ultrabooks-Microsoft/dp/B00ID270ZU http://www.amazon.com/EasyAcc-Bus-Powered-Self-Powered-Ultra... To reiterate everyone else, Anker is great. I've had good results with TronSmart too. And the Amazon Basics lineup is universally reliable. They have all sorts of chargers/hubs/cables at reasonable prices.
- voltagex_ 11y agoIf anyone can shed some light on the supply chain for these I'd be interested - I've seen Anker, Aukey and Tronsmart 5 or 6 port chargers that look identical (performance has been almost identical too, luckily). I can't buy Anker or Aukey in Australia (easily / for a reasonable price) but I can get Tronsmart through Geekbuying.
- illumin8 11y agoI have a couple Anker USB 3 hubs (one is a 9 port and one a 7 port) and they have not had any issues.
- dawnerd 11y agoI've had really good luck with this one from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-3-0-Hub/dp/B00GGYU8TC/ http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-3-0-Hub/dp/B00GG... It's fairly inexpensive (there's smaller versions too), is powered, and backed by Amazon if there's an issue.
