Do you need more USB ports? TP LINK UH700 7 Port 3 0 powered USB HUB Unboxing and review

[@Jameh777]

Just bought this USB hub based off this video, as I needed to know it was indeed a powered usb hub.

I had a previous generation TP-Link Powered USB Hub with 7 Data Smart Charging USB 3.0 Ports, Compatible with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux Systems, 5V/1.5A Power Output (UH700) but nowadays some of the external drives get disconnected and reconnect. One of the 4TB desks even got corrupted due to this frequent disconnected

How old is the device if I may ask?

[@abhi19861]

[@santoshbirajdar8655]

I have been having speed issues with an external 4tb usb drive, will give this a try..

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Absolutely, M sure this will fix the issue.

[@JapaneseGigolo]

could i run my keyboard, mouse, mouse mat and headphones through this? or would it conflict? cheers.

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Absolutely, I am running, keyboard, mouse, mouse mat, logitech g29 steering wheel, 2 external HDDs, and a USB mic! Flawless.

[@Mitchacho]

I don't suppose you would know whether I would run into any compatibility issues with using this on a PS5?

Can this usb hub give power to laptop cooling pad ?

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Yes absolutely

Hey bro, can I just replace the (micro usb to usb A) cable of the hub with (micro usb to usb C) cable? Will it affect transfer speed? Or shall I just use usb A to usb C converter at my MacBook port? Which is better? I do own the original apple converter with usb,hdmi,power ports. Will that work?

[@simonafullinfaw9730]

I need to connect a midi controller to my Macbook using a powered hub. But this hub has a USB cable and my Mac only has usb type c. What do I do?

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Hey there! You can simply look up for a Type A to Type C convertor(adapter), and that should do the trick. 😊

[@simonafullinfaw9730]

@@ThrottlingFramesGaming So there's no need for a powered USB hub? The manual mentioned that I had 2 options:- Plug in directly if I have a USb port (which I don't) OR connect to a USB hub (but it must be powered). I didn't understand the logic behind wanting the hub to be powered but I wanted to play it safe and get one. I just ordered the TP Link hub 3 minutes back😅. Should I cancel it? I also have the 'AmazonBasics USB 3.1 Type-C to 4 Port USB Hub'. Will this suffice even if it's not powered?

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

So I am yet not clear on what are you trying to connect through the hub? If you have spinning HDDs or something heavy that requires power then you will be way happier with a powered USB hub. But if it's just the flash drives (pendrive) or maybe accessories which have their own power supply then the non powered USB hub can do too.

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

For the midi controller, if the midi is powered through the USB then you would want to have the powered hub because 1. It will just not connect 2. It will connect but frequent disconnections will occur 3. There will be latency in transferring the signals. But if the midi has its own power supply something like a wall brick then you can connect it through a non powered one.

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Also, Amazon basics is a joke! 😛

What is the power adapter output? I have lost my adapter and I have found conflicting info about the Amps required. Some websites say 12V 2.0A and others say 12V 2.5A.

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Hi, so there are two identical looking devices. The one in the video is the UH700 which gives out maximum power output of 5V 1.5A comes with a power adapter rated for 12V 2.5A However, its elder cousin, UH720 gives out maximum power output of 5V 2.4A which comes with a power adapter rated for 12V 4A. Hope that helps.

[@AndresReviews]

does the hub work without the external AC power connected?

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

Yes absolutely, but devices that require more power those wont work!

[@AndresReviews]

thanks! @@ThrottlingFramesGaming

[@ThrottlingFramesGaming]

More than welcome!
