ORICO 15-Port USB 3.0 HUB A3H13P2 Unboxing, Teardown, and Overview

[@jamiechampion4922]

Keep up with the wonderful videos! I always look forward to them!

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words :)

Thanks for the nice video! 8:02: Of course there are 4 controllers. On the top level you have 4 ports. 3 of them go into the next level and handle 4 USB connectors each. The 4th port of the top level controller goes directly to the 13th connector. So basically you have 3*4+1=13 ports.

I used one of these (Orico A3H13P2), for many years and it functioned well. However, today the power supply failed (12v 5A). The green light on the power supply was not on, and the USB HUB was not powered. I broke open the brick power supply and one of the two large capacitors was slightly domed. I found no other defects. I assume the domed capacitor was the cause for the failure. I replaced the power brick with another 12v 5A brick that I had on hand, and the hub functioned again.

Thank you for this video!! I've been shopping for a 10-16 port USB hub for my mac mini and every one on amazon has a few horror story reviews about extremely slow speeds. This video and your video about the Orico 10 port have helped me to feel comfortable with Orico and VLI chipsets. Most reviewers on KZbin manage to talk for 30 minutes about a USB hub without talking about speed or reliability. What else could possibly matter? I think we all know how to use one. Do you know anything about the VL817 chipset? I've read that its just a newer replacement for this VL812, but I haven't found any real reviews or comparisons.

I'm really enjoying your videos, keep up the good work 😀

[@crystalscan2002]

i want one of those 0-0 , great video braxton

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

I am thinking about giving the one that works perfectly away, so you might have a chance to win one in the near future ;) . Thanks!

[@thorable530]

Its nice looking, but practically speaking the newer 16 port orico with switches costs less now and seems to use less energy, the aluminum chonky one I have is always warm, the plastic one is mostly cool to the touch and even came with a bigger power supply. That being said the aluminum one is at least twice as heavy and much more premium feeling. 16 ports for $45 on amazon right now not too bad. Better to buy big once than daisy chaining small hubs which should work in theory but even if you respect the topology limits, often things just don't.

[@eyalitmanager]

My computer does not support more than 7 ports. Is there any way to make all of the 13 ports to work?? Thanks for any answer

[@mariejohnson9665]

How do you know which port to use for which device??

[@slvrpltd]

is it possible to modify the button in a way that the hub is always on and does not need to be switched on after it received power?

[@justw4lkbesideme]

Wow thats good capacitor in that thing, ik gonna buy this brand, nice

[@sameandk7177]

That case is so cool

[@RoloisRight]

I thought the 10-port was overkill. I don't know what to think of this one. If you're going to keep the dodgy unit in use, I'd recommend you grab a roll of Kapton tape.

[@stonent]

It looks like the same metal extruded aluminum tubing used for better quality surge protectors.

[@kellibollow5278]

Nice videos man, keep it up

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Thank you!

[@bananenrepublikdeutschland9043]

very good presentation!

[@DolezalPetr]

This should be grounded, because it has a metal case. If it was grounded, you would not run into those problems with the first usb hub. 9:28

[@EasyLifeES]

Hi, How many external HDD 2,5" would be able to sustain for daily use? Thanks!

[@thorable530]

Get the orico 16 port with switches now for that and has a bigger power supply to boot, 5A vs 6.5A@12v, but even then I doubt it could spin up more than 5 drives at the same time, though it could probably sustain more if started in sequence as drives require 5v2A~ to start up, much less to keep going.

[@EasyLifeES]

@@thorable530 Thanks for your advice!

[@backgammonbacon]

Those cylinder capacitors are not solid state they are electrolytic. You are confusing surface mount with solid state.

[@domango6896]

Nice video!

[@adkodiyan]

Your brother is very cute. Was it hard to get him to cooperate?

[@CyberAlien]

Nice, I have 7 port :)

[@ericbarragan4915]

When are you going to do a video on the inspiron 530s

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

I published the overview a couple weeks back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WlfnmId8eerpI If you are referring to the "upgrade" video that will probably not be published till mid August (when my classes end) .

[@ericbarragan4915]

Sorry i meant another video because you were going to do something with it

[@cannonpro2309]

If your brother gets into technology everything you own is gonna be a dinosaur!

[@71GA]

It lacks the wall mount =/

[@hikaru-live]

This device can be a safety hazard, as at this build quality if someone took a whack from this USB hub to their head they will get some serious concussion. About that inductor, it was not soldered properly. Toroids like those are known to be difficult to solder down properly unless you either glue down the magnetic wire beforehand or take some good care when soldering. I would whip out my soldering iron and put a little bit of rework on it to make sure it is solidly soldered down to the board.

[@gonetea4081]

You know one of them ones where you just want it

[@TheOgi22]

08:14 - hey bro, buy fluid head. :)

[@Autotrope]

You have like 12 times as many usb load modules as me lol

[@dbepic6996]

I'll always be anxious of band with bottlenecks if I use that ._.

[@ДмитрийЕгоров-ю3е]

Хоть один человек внутренности показал

[@circletech7745]

your brother looks pissed lol

[@AAComputersandTechnology]

Haha, he does look a little mad :p
