TP-Link UH720 - USB 3.0 7-Ports Hub to power my external FreeNAS hard drives

[@slyknezz6862]

THANK YOU!!! Your literally the only person whom has shown the power supply info in the video! I have a few Power Supply plugs that I have mixed up and wasn't sure which one goes to my TP Link Hub.... Until Now! Thanks so much for being so efficient and showing that info!

[@svartling]

You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help

[@AntonioCT-7997]

Big big thank you aswell could not find if it had external power!!!❤

[@svartling]

Great

I'm in a similar situation and need to purchase some USB 3.0 Powered HUB to connect more drives to my Plex server. One question. What about a power outage or a remote server restart? Do the drives connected to this USB 3.0 Hub start automatically, or do you have to press the power button after each power outage to supply power to the USB ports?

[@svartling]

It remembers which ones that is on and gives power to them.

[@EV1LDRAG0N]

Hi, I didn't find a longer USB - micro B conector cable, would it be any problem if I conect it to a USB 3.0 5 meters extender?

[@svartling]

I don’t think so

[@ArindamGhoshal]

Thanks for the unboxing. btw, which operating system you are running on your desktop??

[@svartling]

That is Samsung DeX

[@sandrucristian1983]

very nice presentation, you convinced me to buy one too

[@svartling]

Great 👍🏻

[@derbaronfpv2354]

hey thanks for the video! is there a way do have a distance around 10m between the hub and the pc ?

[@svartling]

Well if you can get a 10m usb cable, then I guess it is quite possible

[@abarakat2241]

thanks for the great video! I have a question, do you know if this would work properly if you use usb-a to usb-c adapter on a laptop that's doesn't have usb-a ports?

[@svartling]

I actually don't know that. Theoretically it would I guess.

[@grahamhayman3549]

Just wondered if its necessary to shut down the system before connecting to the Hub? Isn't everything hot swappable?

[@svartling]

No it’s not hot swappable. It’s normal usb and usb drives. I think you need a dedicated nas for that

[@drzaanko4255]

Do you have any idea if it can power 7 drives? I'm guessing 12v @4A = 48Watts and a drive uses about 5 watts? so technically it should be able to?

[@svartling]

I have problems with 7 but 6 works

[@bhaumikgohel2340]

So what is your review after 6 months of usage? any hurdles? and what is the difference between the UH720 and UH700 Hub?

[@svartling]

It’s fantastic. Has worked perfectly fine with no problems what’s so ever. I don’t know the difference.

The two charging ports on the side

Does it work even if I only plug it to a computer without plugging it to an electrical source?

[@svartling]

No this version needs an electrical source.

[@talahib3498]

@@svartling It works without an electrical source. For USB network adapters, keyboard, mouse, headset

[@svartling]

Yes that’s true

[@kirtuniajisan7483]

What is the name of USB cable used in it?? At 2: 20 sec

[@svartling]

It’s the cable that comes with the hub.

[@Mr.Handymaan]

Its a Micro B cable :)

[@pahulkingra5698]

What if I have a USB Micro B to USB C cable. Can I use it to connect this hub directly into the USB C port on my MacBook?

[@svartling]

I don’t think so, you have to try for yourself

[@reinaldomoreira6842]

hi. so your hdd doest have a power supply right? if i have a power supplly in my hdds, can i use a simple usb 3.0 hub or do i need a hub with power supply?

[@svartling]

Right. And yes you can use a simple usb hub if all your drives has a power supply.

[@AndresReviews]

does the hub work without the external AC power connected?

[@svartling]

Yes but only with one port available then. You need the power to support all ports.

[@AndresReviews]

thanks! @@svartling

[@YoukMetal]

If I want to connect hard drives then do I need external power? Doesn't it work just by connecting the USB TP-Link UH720 to the laptop and hard drives to the TP-Link UH720?

[@svartling]

The tp link comes with external power plug that you need to power more than one external hard drive without external power

[@SalamanderFangskin]

Thanks for the review! Do you think I can use it for 7 external usb hard drives of 7 tb that also have their own power supply? 🤔

[@svartling]

I think you will get problems then. Even if they have their own power. 4 is what I managed without problems

[@SalamanderFangskin]

@@svartling Thank you! I understand . 👍

[@akwariat5278]

Is it able to connect , mouse , keyboard, headset and external hard drive at one time??

[@svartling]

I haven't tried, but why not?

[@ramli1111]

can i use a longer micro b cable to use with the hub?

[@svartling]

Yes if you have one I can’t see why not

[@pogiboi6814]

Hello! Does this work with Windows 10? Thanks.

[@svartling]

I don’t use Windows but I can’t see why it should t. It’s a USB hub as any other hub.

[@pogiboi6814]

@@svartling Ok, thanks!

[@akito7958]

Is it still good when I'm gonna use 10meters cable? Cable is connected from pc to hub.

[@svartling]

It will work but with a bit slower speed

@@svartling okay thank you sir!

[@akito7958]

@@svartling I'm planning to set up another set of monitor, keyboard, and mouse to my other room so that I can use my same pc. So i'm gonna use that type of hub for my keyboard and mouse. Do you think it's achievable?

Well with long cables I guess it’s achievable

Does it work while my laptop is off?

I haven’t tried but it has its own power so basically it should. But what will you use it for then?

This has very low speeds, up to 40mb/s it is bottlenecked even on bigger files. Its advertisting on 5gbps is quite fake

That’s too bad

Aaallll toooo sloooow.. You not even show the KAN port.. And do you keep turning arround a simple power adapter forever, and the same with simple wire.. Oh my God.. A BIG THUMBS DOWN FROM ME
