First time we used this, computer crashed, but we recovered using system repair. Second time Caused computer to totally crash, had to reinstall all software again including C6, Lightroom, Photomatics, NIK and Topaz among others.

It’s small, which is good for my desk, looks good and does the job. No complaints.

I attempted to utilize this with my Microsoft Surface Pro (2017) with a wireless mouse adapter plugged into it as well as an external hard drive. If anything other than the mouse and a single flash drive were connected, such as the aforementioned hard drive, the mouse would have connection issues likely due to power draw from the other devices. For reference, I have a much older Targus USB 2.0 4-port hub and had no issues with the mouse, but with two external hard drives connected and transferring files from one to the other, the drive being copied from kept disconnecting and reconnecting. That same drive would not cooperate with with mouse wireless adapter using this hub; the mouse was barely usable and kept jumping all over the screen.

I sometimes get cheap when it comes to purchasing dongles. Not anymore after having used this brand. I would no doubt go for it again. First, in terms of construction, the quality of this thing is incredible: you can feel where your money went, and be happy about it. Then there is the quality of the internals: speed rates are as advertised, you can plug cameras for streaming 4K, ssds for editing multiple streams of 4K prores raw video, mics, and everything will work just fine. The cable that is coming with this device is long enough as for you to extend it below your desk and hide all of your connections there, while having a nice neat single cable from there to your laptop. Beautiful.

This is one of the best add-ons! It’s small, incredibly useful, and an incredible value.

Couldn’t get it to work at first until I found the on/off button. Now it works fine.

I got this to enable tethering two cameras into the same computer without switching cables. I often shoot different focal lengths with different cameras into my Mac Book Pro in my studio. This did the trick. One camera is a Canon using Lightroom, the other is a Hasselblad, using Phocus software so there is no conflict. It works great. It even charges the battery in the Hasselblad camera while shooting. Works great!

This is the second Xcellon I bought I like it because it uses its own power

This hub died almost exactly two years after I installed it. Clearly, it wasn’t engineered for durability. I have to wonder how many of its five-star reviews were written soon after the users received it. There are other annoying things about it. There’s no way to fasten it in place, so the torquing forces from multiple USB cables plugged into it tend to tip it over, forcing the user to twist it to move it back into position, which means it usually requires two-handed operation-one hand to hold it firmly in place, and the other to plug in another cable or USB flash drive. And speaking of flash drives, shortly before the unit failed completely, it refused to mount a 128 GB flash drive on the desktop. I wouldn’t have thought it would be an especially challenging task to design and manufacture a USB hub that just works, but successful completion of that goal has clearly eluded the makers of this device. If you require reliability in your peripherals, steer clear of this hub.

Although it may slow down transfers somewhat, this is a very cost-effective device for increasing USB port access on any computer with USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports

Like a lot of people, I needed an extra port or two. Theres a huge variety of them so when I told the B&H tech what I wanted it for, he recommended this one. My main concern was that even with its low price, it would not effect the speed of any program that I might use, particularly ones that I use for photos and music. Despite the enormity of my files of both, this hub works with my iMac flawlessly and Im very satisfied.

just what I needed on my studio rig

I own three of these to connect 12 hard drives to my iMac. I like products that just work and this is one of those products.

good

I have all of my external drives connected through this hub, and I can not detect any loss of speed. It’s great.

Works exactly as it should.

needed another Hub and I repeated: a USB 4311B works perfect and it is slimmer than the previous ones
Kacie Schamberger (verified owner) –
You can switch it on and off by bush the button.

Works perfectly. No problem. Nice and small.

works great, much needed for multiple dongles.
