Can it be used to charge your devices with out hooking it up to a pc or Mac. Does it charge iPad.

A.
It will charge some smaller devices without connection to a computer but most will require hooking it up to a pc or mac. Unfortunately it will not charge the iPad is it requires 500mA and for safety reasons each port on our hub has a 5Volt 250mA output.

: 12 port USB t hub this is going to save my vacation with my grandchildren who want to take there mp3 players with them on vacation, they will be happy on the plane ridde & i will be happy becasue they are quite and I will be able to charge them after there use. Every traveler needs one of these whos taking electorincs with them.
: Is exactly what I need for my home cpu So glad I came upon this.. Its been a lifesaver to me.
: Great Quality for the Price I love the ability to switch off one of the six usb ports and have the other six turned on. It definitely saves on my external hard drive wear and tear. The lights are great because I can see which bank is on and which is off. And because it works, it is a Great product.
: I am back for more! I came back to buy more of these 12 port USB hubs. No problems at all, and I really like the way they look too. Keep up your highest level of quality, and I'll keep coming back. Thank You, Satechi!!!!
: Good product, No problems out of the box, plenty of input for my project
: Excellent Great way to keep those USB connections organized and in an easy place to access. Works well technically.
: Fantastic Hub Fantastic Hub! Handles everything from a giclee printer, to a bank of hard drives, to an iPhone. Seems to provide full power to all devices even when all ports are used. Able to use devices recommended to be used only plugged directly into computer. Plug and play without problems. convenient to be able to turn off half the ports, for instance when not using a bank of hard drives. I've even been able to daisy chain more than one with no problem, though there is a small, but expected, decrease in data through put from hard drive chained like this.
: good stuff- finally a one stop usb hub It's great cause you don't need a bunch of hubs- having this one should vcoer all my bases
: The Best USB Hub... Satechi has the Best USB Hub. I have a couple of these. The USB Hub is right at home with my laptops and plugged in without a hitch. The Hub is small and smart looking. If you need a 12 port hub, you will love this one.
: Great Product Love it! Nice not having to swapout one plug for another. Looks and works great!
: Satech1 12 Port USB Hub A great USB 12 port that can be control by two switches so only 6 ports are active or all 12 ports. They have lighting around the ports so it easy to see in low light.
: Exactly what i needed In addition to a brilliantly attractive design, this hub has the power to handle all the external paraphernalia I use with my IMac (color laser printer, photo inkjet printer, scanner, 2 hard drives, a lightscribe disc burner, wacom tablet, and more. I love it!
: Perfect powered USB Hub! Great powered USB hub. Good quality and accommodates multiple USB devices. Do not have to eject one device to swap out for another device. Plenty of ports for all your external USB devices. Would highly recommend, especially to those who are highly mobile and use a lot of external devices!
: Just The Thing! I bought one of these before for myself, this one is for my dad. Inlike other USB hubs that resemble octopus on steroids with cables sticking out every which way, this one allows all the cables to be drapped over the back of the desk in a very neat manner. If I need another USB hub, I'll probably buy another one of these.
: Please that I saw the ad and ordered the product. It took me a bit of time before I actually got around to installing it. Good product. Thanks for superior design and ease of set up.
: MACBOOK PRO USE Decided to try this after reading review by MacWorld. Works great. Has two switches so you can turn off and on the group of two 6 USB ports. The only con is this caused me to have issues with my EHD. When my EHD is plugged into my MacBook and goes to sleep, no problem. When it is plugged into this and I close the lid, it shuts down the EHD and I got error messages. After doing that several times, my EHD no longer worked. So if you keep an EHD plugged in, eject it before closing the lid.
: good product, reasonable cost. The USB hub works as it should. Delivery was prompt, and the price was reasonable.
: Your wife or partner will thank you because your desk will look much neater. It works, it makes things more organized and it's kinda pretty with the lights out.
: Almost perfect for Imac Users! So most Imac users are going to need to plug in to USB:

A keyboard
A pointing device
one or more Iphones/Ipods/Ipads
and maybe a external drive.

I have
3 external drives
Scanner
Printer
CF Card Reader
Iphone
Trackball
Intuos tablet
Video conversion accelerator
VCR Conversion cable

So as you can see, I am greatly in love with this hub. PLUS, it can provide charging power to I-devices on any port. Not too shabby.

If it had a 6" cable on it instead of a 3" it would be perfect.

: Love it This is an excellent product. Good value.
: useful i love it good quality and useful.
: Shipping from us to holland in three days I realy wanted this 12 port usb hub. I love the blue leds and the quality is very convincing. It comes with a convienend 2 sides glue strip from 3m.
Only negative aspect is that Satechie shipped it out to europe with an US power connector and no Europe one. But i solved it with a 2 euro adaptor. There is no need for a transformator since it is capable of taking the european 230 voltage.
I am happy. The fact that you can shutdown the power when not in use is also a pro for buying. Forgive me my bad english since i am a flying dutchman. satechi good job!
: Almost perfect The hub works perfectly. I especially appreciate the minimalist form factor and thoughtful design. I'm using the adhesive strip to place the hub on the front of my iMac. This is very, very useful. The only negative is that the power cable doesn't fully seat into the hub. There is about 1/4 inch of the metal part of the connector that is visible. This makes the cable connection wobble a bit. It just isn't a tight and secure fit.
: Good product. I highly recommend it. I have many devices on the USB ports. Since my MacMini only has four ports, I had to use two 6-port hubs. This plus their power supplies took up a lot of room on my shelf. This "all-in-one" takes up less space. I wish they had used a male socket on the end of the hub body, so that I could use a standard USB cable to connect to the computer.
: Best USB hub I've found yet. This USB hub is great. 10 ports that are powered. This replaced 2 Belkin hubs that were daisy chained and never seemed to work right all the time. I attached it to the back of my iMac with the enclosed two sided tape and will never be in need of a USB port.
: will not charge iPads Hoped to use it at our school, but it won't charge iPads

god otherwise, it just doesn't do what we bought it it do.
: Great product. I use my 12 Port Hub for connecting 4 external hard drives to my desktop computer. I am a digital photographer storing all of my images on external drives, not the internal drive in my computer. I no longer need to use 4 USB ports on the back of my computer, just one. The switch feature allows me to turn off the drives that I do not want on, or leave them all off, or leave them all on.
: Excellent choice Excellent choice of people with larger then average digital needs.
: Too short of usb cable The usb cable is sooooo short. I wish it was at least long enough to plug into my iMac without having to use the usb extension cord. Adding 3" or a little more would be so much better. For the lack of 2", I have to use the long usb extension cord. I also don't like that the power cord does not go all the way in to the unit base. It's like plugging a device half way into the wall receptacle. Not a safe situation.
: great product great product! love it that it has 12 ports and that there are 2 control switches
: As advertised A good powered 10 port USB hub. However, I would have liked a longer USB extension cable.
: Greeeeeaaaaat!! Great! Love only needing one hub to put all the accessories in
: Much more convenient than my previous USB Hubs I ordered several items from Satechi, of which this is one. Very happy with it. Makes organizing my many USB connections *much* easier than when I had to use a combination of hubs and ports on the computer. So far, I haven't had any trouble with the USB connections having sufficient power which is a complaint I've heard about hubs with large numbers of ports.
: Unit is ok, lights are bad. I like the unit EXCEPT for:

1. I sleep across from the computer and accessories, and the bright blue lights were a distraction. Nightly, I have to unplug the USB cable from the computer to get the lights to go out.

It would be better to do away with all the lights and replace them with one small, unobtrusive, red light.
: Best Accessory I have bought in a long time You cannot have too many USP connections with all the new devices we connect to our PC's. This device adds 11 USB slots to the one it uses. Finally, I actually have spares to let all my devices be ready to hook up. And, it is quite compact for all that capability.
: Cannot charge iPhone or iPad I like all the USB ports, but I cannot charge my iPad or iPhone using theHub.
: Works right out of the box I had no problems, although it could use an instruction sheet.
: Good, plentiful, one small flaw Only glitch I found is that if you have things plugged into the first set of ports, then turn on the second set, the things in the first set lose connection for a second.
: Nice compact USB port I purchased the 12 port USB port to bring some order to the cable mess around my computer. I like the double sided tape as I used it to mount the hub on a vertical post on my computer table. I would give it a 5 start if I knew that it would keep functional. I have had several multi port hubs and they stop working after a while or become flaky in making a connection. If this one lasts, it would be perfect.
: AWESOME HAD TROUBLE GETTING STARTED. BUT NOW IT'S WORKING GREAT. THX
: I like it. It works great. Small, doesn't take much room and my plug ins work...
: About time someone made a large capacity USB hub. I have had two hubs plus all the USB connections to my computer used up for a long time. WHen I had something new to connect, I would either have to buy a new hub and figure out where to put it, or unplug something. Now I have a compact, attractive single, large capacity USB hub that works perfectly.
: Questions? This looks great but more information would also help many of us to start ordering these. 2 Power Switches, are these for each group of USB connections?
Also what is the amps and does it support to power connectors if it is 1 amp is that per group of ports (maybe with a 2nd power supply)? Many devices need power provided from USB to run and this would be a great bit of information.
5 stars as it looks great but need more information.
: Nice product ... I love this USB hub !

The only thing i might change on it , is it does need another switch to turn lights off at night time , as it lights up the whole room . Even when using just 1 bank of ports , but it's a small sacrifice for a great product .

Nothing is 'perfect' , but this one is close to it !
