User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried to connect one printer into it so 2 pc's can use the one printer
Answer:	I've got a thumb drive, joystick, mouse, and cooler master laptop fan all hooked up to this thing at the same time. It's a vital little accessory for laptops with too few USB ports.
Question:	I would like to hook up 2 external harddrives (wd passport) and a printer. would this work? conflicting answers on last question
Answer:	If plugging this into a USB 3.1 rev1 port (used to be 3.0) then all 4 of these ports will supply a combined 900 mA of power (.9A). No device will charge very fast with that. Most quick/fast charging requires 2.4 or 3A with the USB port on a computer will not supply (unless it has a special port for such a purpose).
Question:	Does it work with monitors
Answer:	For those who might be unaware, some USB devices require a powered USB hub. So it's not that this hub doesn't require external power, but that it doesn't offer it as an option and therefore supports fewer devices.
Question:	Does this come with a wall outlet connection
Answer:	Yes. I am actually using 2 external drives with mine. 1 is 2.0 and 1 is 3.0.

User questions & answers

Question:	I have 2 external hard drives: 1 is 500 GB, 1 is 2 TB. Both have their own power cords. Will they work with this hub
Answer:	yes they will, I have a 3 tb WD, a 2 tb Fatom,and a 1tb HP they all work fine, and and any thumb drive that I plug in syncs right up.Some of the thumb drives are usb 2.0 , no problem
Question:	What is the recommended ac adapter to use with this
Answer:	JTJ said he didn't have a power jack. Either there is more than one version or he has one but didn't find it. It would be easy to miss. It's next to the USB cable. For basic devices, like a mouse, keyboard, etc, you do not need a power supply. The computer will power them, but the current the computer will supply is limited. If you plan to charge a smart phone, tablet, or something like that you should make the adapter part of your plans.(http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-100V-240V-Adapter-Support-PS-5V4A/dp/B00MRGKPH8 )
Question:	If I plug this into a 2.0 USB port on my CPU, will I still get the benefit of Sabrent's 3.0 speed? Or is it about time I update my motherboard? Thanks
Answer:	@T. Freese: No. The nature of USB is that devices can not communicate among themselves. All communication goes through the host computer. So a pair of 3.0 devices sharing a hub attached to a 2.0 computer will communicate at 2.0 speeds.
Question:	Does the fact that each has a switch mean that you can just turn each of them off without doing "safely remove" or "eject" devices
Answer:	The reason that you use the Windows Option to safely remove the drive is so that windows has a chance to close any File Pointer that is in use. If this is not done, then there is a chance that the file(s) will be locked and/or corrupted the next time the drive is accessed.So. It is recommended that you safely remove the drive before you hit that power switch on the hub.I have this hub and use it to access 1 4TB drive, 2 5TB drives and 1 8TB drive. That is a LOT of data to loose just because I got lazy.The one reason to have switches on a hub is so that you can have the drives OFF when not in use. This will save some life on the hard drive.Lance
