Manhattan 7-Port USB 2.0 Ultra Hub, Plug and Play C Windows and Mac Compatible

I use this as a music and Midi hub for my elektron synths via overbridge on M1 MacBook Pro (with a standard usb to usbc) and PC having 3 devices running at the same time with zero issues. Solid build too, and as many ports as you could ask for.

It's so hard on Amazon.de to find a decent USB hub for around the 30 euro mark. All of the regular USB hubs have one 1 single Transaction Translator and If you're like me and want all your devices to have their optimal speed, well then this would be the perfect solution for you. With multiple TTs, each Port has its own separate TT and not just 1 and they all work to bring up the speeds to maximum. It's really sad that the most advertised products for USBs on Amazon are really bad, I had to really look in the depths for this one. The cable is too short, however, they provide you with an extra USB cable to compensate for that. The cable is short was good for my particular case, because I want to put it behind my case, so It doesn't really matter. I also noticed the plug is American and not European (For German markets), thankfully I have a spare converter laying around, so that's fixed. I love the design, It's small, it works, couldn't be any happier.

I bought this to replace three smaller USB hubs that are attached to a music workstation laptop computer. These tend to end up with a lot of devices hanging from their USB ports! I now have a lot less clutter in my music-making den, and the hub is able to provide USB power to a USB/MIDI keyboard (Samson Graphite) and an Arturial SparkLE controller, as well as things such as a Scarlett audio interface. The plus point for me is the separation of the USB data streams within the box, which helps prevent the devices attached from affecting each other's bandwidth if they are working hard, as they can be when there's a lot of music data flying about that is timing-critical. I'd only experienced issues once or twice with my old setup, but those issues have been fixed by moving to this flexible hub and freeing up two other ports on the laptop previously occupied by other hubs. It was no big deal to me that this hub is USB2.0, since only two bits of my music setup use USB3.x anyway, and they can use the laptop port "as is". While the ports around the edge of the hub are nice and discreet, the top ones, if you are really loading it up, can spoil the sleek look when they are hooked up! But that's my one gripe, and not enough of one to make it less than a 5-star gadget. It is, after all, there to do a job, and it does it well.

Bought to use with a raspberry Pi 2. Works perfectly. I am able to power the pi through the hub and also connect three 3.5" hdd's

Got this with my raspberry pi and bought another one for my son.
