Pros: Great hub that attached to my desk with Velcro- works great while transferring data, music, etc back & forth from my hard drive.

Cons: For some reason, (which I have not yet determined), it cuts out intermittently and "ejects" or does not read my USB Drive....perplexing

Pros: looks cool and is small.

Cons: win 7 64 bit doesn't see as a usb 3.0 only 2.0 I called tripp tech support they said to update the firmware. I downloaded the update and it doesn't work on 64 bit only 32 so cant update. Tripp lite sent me a new one and it had the same issue need update also. I tried it on a different computer but it win 7 64 on it also, same issue.. I tried on win 8 64 same issue when plugging a usb 3 card reader in the same port it works fine see it as usb 3. I guess I will have to wait until they get a update that will work.... i does work as a usb 2.0 hub

Other Thoughts: none

Pros: High speeds and compact.

Cons: I have two units. One has consistently worked, the other failed after almost one year. Tripplite customer service quickly replaced it. So, even though one unit failed, I am giving it five stars due to the excellent customer support from Tripplite.

Other Thoughts: Would love to see Tripplite make an eight or ten port hub USB 3 hub.

Pros: Sturdy construction, heavy USB cable included

Cons: Power cord is short, should be 6'

Other Thoughts: I bought it to add more ports to my Surface Pro when at my desk. It's fast and sturdy but cords are too short, especially power.

Pros: It works, mostly. More in cons, but it is better than others we've tried. We do a lot of heavy data copying and this will perform at high speeds with different devices.

Cons: Expensive; at 2x the competitors, it should be a 100% effective unit. Reliability; like *all* usb3 hubs, and we've tested a lot, there's some connectivity issues. One time it works, the next time it requires fiddling. This is universal to usb3 and makes us think it's implementation specific and will straighten out as chipsets mature. For now, we put up with it, and haven't lost one of these units yet. Just fiddly things.

Other Thoughts: Who the hell is in charge of quality control for usb3 spec devices? Everything we test has issues, many of them fatal. For a standard, this is the first time I have been seriously disappointed with the industry in 25 years. #fail on usb3. We're talking hubs, mainboards, adapters; only the Seagate drives have given us zero headache, and we've had hundreds of those go through the shop with no failures.

Pros: Tripp Lite eventually replaced the product that I first got from Newegg (wasn't Windows 7/64 compatible--perhaps old firmware, but wouldn't upgrade either, on multiple computers--see other review). They didn't even require me to send the initial unit back.

Cons: The replacement unit arrived when I was out of town for a month. So I've been using it now for two weeks. It worked like a charm on my Windows 7/64 ultrabook. Until last night. Then it just suddenly died. I've tried unplugging, replugging, tons of stuff. I was only using two of the four ports.

Other Thoughts: I have an old iRocks 4-port ... isn't USB3, but it's been in service for something like 8 years now, used every day. Has gone through multiple operating systems without a whimper, without any upgrading. Runs my keyboard, mouse, and camera.

Pros: very fast

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Owned it for a year now without any problems .. used it everyday

Pros: Cheap, Fast

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: Great little USB hub. I got sick of having to reach around the back of my computer to plug stuff in when I ran out of ports in the front. I just velcroed it to the side of my case to instantly give me 4 more front USB 3.0 ports.

Pros: The reviews looked good.

Cons: First use on my ultrabook. Wouldn't work in the USB 3.0 port at all (as if not plugged in); worked for one afternoon in the USB 2.0 port, from then on is not recognized by Windows. Ports work fine with other hw; device manager reports no problem with ports. Downloaded the product firmware upgrade, but the upgrade scanner can't find the unit in either port. Tried to get support from the Tripplite site, and the model # is not listed under any category on the Post-Sales Technical Support page, so I can't even file a question through their interface.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure you want to hear my other thoughts.

Manufacturer Response:

Please contact Tripp Lite’s Chicago-based Tech Support Team at 773-869-1234 and they will be able to provide troubleshooting assistance on the U360-004-R. Additionally, this USB hub comes with a 1 year warranty and we will be happy to replace the unit if it is defective and covered under the warranty. Thank you.

Pros: Externally powered (wall wart included), compact size. LEDs tell you if something is connected to one of the ports

Cons: This seemed to not be supported by my Win 7 64bit system (Laptop.) I called Tripp-Lite to find out why things would drop out that were connected and why my system would run sluggish when it is connected. No solid answer. Was told there are no firmware updates for the product and my system (new, Quad-core) must have too much on the USB bus to support/power the USB keyboard and USB mouse that was connected to this. When I mentioned that I am using the power supply with this, so powering can't be an issue, there was no more help that could be offered. This item is useless to me.
