Pros: none

Scroll down to see my previous review from 2014-09-20; this is a follow-up to downgrade my vote and warn you that this product is in total failure. More in the Cons section.

Cons: I previously described in some detail my problems with this device (2014-09-20 below). At that time, the device still was partially useful and I kept it in service for that limited use while relying on a different manufacturer's product to perform the tasks this ORICO device failed to do.

In short, previously it did not appear to function as a powered hub. The power adapter made pretty lights on this hub, but it behaved as an unpowered hub.

Now it has failed at even that task.

Previously, I was able to use flash drives and other very low powered USB devices (such as a wireless dongle for my mouse). This limited capacity provided some use as it freed up ports that could be used by devices that did require power.

Over the last couple of months the various ports have begun to fail. Now only three of the seven will support any devices at all.

Summary: this is pure junk. DO NOT BUY.

I want to add that ORICO has been a customer support nightmare. Getting in touch with their people is problematic and took numerous attempts. When finally in contact, I was informed I would have to pay to ship the broken product to them, and they would then evaluate the product and determine if I was eligible for them to send me a replacement.

No. That's not how it works, ORICO.

Further addition: one of my other ORICO devices has also failed in the past month. I had one of their USB 3 external enclosures for a notebook 2.5" HDD. Umm, correction: I have one of them still. It just doesn't work anymore. I was transferring files from an SSD in the enclosure to a Windows PC when it abruptly ceased functioning without warning. Nothing I've done has revived it (different SSDs, HDDs, cables, systems, etc.). There is no visible damage, and it was used very lightly in the ~8 months or so I owned it.

Two of my ORICO devices failed completely under near-zero or very light use in 1 to 8 months. I'm out approximately $40 to ORICO and had to spend another ~$40 to replace those devices. I'm also out about 15 hours of my personal time (if not ~20 hours) trying to trouble-shoot the devices and dealing with the ORICO "customer support" run-around.

And they want me to pay more money on their bad products.

No, ORICO. That is NOT how it works.

Other Thoughts: It works like this, ORICO:

I won't buy another ORICO product again. I'm cutting my losses and throwing these devices into a landfill. You have stolen my money and over two full working days of my personal time.

You get nothing else form me. Ever.

Pros: whatever

Cons: DO NO NOT BUY THIS PRODU

Other Thoughts: I typed up a detailed review. It is now one egg, because I cannot give a zero or negative. It had detailed review with cogent details included. Newegg informs me that some word in that review is somehow "offensive," and therefore my attempt at a post is "unacceptable," I can't figure out which word. Newegg will not tell me which one is so offensive. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. The manufacturer and the seller both provide "information" that is not "reality-based." It seems I cannot use the "L" word, but the "information" (hah-ha) does not seem to be "accurate." The specifications do not meet any reasonable standards of "truth." Comments that point these "facts" out are censored by newegg. That is all.
