Cons: Connected it as stated by another reviewer and still just never worked properly. Sent back and replaced, still no go. The USB part worked fine but the SATA does not. Just locked up explorer and have to reboot system.
Pros: Nice Little hub, does the job for usb port.
mouse, keyboard and Cam work perfectly on it
good price for what it does
Cons: useless sata connection. I bought it because I could use my 2 ssd 250gb but they are not detected or can't be activated. my BlackX does the job where the usb hub failed
Rosewill USB 3.0 Hub not so good.9/4/2015 11:37:36 AM
Pros: The USB 3.0 works great , nice and fast.
Cons: The SATA 2.5 doesn't work on any of my drives. None of my good drives i use will work on this. Tested 3 different 2.5 sata drives, none work on this, they work fine on my other devices. I was really wanting this too, it would have been handy.

Pros: USB ports work fine
Cons: SATA port is NOT plug and play. You have to unplug the power and USB cable from the hub. Connect the hub to the drive. Then re-plug the USB cable and power to the hub so the drive is detected. You also have to unplug the USB cable and power from the hub to disconnect otherwise you computer will continue to the think the HDD is connected.
Pros: USB3.0 is working perfectly.
Good design idea.
Metal case looks good
Cons: SATA port does not work at all, I prepare 2 hard drives to test this little device, One is 500GB regular mechanical drive (NTFS formatted already) The other is 240 SSD (NFTS formatted already) Neither can be recognized in Windows OS. (Fatal hardware initialization error) They should be both recognized immediately, because I formatted them already. through USB3.0, both are working well.
Overall Review: Half buyers complains the same issue, so I want to take the 2nd chance to replace it.
Pros: Good price, nice design, sturdy construction
Cons: SATA drive adapter does not work, no real support on Rosewill's website for this device.
Overall Review: The three USB ports work like you would expect, but after trying several HDDs on several different computers, I kept getting the same error, hardware failure in the device. All HDDs work fine connected directly to laptop and desktop mobo, but would not initiate with this hub. Very disappointing, as I am used to good quality products from Rosewill. I'm going to exchange it and hope it is isolated to this particular device. I'll update review when I receive replacement.
Pros: So far so good, the usb ports are working at usb 3.0 speed. the hdd sata port gets my hdd instantly connected. what else, oh, the compatibility, they are working well with my Win7, no obvious slow down or disconnection. but i cannot test win 8 or 8.1, simply do not have them on my laptops or PCs.
Pros: Good features if it worked as it should.
Cons: Connected it as stated by another reviewer and still just never worked properly. Sent back and replaced, still no go. The USB part worked fine but the SATA does not. Just locked up explorer and have to reboot system.
