Transcend USB 3.0 4-Port Hub TS-HUB3K, Black

100% Compatible with Raspberry PI 2. Will power the Pi and anything attached to it. I like the fact that it is usb 3... if I need it for something other than Pi or if Pi gets an upgrade...its ready! NOTE: If you try to power the pi and the hub separately: If you power on the hub 1st the Pi will not boot. If you boot the Pi 1st or power the Pi off the hub everything works as you would expect. If you do not have a USB to Micro Usb cable it would be a good idea to get one. Also the hub is slightly smaller than the Pi the 2 fit nicely together.

this usb hub works well with windows 8.1 and have allowed for me to connect multiple devices to my computer as well as multiple printers as well

I bought this hub to use with my tablet, mobile phone, battery tank, etc.., to avoid carrying out all the chargers for each device when I am travelling, but also to use it as a dock station for my tablet when I am at home. The quick charge port charge my thinkpad 8 in reasonable time, and also work as hub with the Y cable (a cable for this specific tablet to use the usb port to charge and to connect a device at the same time). No problem if I use all the ports with all kind of gadgets (keyboard, mouse, usb 3.0 memory, usb 3.0 ethernet adapter, hard disk 3.0, an extra usb 2.0 passive hub, etc.). The device is able to work without the external power supply too, of course we have to be aware that some devices requires more power like hard disks, but I haven't had problems. I tried also to connect the Y cable to power the tablet and at the same time to use the hub, and although it works for a few seconds, it is very unstable and keeps loosing connection to the devices (probably due to lack of power), just for curiosity, actually I prefer to connect the Y cable to the tablet charger and leave a port free to use with other devices. I have used it for two months, if somebody ask me I would recommend this product.

J'ai hésité avant de m'en acheté un mais ça devenait nécessaire pour moi. Je voulais absolument un hub 3.0 performant et je ne suis pas décus : même avec plusieurs appareils connecté en 3.0 dessus, le débit est maximal !! ( le même que celui directemnt branché sur mon ordinateur en tout cas soit environ 100MO/s (cela dépend de vos matériels aussi bien sur)). Il y a un adaptateur secteur qui doit être utilisé si trop de machines gourmandes sont branchés sur le HUB mais cela n'est pas obligatoire si ce sont pour 1 DD externe autoalimenté + clé USB par exemple (par contre 2 DD autoalimenté ne passe pas ....). Autre chose dont je n'étais pas au courant et qui est la bienvenue : lorsque le HUB est branché au secteur, il peut recharger même lorsque l'ordinateur est éteint un appareil grâce à son port spécifique chargement. Le HUB est très petit et peut être facilement transporter. Très belle finition. 4 ports + 1 port dédié au branchement à l'ordinateur. Je recommande.

A reliable workhorse. This is my second purchase
