Question: I am not looking for this to function as a hub for data, but as a charging station.  Will this charge two ipads and other devices simultaneously?
Document: I recently tested the Anker 3.0 7 Port USB Hub with two charging stations, one for Android devices and one for iPhones, iPads, iPods and such. I received the hub free from Anker in return for my honest and frank evaluation.I tested it using four simultaneous USB flash drives, my Kindle, my Android phone, my iPod nano, and my Seagate backup drive all simultaneously hooked up to the drive and running.
Keyboard, mouse, fingerprint sensor, flash drive, headset, external hard drive -- no-powered, low-powered, self-powered -- the computer cannot see them unless the hub is plugged into the outlet.When it's plugged in, this hub will charge USB devices even when the computer is off. That makes it a handy USB charging station.
This USB hub quickly became the main cellphones charging station at my home. I use 3 ports as cellphones charger, one port for the Logitech unifying receiver, one port to connect WD USB 3.0 1 TB hard drive and everything on the hub connected via the data USB cable to Android mini pc. Everything seem to be working in harmony, I plug the HDD blue LED light up then it pop-up in the screen  everything working with no problems.
Supports USB 3.0 devices at USB 3.0 speeds. Serves as a charging station even when computer is turned off, which is a bonus. Have purchased two units thus far and will probably buy additional units.
You can charge two iPads at the same time on this thing. That AC adapter also allows them to light up the hub. Now that is super cool - when you plug in a USB device, the port itself lights up blue. That makes it clear the device is plugged in and powered.There is something kind of stupid on the hub, a power button. At first I never knew if I had the thing on or off. The button doesn't change position when the hug is on or off.
Instructions suggest that while you can plug in an iPhone or iPad to transfer data, it will only charge an iPhone (which needs about 1amp (1000mA). However, the iPad is more demanding requiring 2.1A (2100mA) and this device will only put out a maximum of 900mA (slightly less than 1amp) per port. The instructions DO indicate that this device is not meant to be a charger and is not going to charge your iPad.Apple provides details here regarding charging your iPad's battery.
I bought a new computer and lost my docking station as a result. Like most people, I've got several USB devices and the idea of plugging each one in was too painful to consider. So I was looking for a USB hub, and the Anker 7-port is exactly what I needed. I can plug in printer, scanner, keyboard, mouse, external drive and still have spots for thumb drives, etc.
But it does NOT mean that it will charge devices that are connected to it. They also pointed out that this fact is listed in their description.I suggested to them that they move this limitation a bit higher on the page ... like to the top bullet points so that you don't have to scroll down to see it.I'm also perplexed by Questions answered that indicate that people are charging devices ranging from iPad Minis to iPhone with the hub. See, below for examples.
So, I had hoped that using this powered hub I'd be able to distribute the power from my wall outlet to even more USB devices.I plugged this hub into the power outlet and connected a single iPhone to it; NEITHER my iPhone 5s nor my iPhone 4s shows that it is charging.So what does "powered hub" mean? Shouldn't it be able to charge at least one device plugged into it?Since my I can't charge even a single iPhone from this hub, it is worthless to me.
And return this device.Anker Bus-Powered USB 3.0 4-Port Compact Hub with a Built-in 1ft USB 3.0 CableQuestion: Will this hub charge an iPad or other devices requiring high-amperage?Showing 1-4 of 4 answersI've only tried charging the iPad mini. Yes, plugging it in to the charging port charges the mini. HOWEVER, I just discovered this evening that plugging in to the charging port isn't the same as plugging in to the computer.
Answer: Hi, Jaxie - Yes, it will. It has a dedicated 2.1 Amp "charging only" port, which doesn't connect to a PC. The remaining PC-connected ports will also charge at the same time, but with a lower amperage (I think around 0.9 A each, based on the tech blurb about the device).
