Question: Is the power supply a power brick or a wall wart?  Does it only block the outlet in use when plugged in or does it block other power strip outlets?
Document: For example, to max out the unit, I connected 7 external hard drives to it (2WD Elements 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, 4 Western Digital Passport Drives and 1TOSHIBA 1TB Backup Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0&2.0) and a camera, plus my Nexus 7 (for charging). Read/write speed is just as I would expect, if I plugged each respective device directly into my computer.What's in the box:-One (1) 3.0 USB to USB connection Cable (3 ft. lenth)-One (1)  5V/5AMP power Adaptor (over 5 ft. length cable)-One (1)  double sticky adhesive strip for use in securing to the side of a desk, a wall or even your computer-The 10 port hubThe Satechi 10-Port USB 3.0 Hub is a fantastic product.
What's amazing about this USB 3.0 hub is that I have plugged into it three 1TB portable hard drives, plus my iPad, plus my iPhone and it powers and charges all of them - no problem. Bet hub ever. Most simply don't provide the juice necessary to run multiple devices at the same time. In fact, we are now putting these at each desk in our office and tossing the old ones. This is a powered hub - meaning you should plug it's power brick into an outlet.
That's because when you don't lose any, there's not a lot to say. But power comes at a price. You don't get a tiny power supply that will fit on a power strip without taking up much space. But this one is so efficient that it doesn't get hot to the touch. Neither does the hub itself. It's well built with an attractive case, has lights to indicate which ports are active, the ports themselves are illuminated, and each bank of three ports has its own power switch. The hub itself is efficient enough that I can't see turning off a bank to save power at the hub, but it does give more control over devices plugged into it.If I had to make one change, it would be to have a power cord and plug for the power supply.
Big pluses are the control that the switches give you, the LED lighting and in-use indicators (there's an indicator for each of the 9 data ports), and the beefy power supply.It also includes a 3M adhesive strip if you wanted to adhere the hub to a desk or something, but I didn't want to permanently attach it to anything.Finally, it has a 1 year warranty.If you want something smaller and with fewer ports, then I recommend this hub which I use with my notebook:HooToo HT-UH002 USB 3.0 4 Port HUBShould I encounter a problem with the hub or anything else change then I'll update this review, but as of now this is my favorite USB 3.0 hub with more than 4 ports, so 5 stars.
It is space-saving and compact, with a shiny piano black finish reminiscent of Playstation 2 accessories. I like that it is shaped like a surge protector. It makes all the ports easy to access, unlike my DomeHub which has the ports in the rear. The included 3M double-sided sticky tape lets you secure the hub to a desk or wall. It would've been great to have nail holes in the back too like my power strip does, for mounting on the wall via nails or screws.There are only 2 small considerations: the 4th switch for the side iPad port, is a tiny little nib that you slide.
I know that for some users, the extra clutter would make matters worse, and if you have a squid type power outlet device, then the last thing you'd need is one more wire. So I won't take away a star for something that's a minor inconvenience for some but an advantage for others. If you do need to worry about outlets, I'd suggest changing power strips rather than compromising on your USB hub, because getting the wrong hub could turn out to be a bigger problem.Disclaimer: Satechi sent this to me as a sample, but I had no obligation to review it.
Other items plugged into the hub--my USB music keyboards and audio interfaces--work very well, and the speeds have seemed good and the power supply is robust. The ability to turn on and off banks of three ports at a time is also convenient.
This seemed like a very good (and less expensive) alternative to the Thunderbolt hubs that are here or forthcoming. After installing it under my desk with the included adhesive strip, I plugged in the unit and attached several things: my keyboard, a monitor-based card reader, a network connection (with adapter) and a single external hard drive. Everything else worked fine except that the hard drive won't mount. If the drive is plugged in directly, it mounts. If I use the Belkin hub, it mounts.
These are unique features, not readily available on most competing products.The Satechi 10-Port hub has a power supply rated at 5 amps (5000mA), which is the highest power output I have found among the many hubs currently on the market. This product is a necessity for charging your devices, and syncing them with your computer at the same time. While testing the unit, I was able to use all nine USB 3.0 ports at the same time, recognized by my computer; and the 10th charging port for use with a tablet with no slow down in speed or capacity to power.
This is an impressive USB 3.0 hub. It looks "slick" and is well designed.It has 3 sets of 3 fast USB 3.0 ports, and each set of 3 ports can be independently controlled by a switch on the hub. When the ports are switched on, they're lit up blue. It's a pretty useful idea when you don't want to have everything active at one time. It's a lot easier (and less wear and tear) to use the switches than to unplug and replug the USB devices.It comes with a beefy power supply, so I have little doubt this device can handle more than a few power-hungry USB devices.
Answer: Yes it will block more than one outlet... It's a big plug-in power supply.
