Our Verdict

The Atolla 8-Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub is the best value among powered hubs in this category. At $25.99 for 8 ports with a dedicated 5V/2.4A charging port and an external power supply, it delivers the most ports per dollar of any powered option in this group. The external adapter gives each USB 3.0 port the current it needs without the power-sharing drop that passive hubs cause when drives and cameras connect simultaneously. At $25.99, it undercuts the TP-Link 7-port ($26.99) by $1 while adding an extra port. The SABRENT 10-port 60W hub at $47.49 adds two more ports and 60W total power delivery for $21.50 more, which matters when multiple external hard drives run at once. For most desktop users needing six to eight powered USB 3.0 ports, the Atolla 8-port is the value leader.
