Our take
SY-HUB20078 is a powered desktop option when two USB 3.0 ports plus five USB 2.0 ports fit the device mix.
A powered desktop setup mixing a small number of newer storage devices with lower-speed USB peripherals that can use USB 2.0..
It is not a fit when every device needs USB 3.x, the host plug must be confirmed in advance, or the exact current Amazon offer must be proven.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- PCNation corroborates the SY-HUB20078 model and its two-plus-five generation split.
- An imported record lists an AC adapter and USB 3.0 cable.
- The separate USB 2.0 count can suit lower-speed peripherals.
What to weigh up
- Five of the seven data ports are USB 2.0 rather than USB 3.0.
- The saved sources do not establish the computer-side plug shape.
- The importer uses IO CREST in its brand field, and the live Amazon offer is unverified.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
Match the two USB 3.0 ports to faster devices
SY-HUB20078 has seven data sockets split into two USB 3.0 ports and five USB 2.0 ports. Put storage or other devices that require USB 3.0 on one of the two faster sockets. Keyboards, mice, printers, and other lower-speed peripherals may fit the five USB 2.0 connections. Do not describe all seven as USB 3.0 because the included cable or product title mentions that generation. The generation split is the main choice in this model: it can serve a mixed desk, but not one where every attached device needs USB 3.x. Since there are only two USB 3.0 sockets, reserve those for the devices that benefit most from the higher interface generation and place lower-speed accessories on the USB 2.0 group. The saved port map does not identify a per-socket speed beyond that split or promise separate full-rate transfers. If several fast storage devices are central to the setup, the two-port allocation may be a practical limitation even though seven devices can be attached.
Use the supplied adapter for a powered desk setup
The imported product record lists an AC adapter and a USB 3.0 cable, making this a powered hub rather than a simple bus-powered splitter. The saved sources do not quantify the available current per port or the shared output when several devices are connected. If external drives or other power-hungry equipment will share the hub, verify the current product documentation for an output budget. The presence of an adapter is useful for a fixed desk, but it does not guarantee any particular charging speed or simultaneous load.
Keep the host plug shape unknown until confirmed
The saved records identify the model and USB generation mix but do not settle the computer-side connector shape. Do not infer a USB-A or USB-C host from the product's USB 3.0 cable description. Check the current model diagram and the included cable ends before planning a connection to a specific computer. The hub is not described as a model-specific clamp or integrated dock, so its value is the powered port expansion rather than a special fit. If your host cable requirement is strict, this unresolved point may rule it out.
Read the brand and model fields together
PCNation identifies the part as Syba SY-HUB20078. Desertcart's imported record pairs the historical ASIN B0057UAB9I with the model, but uses IO CREST as its brand field. The manufacturer/model evidence is the basis for the Syba identity; the inconsistent importer brand field is retained rather than silently treated as a separate product. This distinction matters when searching because several seven-port hubs look similar. Compare the SY-HUB20078 code and two-USB-3.0/five-USB-2.0 map before selecting a result.
Check the current item instead of assuming the old ASIN
The imported record associates B0057UAB9I with SY-HUB20078, but the opened historical Amazon page did not verify a current offer. The tagged model search is therefore the purchase destination, not a direct-link claim. Confirm the exact model, the 2+5 port split, the adapter, and the computer-side cable in the selected listing. A seller may change the package or use a broad seven-port title. This review uses saved product records only; it makes no claim about present stock, current price, personal testing, or customer ratings.
