If I connect the charging port to my win 8 tablet and another port to a flash drive, will they work simultaneously? Hub will be connected to a/c.

I have connected my iPad to charge and had (3) TB portable hard drives and could still access them.

Yes! But not at the same time as charging the internal battery. It is a very accomplished Win 8.1 small tablet, takes some beating!

The packaging clearly states that the 2.1A is shared between the 2 USB ports. It says if you're charging a tablet & plug something in to the 2nd port, the tablet's charging rate will drop.

Most USB 2.0 hubs will recharge devices, except tablets. USB 3.0 has even more capability (900 ma vs 500 ma), but still not enough for tablets. Also, be careful not to exceed the combined capacity of the power adapter. Multiple low current devices should be okay, but limit the number of phones and devices that are more power power hungry to two at a time.

Short answer is, I don't know for sure. I recently tried bringing just my USB cables for my iPad and iPhone, and with both plugged into the USB ports, had bad luck. In the last few days, I tried the same thing, but with my iPhone plugged in to a USB, my iPad plugged into one A/C outlet and my laptop plugged into another A/C outlet and everything seemed to charge normally. So, part of my goal was leaving behind the iPad cube, but I think I still need it.

That is a great question! To be honest, I am not sure. Does the tablet have a USB plug in? If so, probably only one... I would go to the website of your Tablet manufacturer and read to see if you can use an external keyboard and/or a mouse. Keyboard...maybe...mouse, I doubt it but check. If you may use only one then go for it. But if the site says you can use both then you will need a USB hub to consolidate two devices down to one. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have connected aver 4 different devices at once (3 Smart phones, 1 Tablet) to charge without any issues. Charging using a wall charger probably is faster. As a usb hub it a great product.

Well, it depends. I have a Miix 2 8 and that adapter, and the idea is to inject power and charge the tablet while we use the external device. If you are looking to plug in a USB ethernet adapter - here it is working - http://i.imgur.com/6fRdcP4.jpgIf you want to work with a thumb drive, it works - http://i.imgur.com/J03iALM.jpgif you want to power an external drive - you'll need the Lenovo power brick (pushes around 2.2A instead of 2). If you try a 2A source like the Anker E15000 external battery will not work - http://i.imgur.com/ulNLjay.jpgYou might also need to install the Asus AiPower utility to power the port up.

Yes, depending on its configuration ...but your devices will take a long time to charge. I would use several chargers instead of a hub....but that is me.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thank you for posting your question. Unfortunately, hubs do not work well as chargers. This is because they use a different standard than chargers do, despite the similar-looking ports. For charging, we suggest purchasing a dedicated charger, or a hub specifically modified for charging, such as our http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005P2BY5I . We have a blog post about this issue on our website at http://plugable.com/2012/03/13/charging-your-ipad-or-iphone-with-a-usb-hub. Please note that even with this hub, because of limited current available from the AC adapter, you may not be able to charge from all ports at the same time. Please contact us at http://support.plugable.com if you have any additional questions. David Plugable Support

I have a Surface Pro 3, and it doesn't work well. The problem is that the unit is designs to use two USB ports and the Surface Pro only has one. To make it work I use a separate power cube from my iPad to power the second USB connection. I think you'd be better off with a drive that has a separate power supply.

The USB port worked, but I had no need to try a USB hub. The only thing that didn't work was the micro USB port

No, it only has a micro-usb port for charging. Try using an OTG cable for plugging in flash drives to your tablet.

Yes it does. This is a hub that expands one 3.0 or 2.0 USB port on your lap top, PC, Tablet to 7.IItwill supply the standard voltage & amperage to the attached devices, but is not good for charging them. If you want to charge also, pick the unit with the 2 charging ports

Micro SD works ok when the tablet is docked (I have just chequed). I have never realised that when it is docked the usb port does not work, but I tried now and it doesn't. But there are three USB ports in the dock. I recomend the dock, because it is faster to carge bateries.

As long as your tablet has the same connector it should work with out a hitch. I have used with a hub it also work that way as well but the power drain is great with multiple items

Has been so far. :-) We upgraded to Win7 a couple months ago and things kept rolling along. I have a hub plugged into this one and installed in a drive bay so that I have four ports on the front as well, and everything is good. I did blow the internal port by plugging the second hub into that one, but I didn't need it when all was said and done.
