Does the job. Very lightweight so suitable for keeping in your travel bag with your laptop or compatible tablet. My PC recognized it instantly on connection and the power light works. Cord is the length stated and is sturdy although just a bit stiff. Not so much as to be a nuisance but with such a lightweight device it can be awkward as the cord weights more than the plug unit at the end. Device is not going to be suitable for charging more than one device at a time as the power is only from your PC/Laptop etc, there is no external power. Do not use with power hungry devices, stick to thumb drives, cameras and such. This is not a heavy duty hub but is more than useful for the intended purposes.

This is pretty nice, but the other one I have is nicer. It gives the 3.0 speeds, but its made a little on the flimsy side. The other one is also less expensive so I had to ding this one 1 star since its not as nice at the other one I have. Its all plastic, and definitely is flimsy. The housing just snaps together. Overall you cant go wrong with this item, so long as you are careful with it. Though you can get the same type of item for less money, that is also made a little better too...

For compter

I ordered this product to address some USB port capacity issues I have been facing with a laptop I have to use for work. This is a nice small and lightweight device with 4 USB 3.0 ports. Not much else to it. Good hard plastic construction on the case and the USB-A connector is good quality. Great value!

It does everything that it says on the tin. I use this as a small charging station for my devices (headphones, tablets, phone) plugged into an adapter in a wall socket. It provides power, has a low profile, and there is little else to be said about it, which is a good thing. It is a simple hub that performs its task well.

I have another 4 Port USB Hub that I find invaluable and when I saw this one with the longer cable I ordered it. The other 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub is branded PHIXERO, but they are both made by the same manufacturer, Shenzhen Orico Technologies Co., Ltd. from China. USB Hub, PHIXERO 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub Multi USB Port Expander, Fast Data Transfer USB Splitter for Laptop, Compatible with All USB Port Device The sellers’ listing ads for both hubs states that their hub is not meant for charging purposes, but I thought I’d try it anyway. I was able to simultaneously run a 5” USB powered fan on Low, charge my earbuds, my phone and a rechargeable portable vacuum. The vacuum drew the most and when I unplugged it, I heard the fan speed increase. This “test” included some accommodations though, for example, I’m not charging any high draw items. I was pleased to learn that it does work for charging, but I can tell it is designed for data transfer, etc. That’s where it shines. This will work great with my Mac Mini which has no free USB ports. I especially like the longer cable. Also, I haven’t used for download/upload, photo or music transfer so I can’t speak to that. 5 Gbps is testable and I’d be surprised if it didn’t perform as expected. At the time of this writing, this 4 Port SANZANG USB Hub with a generous cable length of about a meter was retailing for $10.99, while the same manufacturer, but different branded 4 port USB hub by PHIXERO was retailing for $7.99, $3.00 cheaper. This little hub weighs almost nothing and I could see taking it on trips or when I’m camping. It is easy to use and includes a tiny, light blue LED indicator light. The 4 individual ports are backlit with the same light blue light, making fitment in the dark easier. If you are in the market for an affordable, light weight 4 Port USB 3.0 hub with 5 Gbps transfer rate, then this one should be on your short list, as it’s an excellent choice. Highly recommended 5 STARS!

So considering that this is made in China, I would not trust it for any sensitive information pass through, but for my intended purposes it is a great buy. I plan on using this in my RV as a splitter for the built in DC system to allow for multiple devices charging from the workstation where there is only a single USB port currently. Testing here at home went well and everything charged as expected across the ports.

This is a great USB port expander. I ran out of spaces in mine. It works Great!

This does exactly what I needed it for....needing more USB ports for my Mac Mini. This is great and has a short cord, which is perfect. No external power needed and that makes it better for me so that I dont have more cords. Recommend this for someone who is needing it for their computer.

Would not charge multiple phones. May work for other attachments on a computer.
