SABRENT 4 Port USB 2.0 Data Hub with Individual LED lit Power Switches [Charging NOT Supported] for Mac & PC (HB-UMLS)

perfect for gaming labtop that need a little more usb slots

My HP laptop only has two USB ports so this four USB port extension works in a pinch. I would have liked a longer cord to arrange all of my cords better. The cord on this is about 10 inches long.

I really like this switch. It has an input for a power adapter, which I supplied. (There seems to be some confusion about this is the Q&A answers.) It allows me to power or unpower individual devices (e.g., my Arduino processors, backup disk drives) as desired, without plugging/unplugging USB cables. I can also charge my phone or GPS, or whatever with it. The paragraph above is actually from my review of the USB2.0 version of this hub. I liked it so well I ordered the 3.0 version (with power supply) for my new machine with USB 3.0 ports. I now have it plugged into my Dynadoc U3.0 docking station so I can leave a couple of HDDs and a flash drive plugged in and take them on- or off-line using the appropriate switch if I dont forget to eject them first :-) I initially had two problems: 1. I didnt plug the power supply into my power strip - the hub will drive flash drives, but wont supply enough power to handle a disk drive. It easily handled two HDDs when I plugged in the power supply. Duh. 2. At one point, I ejected all (3) devices on the hub (a flash drive and 2 HDDs), turned off the corresponding switches, then tried to bring one of the devices back on line by turning on its switch. The computer didnt recognize the presence of the device. I managed to clear this condition by unplugging the huib from the docking station, and reinserting it. After this, each device would come up, and I could eject them all (and power them down), and could bring them online again by pushing the appropriate switch. I havent seen the problem since.

I have an iMac and I use a gaming keyboard and mouse with my iMac computer. One of the problems of this is that my gaming mouse and keyboard keep lighting up in the middle of the night while I’m asleep and while the computer is sleeping. So, I used to pull out the usb cords from my computer but I always worried that one day the usb ports would loosen. So it’s great that I can simply press a button to turn off my mouse and keyboard. I love this convenient usb hub very much!!

I was running out of usb ports on the front of my pc. This fit in nicely. I put double side tape between the hub and my tower pc. The cord is the perfect length to keep concealed along the side. I can use the hub switches to turn on and off that outlet. I do wish that I had gotten the upgrade, so I could charge my phone....but, no regrets

Was skeptical at first. But as you can see I have something in almost all the ports and it’s not overwhelmed or not working. Everything works great. I love it

My work laptop’s docking station only had 2 USB ports. I bought this USB hub so I can leave all my devices plugged. I love that there are power switches for each port. There’s a backlight to let you know when the switch is on or off. That way I can switch off my camera port to ensure privacy.

I use this to connect multiple USB items to my laptop to work from home and was really happy when it first arrived but a week after use the main USB to my laptop is already loose and disconnects randomly.

The plastic and internals leave this hub feeling rather cheap, but the usb connections are very good and hold onto things very well and the light-up buttons to turn on/off individual usb connections does very well in making up for it (very clicky, as they say). There are some issues when it comes to trying to plug in something like an external storage to a laptop, but that seems to be an issue on the laptops issue rather than the hubs. My only major complaint besides the feel is the length of the cord, seeing as its not quite a foot long. Decent product overall, only complaints are tactile and length. Will likely purchase more at some point.

This USB hub has worked great until a bit over a week ago. Whenever I share my screen in any application, all of the USB connections connected to this stop working every few seconds. Which, as you could probably assume, is very annoying.
