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

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.

I have bought many of these and they have lasted years! The possibilities have been endless and this product has been reliable!

I use this for my at home job computer and it is great with adding my headphones, mouse and webcam. I am able to be hardwired with no interruptions.

12-8-2020 Now the connection is so loose the device is unusable. I got 9 months out of the device. Im giving it a star because price, and Id give another for the design but Im miffed I cant use it anymore. 6-2020 Over the last few months if I leave the device plugged in, it will randomly re-plug itself in. Including while I am working from another file or drive. Really annoying. I have tried both of my USB ports. Same issue. Therefore I am taking back a star. 3 stars for the device, and adding a star for the price being low. 4 stars. 3-2020 For some reason my computer has only two USB ports. So If I hook up my printer, charge my phone, and want to do some work? Or go between USBs from different owners for work? I frequently plug in my Printer, Phone, extra monitor, and multiple USBs. With this you can have zero or 4 devices hooked up to your computer. Explaining my stars. I do not know how to evaluate the camera quality or the charging power. Cord length is about 10 inches. Is that good or bad? This works for me.

I bought this USB hub like, 4 years ago when I had almost no money and really needed a USB hub. I had no idea that what I had bought was going to last so long and be so useful. When I first got it, I was using a USB headset for voice chats, but otherwise was using external speakers. This USB hub made switching between devices a dream. All it took was a press of a button. The buttons are nice and have two distinct height levels to indicate whether theyre on or off. They also have lights, but if youre using multiple ports, there tends to be a little bit of bleed from one button to the other. This doesnt really affect how it works, though. When Id turn on the port for the headset, my PC recognized the device immediately and the drivers loaded right up. No fiddling with wires and USB superposition with a device like this. There are other hubs similar to this that also have buttons, but those arent nearly as cheap as this one. The best part is, its still going. The hub still lives after 4 years of near constant use. As of now, Im using it to power USB lights, and they work great.

My docking station at work only has two USB ports so this is perfect. I love that I can turn it on easily with the buttons.

Its not a very high quality product.

I bought the Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 to deal with a problem I was having with my Western Digital Wireless Passport. The Passport Wireless connects fine to a USB 2.0 Port, however it cannot connect to an USB3.0 for some reason. My only computer with USB 2.0 ports stopped working last winter and I was left without a way to connect it. Although the Passport Wireless can work over a WIFI signal, it requires that you disconnect the computer from the homes WIFI network to be able to see its contents, which, as you may realize, is less than ideal. I bought the Sabrent 4-Port to fool the WD Passport Wireless into thinking it was being read by a USB 2.0. It worked wonderfully! it was able to bridge the incompatibility issue I was having. I further stress tested the Sabrent-4 Port by adding two more external hard drives. Not only I was able to read and write to all 3 hard drives, but I was able to do it from my Surface tablet, which I was never able to do with other Dongles. For all the dongles I have, this one turned out to be a real life savior. If you dont have a problem like mine, you may be better off buying the USB 3.0. But I was really thankful that they still make a USB 2.0 version.

Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Individual... sold by Sabrent This is a handy usb controller and the lit PB switchs are also helpful in isolation of the sockets. Small in size can be carried most anywhere. A word of caution.... when you have drives running from this device, DONT TOUCH IT!!! I dont know if the switch contacts are not pressing hard enough or if contact somewhere else fails but you will shut down your drive by simply moving it. It works FINE as long as you do not touch or move it until the drive has completed its task. Works where you need to expand your USB drive, like with a laptop that only has one USB port. and the buttons light up when pushed to use the associated USB port. Honestly, I have had no failure using it as long as I dont touch or move it while data transfer is initiated. I took one star off because of the sensitivity of the hub but otherwise, I like it. *** I did receive an email from the seller, right after my order was in for this device. They wanted to know if there were any problems after I received it so they could take care of any concerns...... and I told them of the problem. That was the LAST I heard from them.... for what its worth. *** I am not associated nor did I receive any merchandise or monies for my unsolicited review. 180413 1453

Works fine, connects several devices to my computer.
