SABRENT 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches - Slim, Portable Design - 2 Ft Cable - Fast Data Transfer - Compatible with Mac & PC (HB-UM43)

Great value. High quality miniature unit, aluminum case, runs very cool, all ports work flawlessly. Connectors are properly snug. It has a 2-foot cord. It has an on-off switch with status light. On my computer, (Dell laptop w/ thunderbolt 4 port) the unit will stay powered up when the computer is down. It draws negligible power (my computer still shows100% charge after shutting down for an evening). This is convenient, as I use the hub with a remote cable under a sofa, and I do not have to switch it back on when I power up.

If you work with audio you know that using a hub with DACs and audio interfaces can be hit or miss; the SABRENT USB C Hub 5-in-1 Docking Station hit it out of the park. This is an excellent, reliable hub that works with not just one but two digital audio interfaces connected to my 13" M4 MacBook Air which provides it with more than enough power without having to plug it into yet another charger and AC outlet.. For hi-fi listening one USB-C to USB-B cable goes to my Topping E30II DAC, then for mixing Tractor Pro with DVS, another USB-C to USB-B cable goes to my Allen & Heath PX5. This hub is solidly constructed out of aluminum. All the ports fit every cable snugly. One side of the of the hub is blank which allowed me to affix a small rectangle of Velcro to it to mount it to the underside of my DJ mixer laptop stand which keeps my setup looking neat and tidy. The LED around the power button is a pleasing bright blue that actually provides a tiny bit of illumination over my mixer in a pitch black room. The button itself has a tactile feel that feels good. The hub is lightweight but does not feel cheap. I took a chance with Sabrent for the first time 4 years ago with one of their Sabrent M.2 SSDs and it's been fast and reliable since day one so I was confident this hub would work out of the box as well, and it did. Highly recommended, especially for your Mac and your DAW.

This SABRENT hub worked out perfectly for a project that came out of left field that required a number of USB ports. Being able to switch devices on and off as needed was icing on the cake. ● 2 foot (0.6m) cable ● Fast Data Transfer (up to 5Gbps) ● Compatible with Mac and PC ● Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices Note: Not for charging.

This review is for: SABRENT 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches - Slim, Portable Design I wish there was [also] at least one USB-C connection, however the four USB-A connections work great. I have not yet verified the actual advertised "USB 3.0" transfer speed capabilities and real-world results. I am using this for USB keyboard, mouse, and YubiKeys. No issues thus far. I like that you can use the individual switches to turn off/disable any (or all) of the four USB devices. For SABRENT: A nice enhancement to this would be to have the LED colors change when any of the buttons are on or off, so it is easier to visually see which are active or not. the constant blue can be hard to distinguish because the light bleeds to the other buttons even if one is in off position. ~humanly reviewed and written

I have a few connections that I need to plug into my computer. Rather than buying separate cables to adapt a USB-A device to a USB-C port or a USB-C device to a USB-A port, this is a handy, cost effective way of getting around the problem. Nice budget friendly hub. Works great if all you need is to add some additional USB-A ports to your machine. Most laptops now have very few ports. After you add a wired mouse and camera, you are at a loss if you wanted to plug in an external hard drive. This is a handy way of adding a few ports via a single USB-C port.

Bought this usb port in November of 2018! It's only just now started to be a little finicky, and that's on me for letting it hang down so gravity crushed the cord up top a bit. But, setting or taping it onto a flat surface would ensure even more longevity I'd bet. Figured I'd leave a review since I'll likely be buying another one in a few months if this stops working from cord damage. But even then, 7 years is nothing to sneeze at! Highly recommend, it's gotten me through having more ports on two different computers. I can plug in my camera, my drawing tablet, mouse, key board, it all works great!

Works great for my needs! The LEDs aren't so bright that you need tint film or hiding of the device - theyre just right -- and the cable is long enough that you can reasonably put it where you want. I found that all the ports are operating fine, and i'm very happy with the device. I do find it kind of odd that the LEDs are only lit up on the front half of the button, but as long as something is lit and showing me there's power, i'm happy.

I have two of these, and they work well with one exception. After it sits for a day, plugged into my HP laptop, the M.2 SSD mysteriesly becomes uncooperative. File exployer can see the files, but my EASEUS todo backup software fails to start on schedule. This may be a an issue with the laptop, the SABRENT, or the EASEUS software. Considering the successful operation of these components on my other 6 pcs my suspecian is the SABRENT, but since the problem occurs with both, whatever is causing the problem is consistent. The solution has been to unplug the SABRENT, plug it back in, and manually kick off the backup. Runs clean to completion, and as an added extra, it is very fast. it just won't run in scheduled mode. One more note, I have over 30 Samsung SSDs of various models and sizes. I have never had any problems with any of them, so I have zero suspicion that they contribute to this problem.

One of the better USB hub out there. Can even turn on/off individual port.

compact effectief as usual for amazon items. It is a good shop if you are not very mobile and do not have a car or even a drivers license !

do not waste your money on this item. made of cheap plastic. my 15$ dockteck USB hub (HDMI,LAN,3 USB) is way better and truly value for money.

半年以上使用していますが、特に接続不良とかはありません。 パソコンの色に合わせて淡い色があったらいいのにな。

J'adore ce produit qui remplace mon port ethernet défectueux. Excellent produit et fiable.
