Customer Reviews

Works PerfectlyI received the Ssabrent 4-Port Mini-Portable USB 3.0 Hub earlier this week, and I put it through its paces right away. I connected it to my Windows 10 based PC, and it was instantly up and running. Next, I plugged my iPhone 6, and two large capacity USB-driven external hard drives into this little hub. Without going into unnecessary details, suffice to say that all three devices were up and running in record time. I uploaded a bunch of pictures and videos from my iPhone, and saved everything to the two external hard drive. Then I spent a couple hours deleting, renaming, or moving stored pics and videos. The Sabrent performed remarkably.The Sabrent is very light weight, and it s one foot cord tends to pull the hub off the top of my computer desk. That issue was easily corrected with a section of double-sided tape. I used one section of removable, double-sided tape that came with a package of small, plastic, wall hooks. Now the hub stays put and is readily accessible.5Works, but degrades raw performance by 18% when harddrives are attached.Pros: It works, it's smal(ish)l, it's white and cute. I'll use it for non-harddrive/performance applications.Cons: I bought it because I thought it might (might!) improve throughput between some external drives (I have a < USB 3.0 ports on my PC than external harddrives hooked up), or at the very least let me free up some ports on my motherboard, but performance is ~18% slower when using this hub when doing drive to drive copies.Tests: - When Drive 1 copies to Drive 2 and both are on USB 3.0 Motherboard based ports I get ~2300 MB/Min - When Drive 1 copies to Drive 2 when Drive 1 is plugged into USB 3.0 port and Drive 2 is plugged into a USB 2.0 port I get ~2300 MB/Min. - When Drive 1 copies to Drive 2 and both are on USB 2.0 ports I get ~2300 MB/min. - When Drive 1 copies to Drive 2 when BOTH are hanging off this hub (and on USB 3.0 port on computer) I only get ~1900MB/min. (I used a single 3GB file as my sample file, since I was mostly concerned with raw throughput for my application)So, as I suspected, the hard drives can't take advantage of the extra USB 3.0 bandwidth, but the real problem is when placed on this HUB actually degrade in performance.3Great product, good price, linux-compatible. A good travel accessory I bought this to use with my HP 14" Chromebook, but it will be useful to anyone with a Chromebook or laptop with a USB 3.0 port. It is cheap, works as advertised and is detected and works out of the box in Linux. It will be particular useful if your computer has limited USB ports or limited USB 3.0 ports.If you want to use multiple high-speed USB 2.0 devices, such as Wifi dongle, external USB storage, SD card readers etc, this is an excellent buy. The three external USB 3.0 ports (backward compatible with USB 2.0) will easily allow 3 USB 2.0 devices to work at USB HighSpeed (400 Mbits/sec each).Note that when using multiple USB 3.0 ports with this device, all the devices TOGETHER share a single host USB 3.0 ports. So the total bandwidth across all devices is limited to bandwidth of a singls USB 3.0 port (5 Gbits/sec). 5Corrupted an external SSD I purchased this to use with an ASUS Transformer T100 variant that has a single USB3 port available in its keyboard dock. It seemed to work well on another laptop (full-sized Dell) and I brought it with me on a trip, trusting that it would perform similarly. I connected it and then attached the SSD (a Sandisk Ultra II in an external case) and it seemed to mount OK, but then disappeared. When I disconnected and reconnected it, I got no results at all, though the power light did light up on the external drive case. I disconnected and reconnected the drive, and then the hub as well, and tried to reattach it, and this time was greeted by a pop-up that said "(drive letter): The parameter is incorrect." This was all I was able to get on subsequent attempts as well. Checking on another computer showed that the drive was now reading as "RAW", unformatted - which meant all the drive's former contents were lost. (Fortunately, I had backups.) I was able to (apparently) successfully reformat the drive, but am now concerned that it may actually have been damaged :(I've checked and the most power demand this SSD should have been making was 5V/580mA on read when first connected, so I don't believe power was an issue. I have no idea exactly what caused the drive to get corrupted, except that it was working fine before I attempted to connect it through this hub.Unfortunately, I'm now outside the return window for this item, or it would certainly be going back as defective, so I'm posting this review as a cautionary tale. It gets two stars because it is attractively made and its metal case seems rugged, and it has the perfect form factor to work with a single USB port on an ultralight. Just hope that your experiences with it are better than mine... 2A perfect solution for my unusual situation.This USB hub is exactly the thing I was looking for. Recently I was forced into a wheelchair. I fought it for years but the many falls and the back pain from Spinal Stenosis, Parkinson s and just age catching up kind of made it necessary. The chair is one of those power models and is quite capable of six miles per hour, go into full recline, rise to tall table height and other features I m not sure what they do. One of the special features is a USB3 port. The port is hot so it works even when the chairs power is off. The second thing I needed was a hub that would be able to keep all four hubs hot using the USB port the chair offered. Turns out the hub works flawlessly using my chairs port. Now I know there s a lot of gadget freaks out there so you ll understand completely where I m coming from. Here at Amazon there are hundreds if not thousands of gadgets that either run off USB power or use USB to charge them. I need flashlights to use as headlights for night use. Taillights for safety at night. A reading lamp would be nice. A place for my 20000mAh power bank, which by the way works fine as well as my iPhone 7+,iPad Pro 9.75 and the Apple Pencil. Gripes there s even twinkle lights that use a USB port. I m still having fun searching for gadgets I might find useful or fun. All kidding aside. This USB hub, even so tiny, has the power I was looking for and so far exceeds my expectations.This review was written without any financial considerations. I neither received the item for free or a discount. Full Amazon retail was paid. I can try to answer any questions you may have about this product or any of the many other reviews I ve posted. If you think this review was helpful please check the box below.5Uses VIA VL813-Q7 chip, works well under Linux, nice & compact, but power fanout can be limitedI bought two of these to build into a custom 6-drive storage array, attracted by the tiny size and low price, and they've performed very well in this role. I took them out of their cases to mount the bare circuit boards by their four corner holes (normally filled by plastic posts), so I had a good look at the internals, and build quality seems good - the port connectors, in particular hold onto inserted cables snugly, with no "wiggle".The short captive cable, which remains well-anchored even with the case off (it terminates at solid pin headers, rather than bare wires) is quite thin for having 10 conductors inside plus shielding, thinner than any other USB3 cable I have. I'm not concerned about this for my application, but this might be of some durability concern if it's frequency coiled up, kinked, etc. in portable use.The main chip is a VIA Labs VT813-Q7 (identifying as VID:PID 2109:0813, plus 2109:2813 for the USB2.0 part), a reputable controller without any bugs that I know of. This is on the bottom of the board. A Winbond SPI serial EEPROM on the top side, between two ports holds its firmware.There is no connector for an external power supply, so as with any bus-powered hub available power from the single host port must be split across all downstream devices. The tiny size of this hub also means there's no room for any large electrolytic capacitors to help buffer the power, only tiny surface-mount ones. This means there's a certain risk of something like a bus-powered USB hard drive suddenly spinning down if you plug in another power-hungry device (like a second hard drive) while it's running. Results will depend on your mix of devices, as well as the current-delivering capacity and exact voltage of the computer host port you plug this into. On certain laptops, I've noticed some of the USB3 ports are "stronger" than others (less voltage drop under load), so it's work experimenting.Note that this hub advertises itself to the host as having per-port power switching and overcurrent protection (wHubCharacteristic 0x0009 in lsusb -v), since the VT813 chip is capable of that, but it actually does not - these features require additional components on the board which are not included. Instead, all +5V pins are simply wired together in parallel. This is commonplace on inexpensive hubs, and one can't really complain for the price, but it would be good for the manufacturer to update their firmware so that it doesn't falsely claim these missing capabilities. The lack of internal overcurrent protection may explain some of the "melted case" experiences -- with a simple hub like this, any limiting of current flow is entirely up to the host device.During initial testing, before building these into the drive cabinet, I noticed that one of my portable 2.5" USB3 drives (a Toshiba Canvio 2TB), upon being initially plugged into these hubs would often, but not always, spin up, then spin back down, then spin up again, regardless of the port used, and even when it was the only device connected. This behavior persisted even after I modified the hubs to draw from a dedicated +5V supply (which required soldering it on - there's no connector). None of my other portable hard drives did this, and the Toshiba would still operate perfectly after spinning up for the second time, so it could just be a quirk of that specific device, though it never does this when directly connected to a host port.All drives in my array are self-powered, so power from the hub isn't really any issue, but as the manufacturer notes, this isn't the best choice if you're mainly interested in charging multiple devices at once.5Poor qualityThis mini USB does not work properly on my Surface Pro 2017. I did connect a mouse and External Hard Disk 2 TB. When both are connected the Surface shows a msm alerting that the device connected is not working right. In fact the mouse lose precision. If you flip it 180 degree the mouse doesn't work. Someone else had the same problem I read. If you eject a external memory and plug again this Mini USB will not recognize the memory, so you have to reconnect again the Mini USB.1Generates Noise in GPS Band disrupting phone-based GPS operationI purchased this for my Tesla Model 3, so I could charge two phones AND use a USB Drive for the dashcam and music storage. For all of the above, it worked fine. However, I noticed that when I tried to use a GPS-enabled app on my phone while docked near the device, GPS wouldn't work. If I undocked and moved the phone (Google Pixel 2 XL) away from the USB hub, GPS would work fine. I tried this on another phone (iPhone 8 Plus), the same thing occurred...no GPS location when the phone was docked. Since I had added the hub and a Samsung 256GB drive, I removed the drive to see if it might be the issue...no. The issue only went away when I removed the Sabrent USB hub.So, while I don't have a spectrum analyzer handy (may be able to grab one at work and confirm), it appears this device is emitting RF at, our near, the 1525 MHz range, causing interference with nearby GPS operation.2Can't believe how well it works! I have not had any problem with this port. It has worked very well - I just plugged it in. I have a newer computer, so that may have helped. The device came with a little card reaching out to customers who were having trouble installing it, so I anticipated some difficulty, but did not have any. The company also reached out via email to assure that I was happy with the product. I appreciate knowing that there was support readily available because I am not technology savvy. In fact, I was less than pleased when I realized how few USB ports my new laptop had; and this little device solved that problem completely because now I can plug in my DVD drive (the laptop was also without that); my mouse; my thumb drive; and now even have room for my e-cigarette! I highly recommend purchasing this extremely affordable USB device. 5Nice product I am surprised by the negative reviews for this product. Although I've only had this product for a week, it installed without a hitch on a Windows 7 Pro desktop in a USB3 port and since then has performed nicely without a hitch (though so far with not more than 2 items plugged in at a time).I do have a design improvement recommendation, although I'm not sure how it could be implemented: When rotated to a horizontal position, the device can place pressure on the USB port when inserting a USB plug. To deal with this, I have placed a piece of foam between the device and the surface on the desktop in which there would otherwise be a gap.The other option to avoid pressure on the port is to remove it every time you insert or remove a device, something which I think is self-defeating. 5The USB hub that connects the past with the futureIf you bought a new computer with a USB-C port, you will need this kind of hub to make the most of it. Be you in a transition to USB-C peripherals or simply intent on adding I/O to support your older USB-A peripherals, Sabrent has come through with a hub that combines the cost, function, and style, that will satisfy the demanding PC user.The Sabrent 4-port hub is networking peripheral that that turns one USB-C port into four USB-A the more ubiquitous port we know. Built for the USB 3.0 standard, this hub accommodates the 5Gb/s transfer speed yet with backward compatibility for older devices. For those that are completely oblivious, USB-C is a further hardware modification on the USB standard that while backward compatible with older versions of USB, the smaller and symmetrical port is slowly replacing previous revisions. In addition to the fool-proof design of USB-C port itself, the vertically positioned ports make it even easier to connect your peripherals no need to hold the hub.Really, no matter what USB version connect with the Sabrent hub, you can expect the max transfer speeds and convenience available to your device. I have used this hub with USB 2.0 flash drives and USB 3.0 external hard drives with no problems and I was still able to use an older assortment of scanners, printers, and external drives that I use to create and manage my data.5Does not work with Macbook ProI was excited to receive this product, but immediately I had problems. As soon as I plugged it into my macbook, my mac disabled my USB ports because the device was drawing too much power. This was the only usb device plugged in at the time. In addition, like many other reviewers, I felt the device was not sturdy and seemed loose in the usb port. I really want a product similar to this, but one that is well executed. This one is going back sadly.Inside the package was a note saying that I should contact their tech support if there were problems. I logged into their website, but they don't share a knowledge base of previous issues. To me this is a huge red flag that they consistently are having the same problems.Don't buy this if you're using a macbook pro. Honestly, I wouldn't buy this for any of my computers.1Great product. I didn't notice that this was pointed more towards MACs and I don't have any MAC computers. I went ahead and tried it anyway and it works great with PC's. I haven't done any benchmarks or anything but it is faster than my USB 2.0 ports and adds great expansion. The fact that it can rotate to the sides or stay vertical is great for moving it around to get it out of the way instead of unplugging it and trying to place it in another port.Bottom line, if you have a PC then this works great still and adds an adjustable and expansible mini hub to your USB 3.0 port. 5Works w/ TESLA Model 3Got this to try with Tesla Model 3 (OCT 2018). The space for the USB ports is underneath the center console in this car. I didn't want an extra cable cluttering up that cubby hole, so this fit the bill. But does it fit down under there? YES, it does! I'll upload a picture. It's solidly built. % stars.I tested it in the car for about hour. It gets a bit warm -- dunno know if that's common.5It will BURN your USB port in 5 minutes!Crappy! DO NOT BUY this CRAPPY product!I plugged mine into the Surface Pro's only USB port, tested with the newly bought SanDisk USB stick and Logitech keyboard / mouse nano-receiver. It lasted for maybe 5 minutes before I suddenly found that my mouse and keyboard don't work any more. When I look at the hub, I noticed the glaring LED was gone, and Windows reported that USB power surge -- that means some short circuit in the hub. This is ridiculous, and I cannot find any product worse than this one. It burned my computer's only USB port! I've been using USB products since early USB1.0, and this is the first time my USB port get burned by a stupid product. You are warned. I'm returning the product and backing up my computer through painfully slow wireless network now.1
