SABRENT 4 Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Lit Power Switches, Includes 5V/2.5A Power Adapter (HB-UMP3)

I have purchased a few of Saberent products over the years, they have always worked well, good price, and still working, even the packaging is great, can always read the directions if needed, this is a USA COMPANY, WHO HAS NOT MOVED TO CHINA! This company will be my 1st choice from now on, Thank you Sabrent😉!!! Their products just work!

I am able to connect multiple external drives using the hub and has significantly improved windows performance. The previous hub(s) did not provide enough power to the drive and caused performance issues. Some of them reserved 15W and use the rest of the power for charging devices - even these hubs had problems.

For me this works very well. I am not a high tech person. I like the convenience of adding more accessories to my computer.

Here is my review of the Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub and 5V/2.5A power adapter Sabrent 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual Power Switches and LEDs included 5V/2.5A power adapter (HB-UMP3) : My laptop has only 2 usb3.0 ports, and I have a plethora of devices that I have to plug in. Ethernet to usb, external hard drive, mouse, flash drives. And I really needed something to fit my needs. I found many devices that I thought would fit my needs, some looked tad nice than this one (with brushed aluminum and sleeker designs), but this was the best one I could find that had a power adapter. One main concern I had was powering my external hard drive. I didn't want it to run on low power, which can damage the drive. And having multiple devices plugged into one port doesn't supply them all with the right amount of power. So this one it is! I received the item from my residence hall's front desk (go college!). Prime 2 day shipping worked like a breeze (unlike last time...). As soon as i received the box, i turned it on its side to carry it with one hand: and I could feel the contents of the box shift and smack the bottom of the box. My heart sank. I bought this with the UTechSmart Uranus mouse (review here: ). Opening returning to my room I opened it and found that they had only but bubble wrap between the two items, and not around the two items. What idiot packed my box?!?!?! I was hoping nothing would be DOA because of shipping. The actual box for this was fairly nice. Sleek black cardboard, well wrapped parts. Came with the hub and attached usb cord and a nice long power adapter. I opened it up and plugged it in! I decided to try all my items one at a time. First the Ethernet. Plugged it in and... nothing. Tried different ports, tried turning on and off the buttons. Nothing. Unplugged the hub, replugged, and still nothing. Losing hope I unplugged everything, replugged, and it worked?! After further testing with various devices, I think I believe it is this. If you unplug without ejecting the hub, my CPU doesn't like it and has issues reconnecting the devices later. So after a small heart attack it works. Pros: power adapter (5'8") 4 USB3.0 ports buttons to turn items on and off works well with all my various devices speed seems to be doing fine as well Cons: Only comes in blue LEDs only light up the bottom half of the buttons ports are super tight, all devices have to be forced in and out USB cord is a tad short. Would have liked to see a few more inches on it Bit finicky with disconnecting and reconnecting Overall: Has lots of pros and cons. Cons are a few things that I can work around, so I am happy it works. For 16$ it’s not bad. Will edit if something comes up later. Due to the issues I've had, only 4/5 stars for the product. If I could give amazon a separate rating, it would probably be 2/5 stars. (one star up from my last shipment)

The unit was smaller than I thought. It works fine--needs no power when using with thumb drives. I have two powered drives that I use; in this case, the provided power adaptor also needs to be plugged in--just need another outlet.

So far so good. I'm using this with a Digital Audio Workstation (Logic Pro) on a Mac Studio. I can finally sleep the computer and also turn off my MIDI fader box which has an LED screen which was always on during sleep. I also use this to shut down my TEControl MIDI breath controller and the camera I use for Zoom and Google Meet. I stuck an iLok key in there as well and so far all of it has been working as expected. There is a bit of light leakage from "on" buttons to "off" but for me it's not a problem. (The bright ones are on and the dimmmer ones are off.) if that's the only "problem" I ever have this will remain a true 5-Star product.

Works just fine, fast and great for external hard drive management. Sabrent has always made quality peripherals.

Works well and the disconnect buttons are very handy, hower there is an issue in that it backfeeds power to the host connection. That may work well with most PCs, however on a Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 this voltage interferes with the power controller on the Raspberry Pi and prevents it from booting. You must either disconnect the hub from the Raspberry Pi until it starts booting or remove the power from the hub until the Pi starts booting. Neither is a good solution for unattended operations. The solution is to interrupt the +5V power line while leaving the ground (P-) and the two data lines (D+ and D-) intact. Unfortunately you can't open the case or the plug on the hub to cut the P+ line or insert an isolation diode so the easy fix it to use an inexpensive M/F USB power blocker. With that inline the Raspberry Pi boots reliably every time. This device will work fine as an unpowered hub but in that case you would not use the power blocker. Update: still having issues with the Raspberry Pi 4 booting reliability even with the power blocker installed so voltage must also be feeding back on the host data lines. Had to isolate this hub from the Raspberry Pi with another non-powered hub to get it to boot reliably. Taking off a star for that.

Todo lo que he comprado de la marca Sabrent me ha dejado holgadamente satisfecha. Desde la presentación del embalaje hasta la calidad de la terminación y componentes, son productos «en serio». Este hub ha resuelto una necesidad de comunicación de dos discos USB sobre un router usado como server, que solo admitía un puerto USB de salida. Intenté conectar dos discos de 5T con un hub común, pero no levantaban por falta de potencia. Este hub potenciado permite montar hasta 4 discos USB en la única entrada USB del router, con asombrosa sencillez. Solo enchufar y habilitar cada puerto con su respectivo botón de carga (cada puerto tiene un interruptor individual, algo estupendo). El router levantó los discos al instante sin ningún problema de conectividad, y los discos fueron identificados por la PC como unidades de red individuales, con excelente velocidad de acceso desde otros dispositivos. Es muy pequeño de tamaño, y no ocupa lugar en una mínima mesa o balda donde está el router. Es cierto que el cable es corto, pero para el uso que yo le doy, que es tenerlo al lado físicamente del router, sobra longitud. Se ve de buena calidad y muy buen desempeño. Estoy muy satisfecha y lo recomiendo para cualquier necesidad de hub USB. Vale cada céntimo del precio.

Ich habe 3 SATA Platten mit USB zu SATA Adaptern an einen USB Hub angeschlossen. Leider genügte die Stromversorgung eines normalen Raspberry PI 4 (und 5) für dieses Szenario nur für genau eine Platte. Sobald man zwei anschließt, fällt die Stromversorgung des USB Adapters aus. Die Platten selbst werden über eine eigene Stromversorgung versorgt. Mit diesem Adapter funktionieren alle 3 problemlos, da er eine externe Stromversorgung für die USB Ports hat. Zudem kann man jedes Gerät einzeln ein/ausschalten, wobei die Schalter in ihrer Postion verbleiben (es sind keine Tastschalter).

Wygląda na dobrze wykonany produkt.

Zeer goede USB-hub.

Perfect!
