SABRENT 4-Port Powered USB 3.0 Hub, LED Power Switches (HB-UMP3) | Individual LED-lit power switches; includes 5V/2.5A power adapter; for PC & Mac

Nice and compact and works very well

This product works great. Like another reviewer mentioned, there are times where coming out of sleep and it is powered, it requires unplugging and plugging back in for the system to detect it. Normally it would be a negative but it happens. Formerly in IT responsible for approving products, there is no perfect product because of the huge amount of possible combinations out there and it shows in product reviews of the product because you will hear of the one combination that did not work. The hub has no problems with 2 other DELLs, 1 HP Envy, or a Lenovo laptop and a dozen desktops just this oddball Spectre.Back to the review:This product works well and the individual buttons are quite helpful. For those really picky about build quality, the blue LED light is only bright on the side facing the ports but the clear ring circles the buttons. The buttons have a little more play than buttons on a PS4/xbox controller. We have 2.5 of these (more later) and the male and female plugs are snug and solid feeling. They all come with unique serial numbers and has a decent build feel to it. The use of the buttons helps wear and tear on cords and plugs since I don't have to pull out USB units I am not using. Since I travel and this laptop, keyboard, mouse, fan, etc. is my primary computer, this inexpensive feature saves wear and tear on $1000+ of equipment. My personal experience is that keeping things on when you don't need them puts more wear and tear on the device and the laptop's circuitry. Another nice feature is that the hub works with or without the power plug. If you just need usb power for your fans without hooking it to a computer, you can use it unplugged. If there is enough power for the ports, there is no voltage/amp difference on which port you plug it into which is a problem on cheaper hubs. (Tested with multimeter)About the 2.5 units, the first one I received threw error messages on my HP Spectre, At that time, I got an email for a review from Sabrent and although I wasn't sure about cause of the problem, they quickly sent me a replacement. The problem was the power brick but I got the replacement with almost no downtime.Pro:Individual buttons helps fine tune power useCan be used as passive power or with optional AC power for devices needing more powerLight on active port(s) right on button so you know at a glance versus others on the side or just one light overallGreat customer service (May 2017)Con:For the HP Spectre, waking up from sleep sometimes requires reseating plug, not a problem if powering offLights around button could be more uniform but I'd rather have something than nothing

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 portsbuttons to turn items on and offworks well with all my various devicesspeed seems to be doing fine as wellCons:Only comes in blueLEDs only light up the bottom half of the buttonsports are super tight, all devices have to be forced in and outUSB cord is a tad short. Would have liked to see a few more inches on itBit finicky with disconnecting and reconnectingOverall: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)

is powered , so what ever you plug in stays on,unless you turn it off. works greati had a mini PC that was out of USBs.. am very happy

Awesome product. Works great!

I must like them, I bought 4 more for my Lab.

My wifi travels from the house's router, to a second mesh router, across the yard (about 50-75 feet) to my wifi dongle, through one 20ft USB cable, into this powered USB hub, through a second 20ft USB cable, and into my bedroom laptop in my auxiliary building. It works! It's alive!!For MONTHS now I've been throwing money at this problem where I could get internet in the living room, but not the bedroom, which worked before, then stopped working at the same time I bought my new laptop. Which of course made me wonder if it had to do with my new laptop. But the PROBLEM all along was that my wifi extender and the router at the house were both old and sending such a weak signal that it couldn't travel down the second USB cable, even with the powered USB hub, so when I first bought this item I was annoyed because I thought I'd spent more money that didn't fix my problem. (I had already bought a second USB cable, thinking it was the cable, and a new wifi dongle, thinking it was the dongle.) But then our internet company installed a new router, and a second router to create a mesh network, and the signal is finally strong enough to travel down the second USB cable again. I guess I should have worked from the front end of the problem back, rather than back to front. DUH! lol...Anyway this handy little powered USB hub makes sure the signal stays strong, it's like a little accelerator for my wifi signal! My only possible complaint is that the part that plugs into the device from the house power seems to stop and not go fully in, but it obviously IS fully in because the unit has power. So it may just be my expectation that came up short.If you've had an internet problem like I have, this powered USB hub may help you. If it doesn't, consider that your router or wifi extender may be sending a signal too weak to travel across your wires, even with the powered USB hub. Strong equipment won't help if the signal is weak to begin with.

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.

Ce hub 4 ports USB-A est un vrai produit de qualité : il maintient la vitesse de l'USB 3.2 (5 Gbs) sur les 4 ports, ils sont munis chacun d'un interrupteur et comme le hub a sa propre alimentation (chargeur fourni) il peut fonctionner avec des appareils qui ne sont pas capables de fournir assez d'alimentation pour les périphériques USB, ce qui était mon cas. Aucun Hub USB-A pas cher ne fonctionnait avec mon appareil, celui-ci a fonctionné du premier coup !

Wygląda na dobrze wykonany produkt.

Given the price this is a excellent piece of USB-hub. I have it as a hub for a Raspberry PI4 which is running Zwave dongle and it works as planned. I also have other devices connected to it.

Zeer goede USB-hub.
