I can't believe how much of a game changer this Anker 4-Port USB Hub has been for my setup. As someone who constantly switches between devices like my MacBook, Surface Pro, and a few external drives I always found myself frustrated by not having enough USB ports. This hub has solved that problem beautifully and I’ve had zero issues with it.The sleek aluminum design gives it a high-end feel while still being incredibly compact. I love that it’s lightweight and easy to carry around. The 2ft USB 3.0 cable is the perfect length for connecting to my laptop without cluttering my desk space. I’ve used it for everything from charging my phone to transferring large files and it works flawlessly.Performance-wise this hub supports USB 3.0 which is crucial for fast data transfers. It’s been a lifesaver when I need to move large files quickly between my devices or when I’m working with external hard drives. Everything is fast and responsive no matter how many devices I plug in at once.What really impressed me was how well it handles multiple devices at the same time without any lag or disconnecting. Whether I’m working with a USB flash drive, an external HDD, or just need to plug in my mouse and keyboard it handles everything smoothly. It’s a plug and play device with no installation required which is such a relief.I’ve tried other USB hubs in the past but this one stands out for its build quality, speed, and ease of use. If you need more ports for your MacBook, PC, or tablet this is the one to get!

Exactly what I was looking for and works great! I needed a small, top input (or relatively top), vertical slot USB hub that I could use in conjunction with a lap desk (LapGear - also sold on Amazon), for when I decide to finish up work outside of my home office and away from my desktop setup. My remote access requires the use of a smart card and reader, see pics, which becomes obtrusive when plugged into a laptop. This hub and the included velcro allowed me to mount it on my lap desk, get the smart card and reader out of the way, and provide additional ports for a wireless mouse, flash drive, etc. Several reviews criticize the short cord, but it's exactly what I was looking for in my use case, as it's less to wrap up/tuck out of the way! You can always get a USB extension cord sized to whatever length your application may require. I was also looking for a hub with an integrated cord vs. detachable (ie other designs similar to this Anker product), as it's again a smaller overall form factor and easier to maneuver the cable how I needed to route it. Build quality seems great like other Anker products I've purchased, no issues with what I have hooked up to it.

100% recommend buying this one. I've attached it to my desk and run a USB wireless headset, wireless mouse, wireless keyboard and a headset charging lead through it all at once. No issues with data transfer. Make sure it gets plugged into a USB 3.0 port though.

Perfect for connecting to the USB 3.0 port on the back of my iMac to avoid having to get up and fuss around the back of the iMac. Little green light tells you that it is connected and USB 3.0 for high speed dumping of images and videos etc onto USB sticks. Works exactly as promised and delivery from USA to Australia was lighting fast. Thanks Amazon.com.au

The build quality and functionality of this product is great. It is much smaller than the picture shows and very compact. As soon as I connected it to my laptop, I checked each and every port and confirmed that when connected to a usb 3.0 port, it gives an average speed of about 400 MB/s, which is quite good. Anker are usually of the highest quality. It is more expensive than the other hubs, but I liked its styling and it looks good on my desk.Remember that you won't get full USB 3.0 speed if:- You have connected it to USB 2.0 port on your computer- You are using all 4 port simultaneously to transfer files to your computer.

So far this simple little hub works as expected. It's built well, the data transfer is fast enough for me and the velcro that comes with the hub is helpful as it enables one to use a flash drive or charging cable without the hub sliding across the desk. So far I only have one complaint about this product and that is the bright green light on the front of the hub. In one way the light is helpful, as it lets you know it is connected and ready to go, although I think this is unnecessary. The light is bright and easy to see, but for me that is a negative element of the hub. I think too many electronics have "ON" lights that stay running forever and brighten up a workstation that some may want to stay dark. In my case, the hub is in a music studio and the cool green of the light clashes with the warm atmosphere of the music workstation that I'm trying to create. I know it sounds trivial, but it's the small things that make a difference right? :) I think a better option on the hub would be a smaller light footprint (or better yet, none at all). Have a much smaller light that flashes green once if the hub is working when you turn on your workstation or plug it into a computer. Have the same light flash red (and stay red) if there is a problem. Or have no light at all, as you'll know if it's working when you plug anything into it.Aside from the trivial light issue I would still recommend the hub. It's very nice and compact and a works well.

I purchased two of the black 4-port option for my desktop PC. These are wonderful. I have a lot of peripherals connected to my PC, including a keyboard, two mice, wireless dongles for game controllers, a webcam, a microphone, a USB DAC, and a joystick. I was constantly juggling different peripherals and having to go under my desk to switch them out when I needed to. With these, all of that is gone.They have nice, long cables, on an angle for easy placement, and they have convenient velcro strips underneath for attachment under a desk. I connected one to the back of my PC and left it under the desk so I could connect everything at once, and ran one up to the top of my desk for USB sticks and other temporary connections.I have experienced no problems and they are making using my many peripherals much easier. The only (barely)issue I have had is when trying to connect a large portable hard drive to the hub - however, I didn't expect this to work considering I was using the unpowered, 4-port hub, and was trying to connect a power-sucking portable drive to it. It makes sense. The hub simply turned off due to power draw overload, and turned back on when I unplugged the drive. If I was to have any problems, Anker has an absolutely excellent customer service system, and I am sure they would have quickly provided me with a replacement.Overall, for general usage, these are both cheap, and also have a lot of useful features that make them extremely convenient. They're also USB 3.0. I am very pleased with Anker's quality, as usual!I did not receive this product for review. I purchased them myself. I was not paid by anyone for this review.
