rguise: This was something I should have purchased a long time ago. I had been fighting with the number of USB ports that came with my laptop and needing to connect a headset, wireless mouse, camera and keyboard. I used to have to choose whether I'd be on camera and use my laptop microphone or use my better headset microphone and not turn on my camera. Now, they all flow perfectly through a single USB port.

ALSO, the movability of the USB dongle so that it can be vertical or horizontal is fantastic. Such a simple yet useful foresight by the makers of this product. I was able to adjust it so that everything fits perfectly. I highly recommend this product.

mirco farsura: Ottimo Hub per duplicare prese USB. Nessun problema di riconoscimento da parte del pc, legge tutte le periferiche collegate.
L'ho provato anche in auto ma non funziona, o meglio, funziona solo per caricare ma non si connette ad Android Auto.
Nel complesso un buon prodotto.

Devin Bagby: I like the fact that it rotates so you can keep it out of the way of your other electronics as needed. I'm not giving it a higher rating as it seems like it can be a bit picky about the peripherals plugged into it such as a portable 10-key.

Peppermint Pixie: My old laptop only has 2 usb ports. I wanted to keep one port free for my phone, so this item came in handy. I was able to plug in my wireless mouse, my external keyboard and my fan. I have had no issues with it. I did have to prop up the USB hub with a box I had eye drops in. It tends to want to lean forward from my 3 items being plugged in.
I have had no issues with the hub not responding. All items I have plugged in work fine.

ryo: エラーが出る時もあるが、普通に使える。
(差し直したりしています。)
薄型ノートパソコンを使っているのにこのハブが薄型でないのでガタガタします。
でも、２口しかないUSBポートを４口分増やせるのでやっぱり便利です。
コードがついたハブよりはかさばらないし、ハブを付けたままPCごと移動するのにもやっぱりこの形が便利。

R. Dunn: I have bought several of these, and we use them on our laptops, Home Theater PC/TV Boxes, and more. They're great for any device that you wish had more USB ports. I like that you can swivel the ports to any position. I also really like that this USB hub is unobtrusive, since it sits right up against your device's USB port that it is plugged into, and it doesn't take up any "desk" space. I especially did not want to have yet another box-type device sitting on top of my entertainment center, taking up lots of room there and collecting lots of dust. I also didn't want a USB port dangling from my laptop. IMPORTANT TIP: If you use one of these to connect USB hard drives to your device (as we do with our Home Theater PC/TV Boxes), be aware that your device will assign new USB port letters to the new USB ports that you have just added with this hub. Therefore, if you have previously designated a path for any media on a connected USB hard drive (using Kodi or other media player software), and then you plug that same hard drive into one of these new ports on this USB hub, then you will probably have to go back and change the path of your added media to the new USB port's letter so that...

TechWriter2k11TechWriter2k11: A major problem with newer, more portable computers is a lack of USB ports. The Sabrent USB 4-port expander has thus far proven a solid fix.

I've mostly owned PCs over the past decade, but I bought a first-gen Retina Macbook Pro (15-inch) in mid-2012 for its portability appeal. The big problem? The device only had two USB 3.0 ports. I mostly run in Boot Camp, and I only have 128 GB of total space, so I typically plug in a compact form factor USB. I also as a rule always use a wireless mouse. So there goes my ports.

When surveying port expanders, my criteria were:

+ Small/Compact
+ Ability to wrap backwards (so as not to interfere with the wireless mouse's domain)
+ Silver color

The Sabrent Premium 4 Port was basically the only expander I found that fit those criteria to my satisfaction, so I dove in.

I was a bit skeptical at the "Premium" claim, given that I got the 4-port expander for only $9.99 (MSRP: $20). However, upon receiving the device I can attest that it indeed has a premium feel both in construction and in the aluminum encasing. At this price, it's a pretty good deal given its merits which I will detail below.

First and...
