We're using this with a Raspberry Pi mounted to the back of a TV in a public space. The light weight of the hub made it easy for us to mount it using Velcro tape. The hub is working as expected and seems pretty well constructed. We regularly plug / unplug thumb drives into the hub, and the ports are still holding tight. The rotating USB plug is a nice touch and helped keep the cabling clean.

I purchased this item because my old one wasn't working anymore. I love this product. It works very well and should last a long time.

What a great addition to my PC. I was running out of USB ports due to wireless mouse/keyboard combos and this addressed the problem. Plugs into the front of my Dell tower. Fittings are very tight so no flopping around. Excellent tool for a very reasonable price.

It will block any other ports around it. The connection is loose. Good deal

I got this because I have a Macbook Air 13" with only 2 USB ports and I needed to have more USB ports. I love that it's a rotatable hub so no matter which side I keep it, it doesn't block any of the other ports I might use. The product material is not too high quality but since it works really well I'm perfectly fine with it. I use the ports for my laptop cooling fan, external hard drive, and the USB receivers for my external keyboard and mouse and it all works really well! However, it doesn't work when you're trying to charge or sync your devices from it and it's a little bit difficult to plugin and/or take out anything from the product itself but maybe it's because it's a completely new product. When you receive the product, you also get a note in the box that shows you how you can extend the product's warranty to 2 years and it's very easy to do! So far I'm really happy with it and would highly recommend it!

I FEEL I NEED TO MAKE AN IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have had this product for a few days now I had it sitting on my nightstand very closely next to my bed with my phone plugged in along with two tablets I probably had it to close because I wanted my phone close by while charging it my bad for having something I knew was electrical and loose and knowing it shouldn't be that loose but still using it. Thankfully I get up a lot during the night because it got so hot it burned through my sheets and my mattress cover. So with me trying to save an extra dollar I actually lost $30 sheet set and a $65 mattress cover . I didn't even realize that this thing got hot like that I knew it'd have problems staying plugged in correctly I don't know if it just melted it or had a spark the damage it did to my bedding is awful there also wasn't any smoke in the room so I don't know if that would make it a fire hazard or not . I purchased this product and was a little disappointed in it at first because the hub just wouldn't stay in tight enough and kept falling out of everything. I feel stupid looking back knowing it was loose and the hub kept falling out and it wouldn't rotate. I would tell people that own this to keep an eye on it and unplug everything when not in use. My first complaint about this product was just that it was loose and everything I plugged the main hub into that kept falling back out of. It was also an electrical mattress cover heated so I'm not sure if that added to the problem, the mattress cover worked perfectly fine the 2yrs I had it.

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 colorThe 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 foremost, the device succeeds in the utility category. I'm quite pleased with it accomplishing its intended purpose -- giving me USB ports. The product indeed allows me to plug in additional printers -- more compact USB storage, printers, etc.Second the thing looks pretty snazzy. The body wrapped in a nice aluminum skin. The hue is a bit more blueish than the Macbook Pro aluminum (which tends to be a bit yellow). Still for anyone with an aluminum PC or Mac laptop, this should blend in pretty nicely.The assembly was a bit smaller than I expected -- but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I would say that one minor negative is that this means that the ports are spaced somewhat closely together. So if you have some more than one "fat" USB dongle don't be surprised if you can't fully load up all four ports. For most that won't be a problem, though -- I have three ports full (see pictures) and had no issues.The side that plugs in the computer and pivots is very solid and feels well built. The adapter plugs very solidly into the computer and didn't have any wiggle even when I moved my machine around. That is honestly one of the best things about the adapter.The only minor complaint I would say (aside from the port spacing) is that the peripheral is basically a big lever, so if you just jab a USB plug into it may rock/jiggle the assembly. When this first happened to me it didn't appear that the PC side moved (good), but the rest of the assembly torqued a bit (troubling). The simple solution, though is to either plug in more gingerly or to put a finger on the backside (where the lettering is) to balance the force you exert when you plug in. This can be done particularly easily if you rotate the adapter into its upright configuration.One question some may have is whether this effects file transfer speeds vs a raw port. I'll admit I don't have the full answer, but I would say if it does, the impact is minimal. Overall the speed seemed pretty good on the one USB drive I plugged in. I've been doing a fair number of file transfers today and didn't run into any slowness, although I didn't do any formal benchmarking on the drive performance versus the raw port.If my review is rather enthusiastic it's because I'm legitimately quite pleased with this peripheral, which appears the perfect almost seamless appendage to my port-lacking laptop. For that reason I'm happy to give it five stars and recommend it to other computer owners who are in a similar situation.
