SABRENT USB Hub, 4 Port Desk USB Docking Station, Fast Data Transfer Aluminium Multiport Hubs for PS5, PC, Laptop, iMac, MacBook, (HB-MC3B)

Honestly, I expected basic product in nice alu case, while in the end I've got so much more. Hub's design is exactly what a premium product should look like: extremely precise cuts and much attention to detail, highest quality materials, sturdy and solid look. This hub will look great even with the most expensive computers. A little shame that Sabrent used micro USB 3.0 in it, while USB-B 3.0 would give the socket a bit more mechanical durability in the long run. Thick and a bit stiff connection cable (stable power & less data interference) will attract the enthusiasts while annoy the casuals. Sockets with 45 degree angle are the perfect choice: plugging and unplugging devices is as effortless as possible. Overall: I picked mine to plug into an older type of LED TV and it works like a charm. More than that, it looks so great that two women around the house are calling it an attractive & handy accessory. For me it's enough to call it the perfect hub for any USB device. The price may be discouraging, but it's as usual with premium products - You're paying for one-of-the-kind, great looking design. Protip: there is a problem with getting an original power adapter by Sabrent so if You plan on plugging power hungry devices (big external hard drives etc.), let me help. You're looking for any 5V adapter with minimum 2,7A current and 3,5 x 1,35mm jack plug. Like this one for example: 5V 3A 3.0A 3000mA AC-DC Switching Adaptor Power Supply Plug 3.5mmx1.3mm 3.5x1.3

⚡ SABRENT USB 3 Hub – Full Review This hub adds four USB 3.0 ports to any PC, Mac, or laptop, supporting data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps—10× faster than USB 2.0. Each port has its own individual power switch with a blue LED indicator, so you can control devices independently without unplugging. It’s built with a slim, lightweight ABS shell, and includes a 68cm cable, making it ideal for desktop setups, travel rigs, or tight workstations. It’s plug-and-play, hot-swappable, and fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. ✅ Pros SuperSpeed USB 3.2x1 – up to 5Gbps transfer rate Individual power switches – control each port separately LED indicators – clear power status per port Slim & portable – ideal for travel or tight desk setups Plug-and-play – no drivers needed Wide compatibility – works with flash drives, HDDs, printers, keyboards, and more Affordable – around £9.99 to £23.99 depending on seller ❌ Cons No external power supply – limited to 900mA total draw Not suitable for charging high-draw devices (e.g. iPads) May interfere with 2.4GHz wireless devices if placed too close No USB-C support – strictly USB-A interface 🧠 Personal Verdict This hub’s proper kit for expanding ports, syncing gear, or managing peripherals. I’ve seen it used for flash drives, card readers, and external HDDs, and it holds up—fast, clean, and no faff. The individual switches are a standout for power control, and the build quality punches above its price. For under £25, it’s a smart grab for anyone who wants USB expansion without clutter or complexity.

It works well and a boon for my grandson playing on his PS5

Very useful product if you lack front usb ports on your computer. I purchased this item to allow me to plug in items to my computer on my desk as opposed to fiddling behind the PC. Allows for 4 additional USB 3.0 connections which can be useful. Plug the connection into an existing usb 3.0 connection on your PC to utilize the extra speed gained by 3.0 9/10 worth the price, product feels steardy, only small thing is the cable itself is a bit small but that's just me

This is very well made with a good quality cable. Ideal for me as my desktop PC has two USB slots on the side of the case and several others on the back which are a nuisance to reach . This allows me to keep it on the top of the case and easilly plug in cameras , memory sticks etc as needed without having to fiddle around with the ones on the back.

solid bit of kits, nice weight to the item will not move around your desktop too much. Good length of cable I would have liked more but by far one of the longer leaded USB ports I was able to find. price was far for this well-made item.

Perfect - even better with the power supply you can buy on ebay - why Amazon don't offer these easily is beyond me :-)

This is a very good looking 4-port USB hub, which has easy access to the ports and for some reason a white light on the front which is supposed to let you know it has electricity (for whatever reason). What did I like? - Aesthetically pleasing - Sturdy - Easy access to slots What did I dislike? - Price - Can't turn off the light

Respecto al envío, rapidísimo, hice la compra con un aviso de semana y media para su recepción, y me llegó al día siguiente. El embalaje, evidencia que es de buena calidad. Viene precintado en plástico, y el interior de la caja está acolchado para proteger al aparato. El multiplicador, es también de buena calidad. No sé por qué, pero en la fotos me pareció más liviano y frágil, pero al cogerlo me da la sensación de que, pese a ser efectivamente liviano, tiene buenas terminaciones. Por último, y en cuanto a su funcionamiento, lo está haciendo bien. Hasta ahora no me ha dado ningún problema. Lo utilizo para pasar información entre el ordenador, dos discos duros extraíbles, un pen drive y una tablet, y cumple perfectamente.

Cet hub fonctionne parfaitement et correspond à mes attentes 👌🏻

USB hubs are too expensive but this one is close to reasonably priced and it's nice for what it is. The aluminum housing adds some needed weight to keep the thing from sliding all around. It also probably helps with thermals, as sometimes USB devices you plug into hubs will produce excess heat. I can't really review the actual USB 3.0 performance of this thing because my hardware isn't really up to it. I have a computer that was manufactured around the time when USB 3 was first starting to show up and the fastest USB 3 device I have is a Sandisk 64 gig flash drive. I did a test and transferred about 40 gigs of movies to that drive plugged into this hub and I got about 34 MB/s. Not really that fast but still way faster than the crappy USB 2 hub it replaced. Not a big deal for me. I bought this as a modest upgrade for a very old and junky USB 2 hub. And I bought it because I need a USB hub that works. If I can plug a USB device into it and it works, that's worth 15 bucks. I guess this is kinda silly to mention in a review but the packaging on this product is well done. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of cardboard but if it is, it's some kind of super cardboard because it has some real weight to it and if you knock on it, it almost sounds like some kind of wood....as odd as that sounds. Not a big deal but I guess it inspires some kind of confidence in a company that bothers to make nice packaging in 2016. I'll probably actually keep that box to store things in. EDIT - I have found that I have 2 Lexar USB 3.0 drives that do not work with this hub. No idea why. They are the ones with the plastic connectors so maybe that has something to do with it. All my other flash drives work with this. EDIT #2 (08/01/2016) - OK. Now I have found that my Sandisk USB 3.0 flash drive also isn't being recognized by this. Which is weird because I think it initially was when I first got it. So I don't know what that's about. Now this thing only seems to want to recognize the USB 2.0 devices I have. Which defeats the purpose of specifically buying a USB 3.0 hub. I don't think I can recommend this at this point. The connectors are still very stiff too (despite some use).

Fast delivery, sleek looking and works well. Juz chose correctly the type of USB u need

This is the best useful tool for a gaming PC as I use a Oculus Rift , Joystick , Yoke, Pedals. Yet my, ASUS PRIME X570-PRO only contains a few 3.0 ports that are usable. This was my best solution because it also helped me with my read and write speeds for USB 3.0 Sandisk 128gb drive. I was getting only 500kbps write and 30mbps read, Now I am receiving 100mb write and 150mb read. I bought this as due to my onboard usb port header is not fully compatable with the SS speed even for my usb-c area beside my power button on the corsair case. Sorry for rambling on but this is the best product but if you need it on a desk like i did you might want to get a usb female to male extension cable as it was not long enough.
