SABRENT USB C Hub 5-in-1 Docking Station 10Gbps USB-A USB-C Ports 4K HDMI Output 100W PD Input 80W

If you work with audio you know that using a hub with DACs and audio interfaces can be hit or miss; the SABRENT USB C Hub 5-in-1 Docking Station hit it out of the park. This is an excellent, reliable hub that works with not just one but two digital audio interfaces connected to my 13" M4 MacBook Air which provides it with more than enough power without having to plug it into yet another charger and AC outlet.. For hi-fi listening one USB-C to USB-B cable goes to my Topping E30II DAC, then for mixing Tractor Pro with DVS, another USB-C to USB-B cable goes to my Allen & Heath PX5. This hub is solidly constructed out of aluminum. All the ports fit every cable snugly. One side of the of the hub is blank which allowed me to affix a small rectangle of Velcro to it to mount it to the underside of my DJ mixer laptop stand which keeps my setup looking neat and tidy. The LED around the power button is a pleasing bright blue that actually provides a tiny bit of illumination over my mixer in a pitch black room. The button itself has a tactile feel that feels good. The hub is lightweight but does not feel cheap. I took a chance with Sabrent for the first time 4 years ago with one of their Sabrent M.2 SSDs and it's been fast and reliable since day one so I was confident this hub would work out of the box as well, and it did. Highly recommended, especially for your Mac and your DAW. Read more

This SABRENT hub worked out perfectly for a project that came out of left field that required a number of USB ports. Being able to switch devices on and off as needed was icing on the cake. ● 2 foot (0.6m) cable ● Fast Data Transfer (up to 5Gbps) ● Compatible with Mac and PC ● Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices Note: Not for charging.

I have a few connections that I need to plug into my computer. Rather than buying separate cables to adapt a USB-A device to a USB-C port or a USB-C device to a USB-A port, this is a handy, cost effective way of getting around the problem. Nice budget friendly hub. Works great if all you need is to add some additional USB-A ports to your machine. Most laptops now have very few ports. After you add a wired mouse and camera, you are at a loss if you wanted to plug in an external hard drive. This is a handy way of adding a few ports via a single USB-C port. Read more

This review is for: SABRENT 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Individual LED Power Switches - Slim, Portable Design I wish there was [also] at least one USB-C connection, however the four USB-A connections work great. I have not yet verified the actual advertised "USB 3.0" transfer speed capabilities and real-world results. I am using this for USB keyboard, mouse, and YubiKeys. No issues thus far. I like that you can use the individual switches to turn off/disable any (or all) of the four USB devices. For SABRENT: A nice enhancement to this would be to have the LED colors change when any of the buttons are on or off, so it is easier to visually see which are active or not. the constant blue can be hard to distinguish because the light bleeds to the other buttons even if one is in off position. ~humanly reviewed and written Read more

Bought this usb port in November of 2018! It's only just now started to be a little finicky, and that's on me for letting it hang down so gravity crushed the cord up top a bit. But, setting or taping it onto a flat surface would ensure even more longevity I'd bet. Figured I'd leave a review since I'll likely be buying another one in a few months if this stops working from cord damage. But even then, 7 years is nothing to sneeze at! Highly recommend, it's gotten me through having more ports on two different computers. I can plug in my camera, my drawing tablet, mouse, key board, it all works great! Read more
