Review on Dub-H4: D-Link 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub with Fast Charging Ports - Mini USB, 5V/2.5A Adapter by Wayne Girard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Love the size and design of this hub

I bought this USB hub to use with my Raspberry Pi 2. First off, I love the size and design of this hub. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work as I had hoped. I planned to use the charging port to power the Pi, and then connect the hub's data input port to one of the Pi's open USB ports in a "tail-eating snake" configuration. Unfortunately, when the Pi is connected in this way, it enters a cycle of continuous reboots. You can avoid this problem by plugging the Pi into one of the hub's other ports, but with less power available to the Pi. It seems to work great in this configuration and if it works the way I expected it to, I'd give it 5 stars.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • A little wrinkled
