Review on πŸ’» ORICO 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Power Supply Port - Black (Ultra-Slim, Laptop/iMac/Surface Pro/XPS Compatible) by Jason Vigen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Compatibility is better than other hubs, but still compatible with external SSD hard drives.

I bought this HUB to replace another manufacturer's HUB as it is incompatible with many USB 3.0 devices. When I tested this hub, I was happy because it could recognize and work with USB drives that the previous hub couldn't handle. But when I tested an external SSD hard drive, the drive disconnected and reconnected on its own. No stable connection to the SSD enclosure. This was a big disappointment. I even tried providing external 5V in case the SSD draws more amps than the HUB can handle itself without an external power supply. I've got the same result with constantly disconnecting/reconnecting, even with external power. So that goes back to ORICO.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
