Review on πŸ’» StarTech.com 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Dedicated Charging Port - Fast Charging Station and Desktop USB Hub (ST53004U1C) by Darin Grosz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It works but could use some improvements. Short power cord, doesn't like working without a power cord.

advantages: food. Automatic detection in Windows 10 and downloaded driver. I have a pair that are a little wider than normal and it can be difficult to tie them side by side. Useful if your computer lacks USB hubs. Cons: It won't charge when a computer is plugged into it. switched off. It's really annoying. Doesn't work with my scanner. The power cord is short and has a HUGE wall wart. The Samsung tablet complained about the charging port, saying it was slow. the computer with the adapter drive and it didn't see the drive the whole time, it kept dropping it (that annoying unplug/plug sound) and then picking it up and then dropping it again. Connecting is no problem. I wouldn't take a star for that, but it's supposed to work without a power cord, which isn't stable.

Pros
  • Beautiful packaging
Cons
  • thin
