Review on Sabrent 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub - Adjustable 90°/180° Degree Rotatable Design (HB-UMN4) by Joseph Neal

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Fur. It works. Most of time.

*sigh* I really like this product, mostly because it's one of the few USB hubs with such a closed design (meaning you can walk around with it when you plug it into your laptop without dangling it Cable). It s cheap. It does a good job of giving you extra USB ports if you find yourself in a situation where you need to use multiple USB drives and your laptop only has two ports. The silver one looks great when attached to a MacBook. But I really wish there was some competition that would make them make it a little better. I know there's only so much I can expect at this price point, but it's flimsy, and the problems with it are: The connectors are a bit such that my laptop thinks I've forcibly ejected any drives attached to the hub. isn't cool This is especially bad if you are doing delicate work on files that could get corrupted. I think it has to do with his ability to turn. 2) A nitpicky issue: the rotation mechanism eventually loses its stickiness (on one of the ones I have it kinda wobbles around now instead of clicking nicely. 0°/90°/180°/270° as it should, and stop).
