Review on πŸ’» CyberPower CPH430PB USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Hub - Streamlined Black Design, 4 Ports for Enhanced Connectivity by David Boulanger

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good hub, not so good charger

Works well as a USB hub but don't expect it to charge/power devices. Even when plugged into an outlet and a USB charging port on my laptop, my phone only "slow charges" when plugged in, and plugging in my PSP results in a message on the PSP screen saying: states that there is not enough power coming out of the connection to charge PSP in general. And this despite the fact that the phone or PSP is the only device connected to the hub, so other peripherals do not draw power. The included suction cup was also practically useless. It doesn't stick to my desk at all, so the device just sits on the desk without a suction cup. And Red Panda isn't kidding about the bright LED. It doesn't tire me, but thought I'd add a photo of what I see when I wake up in the middle of the night so people can see what Red Panda is talking about in their review. Efficiently charging just one device despite being plugged into both my laptop and a wall outlet takes it from a five star rating to a three star rating.

Pros
  • Nice looking
Cons
  • Protection
