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

This model has the advantage of being covered by a US warranty and made by a fairly reputable company. I was surprised at how many non-US models are on sale and therefore not covered by the US warranty. Let the buyer be alert. Before purchasing, check the manufacturer's website to see if it is a US model. I see a surprising number of USB hub failure reports in reviews. I've had 3 USB hubs for 4-6 years and they've never failed so it's possible the quality has gone down since I bought mine. I bought this USB hub for one of my clients and didn't want to risk breaking it. This D-Link looked safer than most. My big complaint is that it requires AC power. It won't even work with a single USB stick without AC power. That's why I only gave four stars. One thing I really like is that the power adapter only occupies one outlet in the surge protector. The image that Revain is currently displaying for this is incorrect. Revain shows it as black and square with two ports on each side, but it's actually silver and rectangular with all four USB ports on one side. Four medium-sized USB drives fit side-by-side, but there's no room for larger ones. For example, I can use four 8GB Sandisk Cruzers, but the 16GB Sandisk is too wide to fit between two 8GB Sandisks. It's small, looks professional, and has enough space between the USB ports to accommodate typical needs.
