A simple and well-made USB 3.0 hub with a handy SD card slot.

I use this hub on my Apple Mac Mini for easier access to the SD card port than the back of the Mini. In addition to the three additional USB 3.0 ports, I now have easy access to the SD card port on the front. Simple and well done.

Pros
  • Annual Trial
Cons
  • Dull Hardware

As simple as it can be

Currently working great. As simple as it is, plug and play. I imagine this would be great for a laptop if you're on the go for a bit.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • unreliable

This item worked fine EXCEPT it didn't work with a USB mouse.

This item worked fine EXCEPT it didn't work with a USB mouse on the Surface 3. I returned it because that was the main reason I needed the hub. It's a nice device and if you don't need a USB mouse I would give it 5 stars.

Pros
  • Highest support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • This is driving me insane

Failed first time. The company contacted me after reading my review, sent a new one and solved the problem!

*Update* After I wrote the following post, Cable Matters contacted me to solve my problem and sent me a new unit. I am very satisfied with their service and my new center. It works very well. The USB ports work fine, but the SD card reader keeps rebooting while the memory card is inserted. I tried several memory cards and had the same problem. I ended up replacing the product with another one and encountering the same problem. Now I use the device exclusively as a USB hub and it works fine with

I really like this hub

I really like this hub. I bought it for my new Mac Mini. Unfortunately, the Mac Mini is a great machine, but all ports are on the back of the computer. Where I have it, trying to reach and connect a USB device or SD card is impractical. So that takes care of this problem. Why 4 instead of 5 stars? Well, the cable is short. I had to buy a USB extension cable to get to the front of my desk where I want it. Other than that minor issue, this is a good fix.

Pros
  • Great selection
