This killed my port after 2 years and 4 months

I think it killed my port. Suddenly this hub stopped working so I figured it was just a Sabrent hub. nope The port is dead. I tried to connect USB directly to the port, nothing is read. Bought in September 2015 and my port - the only port it was connected to - is dead. I put two stars in case it's a coincidence but I doubt it. It also doesn't have an SD/microSD card reader, which my new one will have. Also, this will only go into the first hub. It doesn't fit others because the bottom partโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Highly recommended product

I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has an iMac, I struggle with all my cables all the time and having to reach back is a waste of time, this device takes everything out of the equation , y I still have 2 ports on the back and all 4 on the front. It's so awesome I'd love to see this company also make one as good for the SD card slot which is another port I'm infatuated with if you do I can say with confidence you please take my money because I will gladly buy it, keep up theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • No automatic

NOT for 27 " Thunderbolt Display!

Please note that this product is for slime body presentation. It will not fit a 27" Thunderbolt Display. It will not snap and you have to Hold the device to connect something to it, or slide it out of the USB port from the back. It's not designed to be accessed from the front of the display, where the rubber clips keep it in place (on a 27" Thunderbolt I gave it a 3 for not making that clear enough in its ad for less experienced Mac owners.I didn't realize there was a difference until Iโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent Design
Cons
  • Not Bad

The perfect solution - a great addition to my iMac.

Fits my 27" iMac perfectly. It looks great and is solidly built. Looks and works EXACTLY as advertised. , I have used it to take pictures from 2 cameras (Canon T5i and Canon SX700 ) download, upload and download to my Andriod Galaxy phone and read and write on an external USB 3.0 CD/DVD reader/writer. I plan to install on a 27" iMac (I have one) I know this may be difficult for some of you, but be sure to read the instructions. All iMacs have 4 USB ports on the back. Sabrent's instructionsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Ratio Set

It's hard to say that the accessories make the device better than it was originally intended; In this case, however, this does not negatively affect the overall aesthetics of the iMAC 27 inch 5k. It works well. This means that 4 additional USB 3.0 ports are available. Basically, it's an extension that doesn't let you blindly reach for and plug in a device or USB drive. It's not cheap plastic. It feels solid and uses holes under the display for an exhaust fan (4 total) to keep it from movingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • expensive

Fantastic design! compatible with networking products

Sabrent has come up with a beautiful design that integrates so well with the 27-inch iMac by moving a USB 3.0 port to the front of the computer and adding three more ports. Next! The 27-inch iMac is a beautiful work of art with no ports visible from the front, but accessing one port only from the back is a real hassle, especially when working with USB and SD. Since I also have a USB 3.0 multi-card reader, I almost never have to check for port usage again. I couldn't be happier if they didn'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Worries Me

looks great! Fixes an issue with USB placement on .

Quality design, quality finish, looks great! Fixes a USB placement issue on my 21" iMac. However, like many external passive USB terminals, it is limited by DC capacity and does not work for my external Mac CD/DVD player or Passport in my case -Backup even when connected to a higher bandwidth port on my computer. It would be nice if it was also offered with an active power supply as an option.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Very expensive

it works but once you connect what you need don't touch it at all. I plugged in a portable hard drive and every time I plugged in another USB stick or even touched/hit the device it "ejected" but wrongly and once it was during a backup so data was lost / were damaged. Now I only use this to charge/sync my iPhone and iPad and still have to be careful not to touch/hit it during syncing, but that's exactly what it works for. Bottom line, it works, but don't trust it too seriously if you plan onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • like everything so far
Cons
  • crumpled packaging
