🖥️ Sabrent Premium USB 3.0 Hub with Card Reader (12" Cable) for iMac, MacBooks, Mac Mini, PC - HB-MACR Review

I have bought this hub before, USB only. I used it for a USB 3.0 extension on a legacy Mac Pro (I installed a PCIx card first to give it 3.0 speed). With only two ports on the back of the unit, I needed a useful extension somewhere. I also had an external hard drive enclosure that I used as a card reader. I swear I was looking for an all in one solution but found it at Revain a few weeks later. I had to get it. It sits well on my desk. Not too heavy so easy to knock over, but sturdy enough…

I have had many different Sabrent devices (USB audio adapters, hard drive adapters, cables, etc.) in the past and all have served me well. For that reason I expected it to be a home game. not as much. The micro SD reader seems to work as it should (which is the main reason I got it) but the SD reader is very picky. Sometimes it reads it right away, and sometimes it shows that the disk is "properly protected". At this point I have to unplug the USB and plug it back in, which usually solves the…

Suitable for laptop office desk layout. The presence of an SD card and micro SD card slot was the only reason I bought this for my desktop PC. Advantages: 1. Multiple card readers.2. 3 USB 3.0.3 ports. Works very well with Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Cons: 1. The cable is short, it cannot be disconnected/replaced without an extension cable (USB 3.0 male-female extension cable). This should be fine if you only want to use it with a Macbook or other laptop, but things can get a bit tricky if…

I bought it because it went well with my desk to load my camera's CF card into my computer. For this purpose it works very well. The one star deduction is for the ultra-short cable that sits in the far corner of my desk near the back of my mid-tower PC, barely reaching it. The next reason is the always on LED light, it's so bright and aimed at my white desk that the light hits my eyes even though it's behind and under a fairly bright monitor. What is this white LED for? So I can tuck it on the…

I just received this unit and after a long wait part of the card reader is completely broken. The USB ports work fine, but the CF, SD, and MicroSD ports are not readable at all. As a professional photographer and MAC owner, this device has a lot of potential since the MAC only has 2 USB ports. Having a hub and card reader in one device can be invaluable. I have already contacted tech support and sent them the information they requested, a replacement should be coming soon. Once it is delivered…

I had high hopes for this product. I often need a card reader and a portable USB hub. However, reading the CF card does not work. Tried it with 3 different cards. The SD card reader is fine. I don't have a Mirco SD card, so I can't comment on that. I am returning this product to Revain. <<<<< Update >>>>>> Sabrent contacted me after seeing my review. We tried to solve the problem, I tried flipping the card etc. but to no avail. They were kind enough to provide…
