🖥️ StarTech.com ST4202USB: Compact 4 Port Black USB 2.0 Hub for Mac/PC laptops - Bus-powered or with Power Adapter - Portable Hub Review

I've used it sporadically for a few months and it seems fine, but the connectors aren't spaced far enough for regular 3/4" wide flash drives to fit side by side. If some of your flash drives are ½". are wide you can nest them, but sometimes all the files you want to work with are on ¾ inch wide flash drives.

UPDATE: I'm now convinced that the problems I described were caused by the USB DAC itself. I switched from the obviously old ODAC to Topping D10 and no longer had the problem described. Change the rating to 5 and leave the original post verbatim below ------------------------ -------- In my experience, StarTech makes the difference reliable stuff.

I transferred Hi8 footage from the camera itself (the video in the camcorder's viewfinder was fine) to two different TVs (one HD, the other 4K HD).

This really is a lifesaver. I have quite a large setup in my home office - a computer, two monitors, two external hard drives, speakers, a printer, etc. I eventually ran out of USB ports on my computer. This hub worked right out of the box. There are no drivers. Truly plug and play. I plugged it into a USB port on my computer (windows 10), waited about 5 seconds and all devices worked.
