Awesome USB Hub for Raspberry Pi

When I tried this hub, I was impressed by how many USB devices I could use at once. Perfect for computers, the hub provides stable connectivity and has a compact design that fit perfectly into my workspace. The only downside is that it only supports USB 2.0, so I can't take advantage of faster data transfer speeds. Overall, a great product for anyone looking to expand their Raspberry Pi's USB capabilities.

Pros
  • Provides easy access to 4 additional USB 2.0 ports to Raspberry Pi devices.
Cons

The posts and bolts included are not a regular 2.5mm, so I used my own spacers, nuts (which are used as washers) and bolts for assembly. Once installed, it worked fine with low power devices (keyboard, mouse), but didn't provide enough power to the SSD in the USB enclosure. Connecting an external power supply to the USB-C port solved this problem, so the PI4 now has 2 power supplies. A power supply with two USB-C ports reduces the number of connected devices, but still leaves the PI with two…
