Review on πŸ”Œ Sabrent Premium 4 Port Aluminum Mini USB 2.0 Hub [90Β°/180Β° Rotating Design] (HB-UMMC) by Jevon Sterling

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Poor quality rotating head.

**UPDATE** I took the unit apart to see what was going on. The rotation assembly had a small plate that holds the USB head and helps it rotate. Due to the design, there is not enough free space for the two outer wires. Not if, but IF you hit it, the bend causes the little rotating plate to sever one or both of the outer wires. Judging by my photos and other photos in the reviews, the first thing to disconnect is the power cord. Inadequate design without sufficient real-world testing before launch. Will never last When it first came out, I really liked it. Little did I know it swivels 90 degrees to fit whatever laptop/computer port it is plugged into. I also thought that this would be a weak point for him. It only lasted a few weeks but with very minimal use, just an hour or two every few days. Most of it was in the computers that sat on the desk while they worked on it. Tonight I took the laptop into the bedroom to work and placed it on the laptop stand. I reached over to the bed and pushed it, raising my hand back to the computer. He does not work any more. I was very disappointed because it was the FIRST time I met him, not the 3rd, 6th, 15th time. when I first met it, it broke. Very disappointed. I will not send it back. Since I've been messing around with electronics a lot, I'll probably rip it apart and redo the rotation feature. Too bad I didn't get my money's worth with it.
