Review on πŸ”Œ Sabrent 4 Port USB 2.0 Hub: Enhanced with Individual Power Switches and LED Indicators for Ultimate Convenience by Todd Mohr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great design but poor durability. Such a shame.

I needed a simple USB hub with switches so I could turn off my devices on my laptop, which has a hard-coded power saving mode, and charge USB ports without a BIOS option to turn it off. This product turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. Inexpensive with a great design that worked great initially. At the time of review, they have slightly changed the aesthetics of the hub design from the picture. The new design has LEDs under the clear plastic windows, and the previously printed logo is now a clear emblem on the back (opposite the ports) of the hub, behind which is a glowing LED that you can't turn off when you unplug it . It worked great out of the box and at first I couldn't be happier. This was until it completely stopped transferring data and was accidentally recognized by my computer even before 2 weeks had passed. However, it still powers devices. All in all I'll refund this and look elsewhere as for the price I don't think these hubs were built to last.
