🔌 TRENDnet 4-Port USB 3.0 Ultra-Mini Hub with Power Adapter - High-Speed Data Transfer up to 5Gbps, Plug & Play - TU3-H4 Review

This is a USB 3.0 hub. This is a powered hub. This means that a plug-in power supply is available. This means you can connect a USB device that needs to be powered from the USB port.

Now I have a new computer with a pair of these blue USB ports on my new computer, but not all of…

USB 3.0 adoption has been slow compared to previous USB versions. The reason for this is not clear, but one of it could be that many USB use cases other than backup are often satisfactorily handled by USB 2.0. (That's a little annoying for those of us used to putting up with replacing flawless devices with new ones that support the new standard). Price, size, number of connections and external power supply make this device stand out. It's small enough to conveniently carry in your carry-on, and
