USB 3.0 Hub 4 Port USB Hub for Laptop Multiport Splitter for Computer USB Port Expander for MacBook pro iMac HP,Dell, Asus, PC, Flash Drive, Mobile HDD

My usage is a bit specific, but seems to be exactly what was needed.I'm running an older (read: power-hungry) NVME m.2 in a USB enclosure on my RaspberryPi 4 based home automation controller. The enclosure was having problems sourcing enough stable power causing the system to randomly crash every few weeks.I tried a couple other hubs and just couldn't find one that came with a high enough rated power adapter. Then it occured to me that the Pi UPS has a couple USB power outputs and checking the specs saw 8(!) amps...Enter this hub with it's micro USB power input... Plug the hub into the Pi, short USB-A to micro plug to the UPS... It's been a bit and no system crashes thus far. Still too early to say with certainty... but...

I don't like saving anything to my laptop, so I'm always using flash drives. This gadget really makes my life easier.

The extra ports are great involving extending PC device capabilities. Appears very sleek next to PC on desk and the person using the USB Port Expansion has said the device works well. We like the fact you can charge devices using this. Some of the other port expansion devices will not all charging.

This hub also has one USB micro port on the end

I've had other USB 3 hubs that either just didn't work, or only one plug was USB 3. All 4 work on this hub.

I love the shape and size but it doesn't accomplish what I need it to. It will allow me to charge my phone but it doesn't work for my iPad which is what I really needed it for.

Great if you don't have many USB ports available. Sturdy cable and it has a good weight to it. Overall a great product.

So far, so good. It does the job of expanding the measly one extra that Apple puts on it's new Macbooks.
