5.0 out of 5 starsMaybe don't expect 100% of this product but service is good
Reviewed in Australia on 24 March 2021
Bought this product to replace my very old USB hub. Arrived with the furthest-right switch that won't stay down/clicked so 4th port unusable.
I contacted support and with quick response, got a full refund while the product stays with me.

On initial use, the light would flicker and the connection to my devices would turn off and on but now they haven't done that in a while.
Having a 4th port would've been great but this is still nice with the switches, the price and good customer service.

1.0 out of 5 starsThis is a four port hub, but you will be lucky to use two ports if one is an external drive....
Reviewed in Australia on 1 November 2020
But unless you are connecting low powered devices, you will not be able to use all ports. I bought this product happily, thinking I could connect two external drives, a wired keyboard, and a notebook stand with fans (low powered). When connected, the external drives were not displayed by the system. There was nothing in the product details to suggest this (although I did find an Amazon review later that related the same issue). I contacted the geniuses at Sabrent, who first suggested my devices were too lower-powered and weren't being detected! (A flukish event) after restarting the notebook led me to investigate on my own, and by leaving only one device attached (yes one - why even buy it), I found the single external drive could be detected. Oh, then the same geniuses at Sabrent told me it was because I connected high-powered devices. The upshot - one external drive and maybe (yes maybe ) a wired keyboard - so you work it out; do you really want to waste your money as I did?

3.0 out of 5 stars Right price, needs more info...
Reviewed in Australia on 8 July 2021
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
While it is a good hub for the budget price it would have been useful to have better information about what power supply would go well with it (it has a socket to supplement the power but no specs on it). Turns out it was good that I bought two of these hubs because a 6 volt supply I had left over from an old hub I used to have was too much for these ones. Lasted about 30 seconds with that and two 2.5' external hard drives plugged in before the chip blew but the other hub is working well for less heavy duty applications (as a light load MIDI signal junction). The power buttons on each port are a nice touch but they are fragile as well but at the price that's to be expected. Worked with a 4.5V supply but since a puny 6V 1000mA was too much for it I'm not trusting even that now.

1.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish, as you have to go via a usb adapter to get power, all the power is lost

Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
I plugged my phone and Ipad into it for overnight charging? when I got up in the morning, my phone, which was down to 12% the night before had made it to 13% bloody useless? a similar result with the Ipad? I had it plugged into a power socket via a use adapter, whether this was what stuffed it up I will never know as I threw it straight into the bin?

3.0 out of 5 stars Does ok but glitchy?
Reviewed in Australia on 3 March 2022
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
It's worked well mostly and thought it was a great piece especially with the individual switches, however I have noticed a couple times it's been glitchy where one or two ports arent working and I have to remove everything and put it back and it usually works again

1.0 out of 5 stars Can't use all 4 ports simultaneously
Reviewed in Australia on 20 October 2021
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
Like other reviewers have stated, you can only use 1 or 2 of the ports at a time because of the lack of power that can be supplied through the USB hub. If one of them is a hard drive, the other ports can't really be used at the same time or else they will drop in and out. Good if you have multiple mice/keyboards that you want to choose to use at any time without needing to turn them all on.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did not work. Don't buy.
Reviewed in Australia on 5 September 2020
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
Did not work properly. I could not get all of my hard drives recognized. When it did register my drive, it would then lose connection with it afterwards. I could not copy anything to my attached drives as I kept getting error messages. My drives worked fine when I removed the Sabrient 4-port hub out.

Reviewed in Australia on 15 November 2020
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
There wasn't enough power outage too run led headphone led keyboad and mouse and I had a power problem at first them after a few restarts they powered up This could be a Usb port problem on laptop or low power outage on usb hub but I am happy for now that I could power The usb peripherals connected,For most keyboards headphone lights and Mouses etc it seems to work ok But there is no additional Usb power boost so that could cause a problem with more powerful usb connected devices But for a just above basic Usb 4 port it does its job.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for bluetooth usb receivers. Stopped working after a week.

If you're gonna connect bluetooth adapters to it don't buy this. Comes up with an error saying unrecognised or just doesn't show up at all. It worked fine at the start and after a few days I had to unplug it and replug it to connect. Now a week later it doesnt connect at all. Can still charge devices through it though.

After 2-3 months this device was basically broken.
I tried using different ports but that didnt drag out the life much.
I bought an Anker next, as they always make great stuff.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good at all!!!
Reviewed in Australia on 23 August 2021
Size Name: 4 Port 3.0 + ButtonsVerified Purchase
The ports don’t light up properly at all. I plugged in my phone charger and turned on the port. It started charging but when I tried turning it on and off it stopped working completely. I tried this on all the ports and same problem. Can’t tell if this is just faulty but honestly so frustrating. Yeah it’s not much money but was kinda hoping it would actually work!
