Powered USB Hub [Durable Aluminum] USB Hub 3.0 Powered, Individual Switch Buttons Smart Charging USB Port Expander Fit for External Hard Drive Electronics Gaming Laptop Desktop PC

The design is very impressive. I could link multiple devices together, also work as a fast charger or USB power supply with individual switches. Also it is very compact, good for fit in my laptop bag.

There are tons of different USB hubs out there but this one is special. The switch for each individual port is a great feature. It allows me to keep my USB powered scanner hooked up to my computer all the time but only turn it on and off when I need it. I really enjoy the powered port as well to charge my phone when i am working at the computer or even just relaxing and playing some games. The product feels well made and setup was very simple. Plug everything in and you are ready to use it. Worked on my Mac and PC without issue.

Just what I was looking for! I can plug in all of my usb devices in one place now. Space saver!

Product was bought 6/5/23 and, so far, appears well-made and is performing well. The 1-star rating is due to a non-existent free lifetime warranty. To activate, you are directed to scan a QR code which takes you to an Instagram website where you must log in. First major hurdle is for those people (like myself) who dont have an Instagram account! OK, so now I create an Instagram account and try it again. That takes me to the Niaochao area where Im offered the opportunity to sign up for a music/video website. What Im NOT offered, anywhere, is the ability to activate my free lifetime warranty:. Well, heres hoping I never need it.

This USB hub does what its supposed to do. Im able to plug up to 4 other USB cords into it and turn them on individually. It doesnt charge fast as this isnt promoted as a charger so dont expect fast charging speeds. It does charge though.

Simple and convenient, I like that each USB plug has a corresponding independent switch.

Its a great device..I have a cleaner table to look at now ..because of multiple ports on this i dont have to run the long wires. Its a good purchase.

I recently purchased the Niao-Chao compact USB hub for my home office and I have to say, Im impressed. The compact design of this hub is a game-changer for me. It easily fits on my cluttered desk without taking up too much space, and its small enough to fit in my bag for when I need to take it on the go. One of the main reasons I chose this hub was its four USB 3.0 ports. The high-speed data transfer allows me to transfer large files in no time, which is a huge plus for me. The added bonus of the charging USB port is also great, it saves me the hassle of having to unplug my phone or tablet in order to charge it. In the images you can see that I copied over a 2 GB file from my local hd to the usb 3.0 flash drive. The file took about 6 min to transfer over. Pros: - Compact design, easily portable - Four USB 3.0 ports for high-speed data transfer - One charging USB port for charging devices - Easy to use, no software to install - Compatible with a wide range of devices Cons: - Only one charging USB port - Lack of an on/off switch - May slow down charging process if multiple devices need to be charged simultaneously. Overall, Im very happy with my purchase of the Niao-Chao compact USB hub. The compact design and high-speed data transfer make it perfect for my needs, and the added bonus of the charging USB port is a great feature. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compact and versatile hub. Just keep in mind the downsides mentioned above and it will be a great purchase.

After becoming a Mom, I look for anything that will make my life easier, and this hub, makes that happen.

These days its always handy to have a few extra USB ports, and this handily adds four of them to my laptop. Individual switches let you activate only the ports that you need, which may be a power-saving feature if youre running on batteries, although I dont really use it. The fifth port is a charging port, only -- e.g. for your cell phone. Not sure why they didnt just make it another full USB port, since you can charge from any of the ports, but . . . there it is. Seems well-made, does what its supposed to do, and hasnt given me any trouble.
