Insignia™ - 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub - Black

I was looking for a USB 3.0 hub, and I saw this one, and an open-box model was available for $19.99. It seemed like a good deal so I decided to buy it. When I received it, I tested it, and it works well; the transfer speed is exactly the same as when the USB drive is connected directly to my computer's USB 3 port. My only gripe is that I cannot use all 4 slots because there is not enough space between each slot. As you can see in the photos, the ability to place 2 USBs side by side ranges anywhere from mildly difficult to freaking impossible, depending on the individual devices in question. However, I can live with that flaw, because I only need the hub very occasionally, and I will probably never need to use all 4 slots. Still, I thought it was worth pointing out in my review, to inform prospective buyers who might buy a 4-slot hub with the intention to use all slots. In summary, this is a fine hub for a good price, as long as you don't expect to use all 4 slots at the same time.

I bought this particular 3.0 USB hub for my laptop, I'm in the process of starting a podcast due to the fact I got laid off because of the COVID-19. I needed this device to plug in my microphone, mouse, HDMI DSLR, and my Logitech webcam. It was a wonderful purchase and it came with its own power adapter, so less of a power strain from your PC.

The port works like a charm and I am probably going to get another one! My only complaint is that it is extremely light-weight, which means it does not sit well and stay flat on its own on the top of my desk - especially when a more heavy-duty USB is plugged in. I have actually used a Command Strip to anchor it to the back edge of my desk where it is out of the way but still reachable by all the cords.

I bought this because I had two 4tb drives on my Xbox One X and wanted to add a third SSD drive. I hooked the two 4tb drives to this and the SSD to the other USB. It has been working as expected. I see no speed change from when each of the 4tb drives were on their own USB and not on the hub. Pretty good job. I would recommend it.

Works as advertised except for two nagging features. The USB cable connecting the hub to the computer is very stiff and because of its light weight is insufficient to keep it in place on the desktop in spite of the four rubber disks on its bottom surface. The movement combined with the very loose fit of that cable's connector into the hub causes it to continuously work itself out and break contact every time I move the lap top. A lash up fix is to attach a rubber band to the cable and wrap it around the hub body as shown in the two attached photos which works until the rubber rots and breaks.

Mounted the plastic case to a piece of wood to form a ridged mount at the top of my workspace. Used many times a day to log in to my workstation and access USB memory sticks. Glued to the front of my work area, it is convenient, out of the way, easy to use one handed. Ohh, and it is fine as a USB-3 hub also...

as you see in my photo ,, i have 3 in use ,, you just have to find it ,,, the 3.0 transfers data faster than the 2.0 hubs .. and they all work ..and if i remember correctly ,, i got two 4ports becuase it was cheeper than buy just One 7port hub ..

Was looking for something cheaper, but this does the job. Unfortunately, I had to buy an extension cable for both power and USB for the way I need it to sit on my desk. So far it works great, but I'm really only using it to charge my wireless earbuds at the moment. Hoping to utilize it more in the future.
