About this item
When working on the computer, there often aren’t enough ports to connect everything you need. Don’t let the number of available USB ports limit the amount of work you can get done. The Insignia - 4-Port USB 3.0 Powered Hub lets you connect up to four USB devices with the use of a single USB port. An LED indicator light lets you know when the hub has been plugged in and is ready for your keyboard, mouse, or other USB accessories. A 5 V, 900 mA port output delivers quick and consistent power, while a data transfer speed of up to 5 Gbps performs quickly so you can get more done. Put an end to the struggle by adding four extra USB ports to your computer with this hub.

- A: AnswerThe "Features" list for this item says it can provide up to 900ma per port at the standard USB 5 volts. In terms of using it as a charging station, it also says "offers consistent power OR CHARGE for your connected USB devices". So theoretically as long as you only use it to charge devices that can auto-charge while drawing no more than 900ma (0.9 amps) or less of 5 volt USB power per port, you would be within that that spec. That equates to around 4.5 Watts. But as with many tech questions, the answer is "it depends". Most reasonably modern phones, for example, want more current than that; particularly when fast charging which requires FAR more current. My years' old Galaxy S20+ specs say it can draw 15 watts when fast charging at standard USB 5V. More modern devices may use USB-C chargers that can also auto-change the charging voltage to provide up to 20V per port to achieve those far higher / faster charge rates. Even for user devices that also automatically provide a 5V "fallback" mode to charge slowly when they detect 5V and limited available wattage, I'd want a purpose-built phone / tablet charging station that can provide that type of amperage. I bought this hub purely to connect multiple small, low-current USB devices for usage only to a laptop such as an wired ethernet to USB connector, an SDCard reader, a USB hard drive holding an SSD, etc.

- A: AnswerI would think it would. I use it on older iMacs and it works great. My iMacs are from 2012, and it works fine on them. They are before Windows 7 came out I believe. So they are older than Windows 7, maybe. I can't remember for sure. This powered port actually works great on my older iMacs. I am probably going to buy another one.
