USB hub 3.2 gen1, USB adapter, 4 port USB Splitter, Aluminum multiple extension, fast data transfer multiport hubs for desktop PS5, gaming PC, laptop, keyboard, MacBook, etc. (HB-MAC3)

⚡ SABRENT USB 3 Hub – Full Review This hub adds four USB 3.0 ports to any PC, Mac, or laptop, supporting data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps—10× faster than USB 2.0. Each port has its own individual power switch with a blue LED indicator, so you can control devices independently without unplugging. It’s built with a slim, lightweight ABS shell, and includes a 68cm cable, making it ideal for desktop setups, travel rigs, or tight workstations. It’s plug-and-play, hot-swappable, and fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices. ✅ Pros SuperSpeed USB 3.2x1 – up to 5Gbps transfer rate Individual power switches – control each port separately LED indicators – clear power status per port Slim & portable – ideal for travel or tight desk setups Plug-and-play – no drivers needed Wide compatibility – works with flash drives, HDDs, printers, keyboards, and more Affordable – around £9.99 to £23.99 depending on seller ❌ Cons No external power supply – limited to 900mA total draw Not suitable for charging high-draw devices (e.g. iPads) May interfere with 2.4GHz wireless devices if placed too close No USB-C support – strictly USB-A interface 🧠 Personal Verdict This hub’s proper kit for expanding ports, syncing gear, or managing peripherals. I’ve seen it used for flash drives, card readers, and external HDDs, and it holds up—fast, clean, and no faff. The individual switches are a standout for power control, and the build quality punches above its price. For under £25, it’s a smart grab for anyone who wants USB expansion without clutter or complexity.

Does exactly what it should & looks good. The angled face makes it very easy to insert a usb device.

The SABRENT USB 3 Hub (HB-MAC3) is a solid, reliable option for anyone in need of extra USB ports. I've been using it for nearly 4 years, and it still works perfectly. The data transfer speeds are fast, and it’s compatible with a range of devices including my PS5, PC, and MacBook. It’s definitely durable, which speaks to its great value for money. That being said, the hub is a bit bulky, and its design isn’t the most stylish, so it doesn’t blend seamlessly into a sleek desk setup. However, if function and durability are your main priorities, this hub does the job without any fuss. Pros: Fast data transfer with USB 3.2 Durable, still working perfectly after 4 years Compatible with multiple devices (PS5, PC, MacBook) Good value for money Cons: Bulky and not the most stylish on the desk

Honestly, I expected basic product in nice alu case, while in the end I've got so much more. Hub's design is exactly what a premium product should look like: extremely precise cuts and much attention to detail, highest quality materials, sturdy and solid look. This hub will look great even with the most expensive computers. A little shame that Sabrent used micro USB 3.0 in it, while USB-B 3.0 would give the socket a bit more mechanical durability in the long run. Thick and a bit stiff connection cable (stable power & less data interference) will attract the enthusiasts while annoy the casuals. Sockets with 45 degree angle are the perfect choice: plugging and unplugging devices is as effortless as possible. Overall: I picked mine to plug into an older type of LED TV and it works like a charm. More than that, it looks so great that two women around the house are calling it an attractive & handy accessory. For me it's enough to call it the perfect hub for any USB device. The price may be discouraging, but it's as usual with premium products - You're paying for one-of-the-kind, great looking design. Protip: there is a problem with getting an original power adapter by Sabrent so if You plan on plugging power hungry devices (big external hard drives etc.), let me help. You're looking for any 5V adapter with minimum 2,7A current and 3,5 x 1,35mm jack plug. Like this one for example: 5V 3A 3.0A 3000mA AC-DC Switching Adaptor Power Supply Plug 3.5mmx1.3mm 3.5x1.3

really good and went back to buy 2 more. surprised it was able to supply power overall

Good product, but weirdly the made cable was too strong and thick. It made it a pain in the ass to manoeuvre. Great to have extra ports and works with everything, but there are better options out there

needed a usb3 hub, this one looked smart, and indeed it is. It has an interesting LED illumination off the base so you can find it in the dark (I think). Otherwise so far a trouble free unit. Runs a tad warm to the touch, so may not suit travelling as it may eat too much battery for little purpose, but otherwise everything plugged in has been recognised and runs great. The cable is quite heavy, but the unit has enough mass to stop it wandering if the cable droops off your desk. Nicely it uses the same (min sata?) connector as extenal drives so ads an extra function that I wasn't expecting. Makes working from hoe a bit easier as the laptop has too few usb connections.

This is awful. I don't know how old this stock odds but it has those really old fashioned double USB connections that mobile phones had 15 years ago. The reason you don't see them anymore is because they were awful and kept falling out. The connection cable for this is made from really cheap plastic which just cannot be bent into any other shape other than the one that came in, it's really short and it has been awful connector on the end that I mentioned earlier. This is a truly terrible item. You can probably buy something like this on AliExpress for about 60 pence.

Product description was good.

Respecto al envío, rapidísimo, hice la compra con un aviso de semana y media para su recepción, y me llegó al día siguiente. El embalaje, evidencia que es de buena calidad. Viene precintado en plástico, y el interior de la caja está acolchado para proteger al aparato. El multiplicador, es también de buena calidad. No sé por qué, pero en la fotos me pareció más liviano y frágil, pero al cogerlo me da la sensación de que, pese a ser efectivamente liviano, tiene buenas terminaciones. Por último, y en cuanto a su funcionamiento, lo está haciendo bien. Hasta ahora no me ha dado ningún problema. Lo utilizo para pasar información entre el ordenador, dos discos duros extraíbles, un pen drive y una tablet, y cumple perfectamente.

Woks well as USB2 extender on a Raspberry Pi 4 and Homeassistant.

A lovely little USB hub, just what I needed for a small package, where I have only a little space. The materials and connectors are great, had no issues with them. Cable could be a bit thicker. Could recommend it.
