Sabrent 7-Port USB 3.0 Hub Review

This USB hub has 7 ports and the external power is optional, making it a great choice for both home and on-the-go usage. Plugging in the power adapter can turn it into a more powerful hub for charging or power-hungry devices, and if power isn't a requirement, you can just leave it to be powered by the connected computer.

This USB hub is capable of drawing power from the upstream device (i.e. the connected computer), which is mostly sufficient for charging phones and small devices. It also provides an external 12V / 4A Power Adapter for when you need more power than your computer’s USB port can provide.

All seven ports on this USB hub can function as either data ports or charging ports.

This USB hub is practical for both home/desktop and on-the-go usage — the design is compact enough for bringing this around with you, and it is also sturdy enough for desktop usage.

The ports on this USB hub can be individually switched on or off — this makes it suitable for leaving devices connected to it. You can switch it on when you need to use it, and off when you don’t (e.g. leaving a phone charging cable plugged in and switching the port on only when you need to use it).
