Durable and inexpensive
I originally bought this back in 2020 because my laptop only had one USB port, and I wanted the ability to charge my phone from USB as well as plug in flashdrives. This USB hub is perfect for this application. It lasted 4 years before it lost the ability to charge, but it can still transfer data. I ordered a second one because it's reliable and does exactly what I need it to do.

Versatile but a little snug on the ports...
Almost gets five stars, needed to add a remote usb port for reading memory sticks and SD cards after installing a new desk where the computer is less accessible underneath. Cord length is much better than others for reaching the back of the computer and the various ports on it make it very useful for different removable media. Mounted the reader under the front edge of the desk with my own Velcro so it can be relocated easily and the location allows access to all ports.Only complaint is the ports seem stiff, the USB or SD card has to be pushed a little harder to insert and requires more effort than usual to remove. The housing is thin so you have to hang on to the reader gently to insert or remove items.Still feel it is worth it to have easy access to the different slots for memory and a cord length that makes it good for a remote location.Small size makes it useful, not a real estate hog and allows for discrete mounting under or on any surface.

Didn't last
Update: Purchased on 7/3 and today is 9/17. The hub no longer works for much of anything I've tried on it. USB game pad, Logitech mouse USB dongle, keyboard, my UPS monitoring cable. The only device that has been working reliably with this is an old Western Digital external hard drive that has it's own power source. I suspect the issue is that this hub is not passing though any power to run the devices being connected. If the device has it's own separate power source, then it might work. I say "might" because my UPS has it's own power source (that's the whole point of the device) and that still didn't work. I don't know if I just got a bad one or what, but it did not last very long at all. Less than 3 months of use here. I no longer recommend this product. My original comments below for my initial thoughts when I first started using it.This model is good for what it is but don’t expect too much. This one doesn’t take power from an external supply, so beware that it may not supply enough juice from the computer’s USB port alone to power all the devices plugged into this extension. On mine, I have two external hard drives plugged in and they work normally, but there isn’t enough power left to also have my Xbox 360 gamepad plugged in at the same time. If you’re not trying to run multiple hard drives or other power hungry devices at the same time, you might be okay. Looks like I’m going to need a different model that has an input power connection.
