SABRENT 3 Port USB 3.2 Gen 1 Hub with SD/Micro SD card reader and CF cards

Replaces a previously purchased device with similar functionality other than its card reader section never worked and was also very poorly made and falling apart. This Sabrent Premium Aluminium USB-3.0 hub has a, almost hidden light bar that shows that is ready to be used. It offers 3 USB 3.0 ports and card slots for TF (micro-SD), SD and CF cards, a combination that is typical of its product type. The base is rubber-covered and is sufficiently non-slip for it to mostly remain where placed despite its relatively low weight - it is actually much heavier than its predecessor which has now been binned. It feels well-made and is solid. The USB ports are fully functional as its its card reader ports (the CF port was not tested as they are not used in any currently used devices - typically older camera models) and a small internal LED illuminates to show that it is 'Live'. It is usually necessary to hold the hub when removing a connected device and that especially applies to micro-SD cards which barely project from the hub's body; it does not have the weight to avoid doing so. The brand is known via prior peripheral purchases which have all performed well and this was chosen in preference to less expensive equivalents that bear one of several anonymous brand-names and where build quality standards and reliability are unknown. Pricing was slightly above average but only by £1 or so.

I love having an Apple desktop computer it's stylish, fast and user-friendly, however having the USB and card read ports on the rear of the screen is a tad annoying. I understand why they do it, I just wish they had at least one of each on the front of the device to make swapping out memory cards that bit easier. That's why I purchased this USB / memory card hub. The Hub itself is constructed from Apple style friendly aluminium and grey metal coloured plastic with white plastic highlights. It has 3 USB ports, a compact flash. standard SD and a micro SD card reading slot. The transfer speeds from these ports is just as good as it would be from plugging straight into your Mac, and the connection is stable and strong. Thanks to its Mac friendly styling it doesn't scream out that it is there when you place it on the foot plate of your Mac, my only fault with this product is the fact that the cable is attached at the side of the hub, which for a neat freak like me is a bit annoying, it would be so much better if the cable was attached to the rear of the device, however having said that this is still a fabulous hub that works perfectly​

this card reader looks nice and can read all the cards i needed it to. works fine no problems, also being a usb hub is helpful. however there are some nuances that are appearing after a few months of use: the cable could have been longer for convenience the card slots require putting in the card exactly to read the card properly, otherwise the card could be put in at an angle and risk damaging the card and or reader, particularly annoying with the microSD card, the card being that small is tricky enough as it is think next time i will stick with a traditional, cuboidal card reader rather than one of a fancy shape

Brilliant USB hub/sd card reader. My PC setup has my PC positioned slightly off to the side, with the front actually pointing away from me. This makes my front IO not very useful as I can't really get to it without moving. Ontop of this, I also 3D print so regularly needed to plug an SD card into my computer which was a pain with the little adaptor I had. This made me decide to get this hub. The hub has made my PC setup feel so much more complete and put together. I have this under my monitor so I now have access to USB ports and The SD card reader right there on my desk. Although it's only a small thing it really does make using the PC so much better/easier. The bottom of this is also magnetic which is a nice touch. This means if you've got something like desk with a metal frame you can even attach it to that. Alternatively, it also came with a magnetic sticky back strip so you can stick that anywhere and attach the hub to it that way (this is what I'm using). It's not the strongest magnet ever, but it's certainly good enough and makes the hub less likely to move around. My only complaint would be the cable length. The wire on this is only 45cm long. It's not enough of an issue for me to knock a star off, especially as some people will want this if using it with something like a laptop. But for my use case this did mean I did also need to get a USB extention cable to make it reach my PC. So just be aware of this for your setup. Overall though very happy with this hub.

A little more expensive than other units but worth the extra. Solidly made and sensibly designed. The sloping front makes it easy to access the connectors and they provide very secure connection for memory cards and USB devices. Highly recommended.

This little thing is AWESOME :) Not only does it look cool, but its made very well and is VERY fast. I just tested the crap out of it and pushed it beyond what they say it can do. I tested with , CF card, usb stick, usb powered ext drive and Powered Ext Drive. all worked well, lightening fast, and each drive popped up wiht its own icon, i actually dumped 10 gig files from 3 at the same time and then uploaded them to all 3 at the same time. Worked like a charm. Only thing is the powered Ext. HD took about a minute to show up on my desktop ( remember they say this is not for that kind of connection, but it worked, just so you know). All in all , very happy with the construction and material of the product plus the speed. A+++

All good

mooi afgewerkt en ook esthetisch. Veel mogelijkheden, zelfs voor Compact Flash wat tegenwoordig moeilijker te vinden is. Functioneert bovendien prima.

cet appareil chauffe d'où 4 étoiles mais fonctionne parfaitement.

Ottimo lettore di schede, fa il suo dovere ed è esteticamente bello. Materiali di qualità che danno un senso di solidità. Ottimo prezzo.
