[General Accessories] Mon431:
This is the perfect hub for those that just need a couple more ports.

When you open the compact packaging, you’ll find a "Happy; Not Happy" card, an instruction manual, and the hub itself wrapped in a white plastic.

First Impressions: Wow, this is really small and compact! You don't even need to plug it into the wall like other hubs. You simply plug it into your laptop or computer, and you’re ready to go! The first time I plugged it in, a “Generic Hub” driver was automatically installed. One thing The USB ports have been positioned perfectly! They can allow you to plug in those fat, round flash drives right next to the normal, skinny flash drives. The hub has four small grips at the bottom. The white and black colors along with the silver Anker logo compliment the hub very well! The whole is smooth and glossy. The built-in wire feels like it can withstand almost anything! It is very lightweight too.

When you plug it in, the green power light turns on, meaning that the hub is on. There is no off button, so the only way to turn it off would be to unplug it. That isn’t a huge problem since the hub does not draw very much power. Throughout my testing, the device worked flawlessly and with no problems whatsoever. I have noticed that the black part is a super glossy fingerprint magnet! When you plug in and remove USB’s, you tend to touch the black part, getting all of your grubby fingerprints on it, but I don’t see that as a huge problem. When I got curious, I plugged it into a wall adapter and started charging devices. I was amazed. I even plugged it into an external battery and it was working! Since I wasn’t sure if it was okay to do that, I asked whether it was okay and found out that the hub can only output 500mAh at the most. So it’s best to just use the hub as a data-transferring and managing tool.

I’ve kept this plugged into my laptop ever since I got it. It’s just so convenient to have all of my ports right next to the laptop. I don’t have to fumble around trying to find a port on my laptop. I can’t imagine unplugging it from my laptop now that I have become so accustomed to it. It really is a convenient thing to have!

Comparing this to other similar hubs out on the market, they just can’t compete with this one. Whether you’re looking at price or quality, Anker is victorious once again! Even the AmazonBasics 4 Port Hub (LINK REMOVED; AGAINST RULES) costs more than this and is nowhere close in quality. You can save a good amount of money buying the Anker hub and you can have a hub that is way better in both quality and performance. Also, you can’t plug in flash drives like this (LINK REMOVED; AGAINST RULES) side-by-side like you can on the Anker hub.

Overall, this hub is pretty amazing! The price, build, and quality is just off-the-charts amazing! Once again, Anker has created a great device that is both inexpensive and top-notch. This is best for those that always manage data on multiple devices or just someone who wants more ports. Or if you’re tired of always trying to find ports on your computer or laptop, this is a really nice thing to have. I highly recommend this!

I was provided a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
