ORICOUSB 3.0 Hub, USB Hub Clamp, Aluminum 4-Port USB Splitter with Extra Power Supply Port and 4.92 FT USB Data Cable, Desktop Powered USB Hub for Monitors/Desks-Black (Without Power Adapter)

Solid design... compact, functional and complete. USB A and C connectivity to PC...quality anodizing on the metal. Very good value.

I like that I can place it on my desk with the clamping mechanism so I set this up on the back part of my desk and since my desk it black, it blends in perfectly and sometimes I forget it’s even there. Great little device to have extra usb ports and have no issues with connectivity. It feels really durable too.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to try to minimize how many cables I had running to the back of my PC since they’re almost all gaming related. This was the answer to that. Insanely easy setup. Mount it where you want it on your desk and then plug it in. The quality is impeccable. It works great. I haven’t had a single connection issue yet. The price is fair. The cable it comes with isn’t the longest, so that could be an issue for some. I’d buy again if I find the need for more USB’s on top.

This is a functional device, probably best used as a portable option. The supplied USB 3 data cable is very high quality and well insulated. A micro usb power cable and power supply are not provided with the purchase.The device I received powered two 4TB WD Elements USB 3.0 drives without using the additional power input. From a late December 2015 iMac (max spec), I simultaneously ran a Time Machine backup to one drive and a CCCloner file transfer to another. Both were a few hundred MB of various media files, mostly music, the Time Machine backup was slightly larger. I ran this type of transfer three times over two days. I did not benchmark the transfers. Regardless, the simultaneous transfers were successful without additional power. This is an anecdotal functionality test. I did not test extended duration transfers.Personally, I wouldn't use this for a permanent USB solution, but I suppose one could. I prefer dedicated bracket or rack mounted powered industrial USB for permanent hubs.Mounting Jaw Width x Depth - (overall product length is 3.5 inches)1.25in x 3/8in - with thumbscrew end-cap1.50in x 3/8in - without end-capThe end-cap is threaded and easily removed, it is 1/4 inch diameter of middling quality and manufacture.The mounting option on this devices is a great concept but a bit dodgy in implementation. The trough or jaw depth is shallow at only 1cm or about 3/8in. Max width with the thumbscrew rubber end cap is 1.25 inches. Removing the threaded end-cap gives a very tight 1.5 inch width. Given that it's shallow depth at 1cm, it's not a very stable or secure mounting option. It doesn't provide a solid bite. If using a permanent screw instead of the rubber end cap and thumbscrew there's only about 3/16 to 1/8 inch with which to work. The jaw is bare metal, aluminum, no polymer or rubber lining.Irrespective of using the end-cap or not, the shallow jaw depth prevents a solid bite and secure fixed mount. A 2cm or 2.54 cm ( 1 inch ) jaw depth would provide a more secure and stable mount. An adjustable sliding bracket or flange instead of a rubber end-cap would probably be better.It's a good device, minus one star for the shallow jaw depth. Worth the money. The solid aluminum housing and micro usb power port are definite advantages (usb c would be better). I may purchase another. It will go in one of my computer bags or backpacks, possibly with a second one in a car or truck.

Mounted a mini pc under the desk and wanted more USB access. Tried this and mounted it next to the mini pc facing down as it is on the front lip of the desk and I didnt want the wires sticking up vertically and getting in the way. Works perfectly and looks clean as well. So far I am very pleased with it and would recommend. I have not tested any throughput or anything like that.

Great for managing USB ports. No more fishing around on your device to find a USB port. This is handy yet out of the way. And truly easy plug and play for my keyboard / mouse receiver. Definitely a good purchase.

I use my Macbook Pro to import digital image via XQD reader to an external hard drive and then process via Lightroom and export to a second external hard drive. My laptop only has two usb ports and one of them is taken by a Bluetooth dongle for a mouse. Few things are as frustrating as getting the message that your drive, while you are in the middle of using it, was improperly ejected, due to an unsteady connection through a sloppy USB hubr, requiring me to wait 30 minutes for my Mac to test and reload the drive. I keep this hub clamped to a bookshelve next to my reclining chair and can comforatbly and confidently work with all the peripherals I need connected with no fear of mishap. The hub stays put and the usb connections are tight. Very good fit and finish. My only regret is that it is not externally powered as I suspect that sometimes my laptop is not supplying adequate power to run three drives at once.
