SABRENT Premium 3 Port Aluminum USB 3.0 Hub with Multi in 1 Card Reader (12" Cable) for iMac, All MacBooks, Mac Mini, or Any PC (HB-MACR)

I think the design is striking visually. It does take a bit of getting used to tho. The USB ports take cables perpendicular to the face of the unit. Memory cards go in at an odd angle, almost parallel to my desk, but not quite. At first I thought cards wouldn't go in, but they do. I guess it makes sense to have them go in at a different angle. It makes them not get "tangled up" with the USB cables. There's also a white light that's on all the time. I like it tho.

I wasn't sure this would work from the item description but this USB hub works to power my Wyze camera, and charge all my USB powered stuff. Reads my mem sticks too. Just what I was looking... for the SD card readers are a nice bonus if I ever need them.

This is a nice USB hub. I have it connected to a Mac Pro and despite some of the other reviews saying this device only works at USB 2.0, mine is USB 3.0 and is quite fast. It is a good looking device that seems very well built. The only issue I have that make me rate this three stars rather than four or five is that the memory card readers do not work with the Mac Pro. I believe this is because I have upgraded to El Capitan as the memory card readers do work when connected to my MacBook Pro that has not been upgraded to El Capitan. So I am hopeful the memory card reader will start working on the Mac Pro once Apple decides to give us an update to El Capitan. But if you are running El Capitan and must have the memory card working on day 1, you may want to go with something else that has been verified as working with El Capitan. I'll update my review when it starts working fully, presuming it will.UPDATE: all is well now. Not sure what fixed it, but I think it was an update to El Capitan. This is a good product, the only issue I have is the angle of insertion for an SD card is a bit strange. Works great and it isn't difficult to get the card in, but you need to align it right.

Many other reviews have mentioned that every time an SD card is ejected, in order to recognize a new card, the entire hub has to be unplugged. I have found a way to avoid unplugging, if you are interested you can keep reading.This hub's eject functionality worked flawlessly under ubuntu/linux, but under Windows, ejecting would lead to a disabled SD card port, because Windows is expecting a power reset to complete the ejection. For USB drives that's a normal operation, you eject then unplug. But for the SD card reader, there is no way to just unplug the reader, so this workaround use a 'software unplug' to simulate.1. find the instance id of the SD card reader, since this is unique per PC, you will have to find your own. plug in a SD card, then ejected it normally. Now go into 'Computer Management' -> 'Device Manager', under 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' look for the 'USB Mass Storage Device' with yellow question mark, this is the device you just ejected and waiting to the unplugged. Double click, go to 'Details' tab and in 'Property' select 'Device instance path', let's call it INSTANCE_ID, you will need this later.2. With INSTANCE_ID we can perform a soft reset. Open 'Command prompt' with admin privilege, and type in the following 2 lines. pnputil /restart-device "INSTANCE_ID" pnputil /remove-device "INSTANCE_ID"3. Now go back to 'Device Manager', you will see the 'USB mass storage device' with yellow question mark should have disappeared. click the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon below the top menu, and now Windows should recognize the SD card reader as a newly plug in device, and ready to function again.To simplify the 3 steps I stored a script called 'reset_usb.bat' on my desktop with the following content, and run it by right click and 'Run As Administrator' pnputil /restart-device "INSTANCE_ID" pnputil /remove-device "INSTANCE_ID" devmgmt.mscSo the 'Device Management' window would pop up at the end, and I can click the 'scan hardware changes' to bring in new SD card after ejection.This is definitely more complicated then it need to be, if anyone else have a better way, would be happy to learn from you.

Just what my wife needed

This is the perfect reader for USB flash drives and SD cards. I especially appreciate the angle design.

I have owned many different Sabrent items in the past (USB audio adapters, hard drive adapters, cables, etc.) and they have all served me well. For this reason, I expected this to be a homerun... not so much.The micro SD reader seems to work as it should (which is the main reason I got it), but the SD reader is very finicky. Some times it will read it right off, other times it shows the drive as having 'right protection'. At that point, I have to unplug the USB and plug it back in, which usually fixes the issue. The problem is that I have the unit as a semi-permanent set-up on my desk, so unplugging the cable is not the easiest task.The USB hub seems to work mostly, but sometimes also require a unplug/plug cycle. like the SD card. A very annoying fact about the USB hub is that the ports are upside-down. It seems like the R&D department would have noticed this, especially since it seems like they put a lot of effort into the aesthetics of the device.I also don't like how the cord is fixed (but I knew about this ahead of time, so I'm not too annoyed about that). I understand that this is mainly intended for USB additions top a laptop, but for those of us using it for a remote reader on a desktop, please engineer it with a removable cable, so that we can make it longer without having to use a hokey USB extension cable.I can't comment of the CF reader, since I don't have a need for it, currently. (Although, that seems to be a complaint from many other users, and I am a bit worried if I ever have the need for it later.)I have only made a couple of major transfers, and it seems to be okay in the speed department, but with all of the other issues, I may be returning this one for a different item.

para mi gusto el cable queda algo corto, lo requiero para utilizarlo con mi portatil HP, resulta que el puerto USB-C queda del lado izquierdo, por lo que considero que o debería haber una versión con el cable del lado inverso o tener un cable más largo para facilitar el uso a personas con casos como el mío, porque aún cuando puedo usar una extensión, no creo que sea el caso tener conector sobre conector para algo tan simple.

nice and compact works with new mac mini m2
