Know your gear
Here's a must-have accessory if you have a USB-C™ equipped computer but need more USB-A ports. This portable USB 3.0 hub expands your laptop or desktop connectivity by adding four USB Type-A ports through a single USB Type-C™ or Thunderbolt™ 3 port. And, because it's USB bus-powered, you don't need to connect an external power adapter, which makes travel more convenient and workstations less cluttered. Keep using your current peripherals and devices If you're looking to extend the life of your existing USB-A peripheral devices, then this hub is the perfect solution. By converting your computer's USB-C port into four USB-A ports, you can continue to use all of your existing USB 3.0 devices such as flash drives, external hard drives, and printers (USB 3.0 is also known as USB 3.1 Gen 1). Now you can save money by avoiding the added cost and hassle of purchasing new USB-C equipped peripherals. Add USB ports, virtually anywhere you go With its compact and lightweight design, this USB hub is tailored for mobility. You can easily tuck it into your laptop bag when traveling, which makes it easy to expand your connectivity almost anywhere you need to. Plus, with a small-footprint design the 4-port hub takes up minimal desk space when connected in your work area. Bus-powered design makes travel more convenient This versatile USB-C hub is bus-powered, which means it draws its power directly from your computer's USB-C port. This means there are fewer cables to carry with you when you travel because it doesn't need an external power adapter. Add four USB 3.0 ports in seconds This USB hub is multi-platform compatible, which means it will work with a wide range of laptops. It also works with a range of operating systems such as Windows®, Mac, Linux® and Chrome OS™. It installs automatically once you connect it to your laptop, so you can be up and running in seconds. The HB30C4AB is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Great Product Recommendation From Dell
Having purchased a 4-Port hub from a competitor, a hub that wasn't working, I contacted Dell for support. The tech was able to figure out that the product was defective, and at my request recommended the 4-Port StarTech hub. What a difference. I took about 3 minutes to open the package and plug the hub into my laptop computer. Every port functions at full capacity and I couldn't be happier. Thanks, Dell for the super recommendation.

My Little Dongle - the StarTech Hub
It's so cute and only about the size of a credit card! My 4-port StarTech hub barely takes up any space on my 30-inch round kitchen table so there's room for my new 17-inch Dell XSP laptop. Space is at a premium here as I live in a small condo in an over 55 community.
In addition to my old wired optical mouse (which I plan to replace with a track ball when Covid eases, this little guy also supports two thumb drives for backup and an old external drive containing my scanned photos. I love it.

It's Okay
I purchased 2 of these, because I have lots of USB devices. I can't tell if it's the hub or my PC, but depending on which port I plug the hub into, it won't work. My other hub is in the rental car, and until I return, I won't be doing any troubleshooting. My new laptop only has USB-C ports, so that is why I had to buy these hubs. Not many devices come USB-C-ready. That detail escaped me when I bought the laptop.

Can you ever have too many USB ports?
I use this with my employer-issued laptop. We went to all telework on a day when I was already teleworking so my docking station, which has lots of USB slots is stuck at the office.
With lots of Webex and Skype calls I found myself wanting headphones, and then my wireless mouse broke and I needed to plug in an old mouse and more USB ports became a necessity.
This one works very well. It fits into the lighting port my docking station used and everything works great!
