ORICO PDD4U-U3 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub - Grey

Running out of USB ports on your laptop or desktop can disrupt your workflow. The ORICO PDD4U-U3 hub solves this by turning a single USB-A port into four high-speed USB 3.0 ports, so you can connect a mouse, keyboard, flash drive, and external hard drive all at once without constantly swapping cables.

Who is it for

Tips

For best performance, connect high-bandwidth devices like external SSDs directly to the hub's ports, and avoid using unpowered USB extension cables. The hub is bus-powered, so total power draw is limited by the host port – if you connect multiple power-hungry devices, consider using a powered USB hub instead.
