Decent in look and performance
Apart from some delivery problems, the product is worth having for it's decent looks and data transfer speeds(depending on whether the other memory is HDD, SSD or silicon based phone memory). Gives an average speed of around 30 MBPS while transferring to and from internal SSD memory in my laptop and PC, which isn't bad. Look wise, it's kind of cute and also light-weighted, easy to carry around. The only drawback is the length of the attached cable which I find too short for me being a bedroom music producer, often literally working on my bed in my laptop, having to connect multiple portable HDDs and my external SSD, the audio interface etc. Double it's present length would've been a blast. Overall, a good buy at that price.

Works as expected
The cord length is a little short. But that could be a con or a pro, depending on who you ask. I bought this to keep the desk clean, so the wires aren't spread around, and are connected to 1 common hub. All the ports work fine and there is a blue light that lights up, to confirm that the hub is indeed connected. The packaging was very good as well. Highly recommend.

Will work properly for one Month
It worked properly for one month after that it just wont connect external storage devices, cant connect external HDDs, tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections, it only connects external devices like printer, keyboard, mouse and even then it throws usb device not recognized error from time to time, only fix to that is disconnect usb hub and its connected devices, first connect the hub and later connect other devices.

Not sure of its capacity
Does a great job with 2-3 pen drives together plugged in. However when i plugged in my hard-disk along with one more pen-drive, my laptop suddenly stopped working. Almost like a fuse happened!

Not recommended
This actually is a handy device to have but I can't give a good rating on this product. Just after one week of use, it stopped working. I am sure there are better options for this price.

Cheap and cheerful, but has one issue
So what's the one issue? High speed device overhead.I've had a run of USB devices that failed to live up to their advertising. Saying "up to 5Gbps" or "up to 10gbps" and delivering 1/10th or even 1/100th of the rated speed is false advertising as far as I'm concerned. I test the manufacturer's claims are return what fails to live up to them.The Orico 4-port hub mostly does what it says, but it still has issues delivering the full 5gbps rated speed.Testing devices that used were:- Intel NUC with USB3.1 Gen 2 (10gbps) USB ports.- Windows Pro 10- CrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 x64, using 1GB file size, averaged over 2 tests.- Samsung T5 portable SSD.- Seagate Ironwolf Pro 18TB drive in a ProBox USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10gbps) 4-drive enclosure.Refer to included screenshots for detailed benchmark results. Labels at bottom.Starting off with connecting my Samsung T5 SSD directly to my PC, it benchmarked at:559MB/s read. 528MB/s write.Connected via the Orico Hub, it benchmarked at:462MB/s read. 446MB/s write.An overhead of 17.3% on reads, and 15.5% on writes. These overheads continued through all tests except random access tests which were about even at ~20MB/s read, 39MB/s write. This overhead would mean that large file transfers would be 15-17% slower using the Orico Hub when using high speed devices.Moving onto the slower external HDD enclosure, directly connected to my PC it benchmarked at:198MB/s read, 193MB/s write.Connected via the Orico Hub, it benchmarked at:196MB/s read, 193MB/s write.The slower external HDD showed no overhead, testing within the margin of error.As for the physical properties of the Orico hub, it had a dim blue led showing it's plugged in and receiving power - always a handy thing for troubleshooting. It is an unpowered hub though, so if you device needs power you may need to look for a self-powered hub.The four USB ports on the Hub were tight in use. You'll need two hands to unplug your devices, but then you won't need to worry about them accidently falling out either. The cord is very short. It matched the description, but I would have liked a longer cord. The plastic case was light and looked solid enough for use.If you only want to use this hub for self-powered or low-powered devices, and the devices are low to medium speed (eg self-powered external HDDs, USB memory sticks, mice, non-led keyboards), then this cheap hub would be suitable.If you demand no overhead high speed transfers, or require high power draws (eg external SSDs, phone charging) then this hub would not be suitable.My planned use is connecting several self-powered external HDDs, so I'll be keeping this hub. I bought 2 and the other hub tested similar to the first. I deducted 1 star for the high speed transfer speed overhead.Overall: 4/5 stars.

Good
it’s made from super light plastic but it works as it should work. i would not recommend using it 24/7 as the plastic kinda scares me due to it seeming like a safety hazard, but that’s just me i get scared when it comes to electrical things being on for to long. but it works well

Get what you pay for
I bought this as my first splitter for audio software use to see if a cheap one can do the job. Conclusion? It’s…OK. As it’s taking usb bus power it is a bit laggy when you have more than one thing going through it. I can see why people Get powered splitters for more ‘serious’ use. This would do fine if you used it peripherals that aren’t too power hungry.
