There is a cheap USB hub with an external power adapter so i definately meets the criteria of cheap powered usb hub.
But I would like to know the intended use so I can recommend one that will do what you want not one that fits a 3 word description of a device.
This is good for a phone farm,
This is another good one,
Hi, Iâm just after expanding the number of USB sockets on my laptop (Lenovo X230), which currently has 3 I believe⌠2 x USB3 sockets and 1 x USB2 socket⌠I often use a printer, mouse, charge my phone via a USB lead, and connect 1 or 2 external SATA HDDs via a USB to SATA lead/s⌠1 of my SATA to USB leads is USB3 âenabledâ and the other USB to SATA lead is just USB2. Thanks
Good and cheap. Two words that sound great but usually donât go together.
I follow the advice I learned years ago to over buy USB hubs because they âalwaysâ burn out.
So I took that advice and ran to the cheapest place I know and purchased a few USB hubâs to plan for burnouts.
I used this with Gecko Science USB miners. It did burn the USB hubs out, in time.
I actually buy a lot of tech and mining stuff from that web site. Enjoy.
To note: I opted for the USB2.0 instead of 3.0 because I donât need 3.0, and the unit is cheaper.
Iâm sure you always get what you pay for, so for $2 bucks⌠it ainât going to be the Taj Mahal . But I do believe the tell about âthey always burn outâ.
I remember watching a video where the dude described how to build your own computer quality USB hub that will never burn out. At the end of the video he said âor just get a real 4 port USB hub and mount/install it to your computerâ.
Edit: I canât tell if the hub I linked has an external power added, The ones I purchased did, they came with a USB connector cord and a 120V connector cord. You want an âadded external powerâ type.
This may be more slots than you need, but Iâve been using this anker USB hub for 2 years and enjoy it. My main advice is to get a powered hub, so then youâll never run into power issues w/ multiple devices attached to it.
