Use your existing USB 5Gbps devices such as flash drives, mouse, keyboard and external hard drives. The 4-port USB hub expands your computer’s USB Type-A port into four USB 5Gbps ports, and it’s backward compatible with your older USB 2.0 devices.
USB 5Gbps is also known as USB 3.2 Gen 1, and USB 3.0.

Each port on the USB hub has its own power switch so you can turn off devices when they’re not in use. That means you can better manage power consumption for your USB devices, without having to physically disconnect the device or cable.
