What is a Micro USB Hub?
A Micro USB Hub is a device designed to plug into your computer and instantly turn it into four additional USB ports. It can be plugged in directly with the supplied cable, or if you prefer, some people like to use an extension cable as well. A Micro USB Hub makes adding extra USB ports very easy when needed, and when not required, they’re very simple to just unplug.
Here are five reasons for using a micro USB hub:
1- Reboot Without Unplugging the Devices Connected to Your Computer
If you have a lot of devices plugged into your computer, it can often be difficult to unplug everything to restart your computer. With a Micro USB Hub, you can simply unplug the hub from your computer and then plug it back in after your computer has restarted. This way, you don’t have to worry about unplugging all of your devices and potentially causing damage to them.
2- Easily Add or Remove Devices Without Uninstalling Drivers
If you need to add or remove a device from your computer, it can often be difficult to find the driver disc and then uninstall the old driver and install the new one. With a Micro USB Hub, you can simply plug in or unplug the devices you want to use without ever having to worry about uninstalling any drivers.
3- Perfect for Laptops With Fewer than 4 USB Ports
If you have a laptop with only 2 or 3 USB ports, this can be frustrating if it does not leave you with enough available ports to plug in all of your devices. A Micro USB Hub would allow you to add 2 or 3 USB ports while still leaving 1 or 2 free for other devices plugged directly into the computer itself. This gives you the option of using wireless mice and keyboards while still being able to plug in printers, scanners, external drives, etc., without running out of available USB ports.
4- Use Different Devices At Once
If you need to use more than one device at a time, a Micro USB Hub makes this very easy. You can plug in a wireless mouse and keyboard, as well as a printer or scanner, allowing you to have all of these devices connected at the same time. This allows you to effortlessly switch between each device without having to constantly unplug and replug them.
5- Use Multiple Flash Drives Without Running Out of Ports
A Micro USB Hub also makes it possible for you to connect many flash drives directly to your computer. It would allow you to have four flash drives plugged into one hub, which would then be connected into just one of your computer’s available USB ports (if all available ports were occupied). This makes it very easy for you to quickly transfer files between computers or save larger amounts of data on multiple devices.
