Acer USB Hub 3.0 Ultra Slim 4-Port USB Adapter
Product description
This ultra-slim USB hub expands a laptop or desktop with four extra USB-A ports while keeping a low profile for travel and desk use. If you need a USB hub for Acer laptops and other devices, this adapter offers SuperSpeed data transfer and a compact form that sits neatly beside a notebook for everyday peripherals.
Key Points
The hub provides four USB 3.0 ports that allow simultaneous connection of flash drives, mice, keyboards and external hard drives. It supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed transfers up to 5 Gbps, which can make copying large files and HD media noticeably faster compared with older USB 2.0 ports. The product includes a Type-C input labelled IN 5V that powers the USB-A ports, but according to the manufacturer it cannot be used for data transfer or to charge other devices, so it functions only as a power supply for the hub.
Compact and lightweight, the unit is finished in an ABS shell with a metallic look and features an LED indicator to show operation. The internal GL3510 chip and the hub’s thermal design are intended to keep connected drives and data stable during simultaneous use. Note that while the hub supports multiple drives at once, performance of some power-hungry peripherals may depend on the power available from the host or the Type-C input.
😊 The plug-and-play design requires no drivers on common operating systems, making setup straightforward for Windows, macOS, Linux and Chrome OS. It is compatible with a wide range of systems including Acer notebooks, Dell XPS, Microsoft Surface and many PCs.

Usage Recommendations
Use the hub on a desk or in a bag with a laptop for quick access to multiple peripherals while travelling. For best results with external hard drives, ensure the host device provides adequate power or use the Type-C input as the hub’s power source according to the manufacturer. Keep in mind that the Type-C inlet cannot transfer data or charge other gadgets, so plan connections accordingly. For devices that require dedicated charging, a separate charger will be necessary. 😊
