ICY BOX IB-HUB1409-U3 — 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, All-Aluminium
4 x USB-A at 5 Gbps40 cm fixed cableSandblasted aluminiumVIA Labs VL812
The ICY BOX IB-HUB1409-U3 adds four USB-A ports to a computer that already has a USB-A socket, at up to 5 Gbps. Two things separate it from the crowd at this level: the body is aluminium throughout with a sandblasted finish rather than plastic with a metal lid, and the cable is a generous 40 cm — roughly double what most compact hubs give you. RaidSonic publishes the controller too, a VIA Labs VL812.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Check the suffix before ordering. ICY BOX sells the IB-HUB1409-C3, which is the same hub with a USB-C plug instead of USB-A. The two part numbers differ by one character, their EANs are consecutive, and listings frequently show both names together — but they are not interchangeable. This page is the U3, the USB-A version. The hub is bus-powered with no external supply and no charging input, so keyboards, mice, dongles, flash drives, card readers and one bus-powered SSD are the right load; two spinning hard drives are not. There is no video output and no Ethernet. RaidSonic lists Windows, Linux and macOS 9 or later, and rates the hub for 0 to 60 °C.
Best For
✓ Desktops and laptops short of USB-A sockets
✓ Towers under a desk — the 40 cm cable reaches up
✓ Linux workstations, where the OS is explicitly listed
✓ Keyboards, mice, dongles and flash drives
✓ One bus-powered external SSD at 5 Gbps
✓ Anyone who wants a solid metal hub rather than plastic
Key Features
All-aluminium, sandblasted
RaidSonic specifies aluminium with a sandblasted surface for the whole body, not just a top plate. At 68 g it stays where you put it and spreads the heat four active ports produce.
A cable that actually reaches
40 cm, fixed. Most compact hubs give you 15 to 20 cm, which is fine on a laptop and useless on a tower under a desk. This one covers both.
Published controller
A VIA Labs VL812 — named by the manufacturer. That matters in managed fleets, where a known controller means a known driver and a compatibility test you can repeat later.
Linux on the list
RaidSonic names Windows, Linux and macOS for this model. Plenty of hub makers omit Linux even though the hardware works; having it stated helps when a purchase has to clear a mixed-OS environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
ICY BOX gives several of its four-port hubs the same product title, so the part number is the only thing worth trusting. The 1409-U3 is the all-aluminium USB-A one, and its quiet advantages are the 40 cm cable and the named VL812 controller — the first solves a real desk problem, the second matters when a hub has to be signed off across a fleet. The genuine hazard is the IB-HUB1409-C3, the USB-C-plug version sold under nearly the same name with a consecutive EAN. Beyond that this is a plain hub: excellent for flash drives and receivers, fine for one external SSD, and no substitute for a dock if you also need a screen.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
Your computer has USB-A and needs four more sockets, and you want an all-metal hub with a cable long enough to reach from a tower to the desktop.
Skip it if
Skip it if your laptop only has USB-C ports (order the C3 instead), if you need to charge the laptop through it, or if video or Ethernet are part of the requirement.
Also consider
ICY BOX IB-HUB1409-C3 if your machine has USB-C, or a self-powered hub with its own adapter if several drives will run at once.
