StarTech.com HB30AM4AB — 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, 5 Gbps

5 Gbps SuperSpeed4 x USB-A from one USB-A portUASP supported28 cm attached cable

The StarTech.com HB30AM4AB turns one USB-A port into four, at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds of up to 5 Gbps. It is a plain, well-specified hub rather than a multiport dock: no video, no Ethernet, no card slot. StarTech publishes the controller it uses — a Realtek RTS5411E — and supports UASP, which is the protocol that lets an external SSD reach its proper speed instead of the slower legacy USB storage mode. The 28 cm attached cable has a management slot so it can be wound down when the hub sits on a desk.

Compatibility — check before buying:
The hub plugs in with a USB-A connector, so a laptop with only USB-C ports needs an adapter or a different model. It is bus-powered: StarTech rates the total output at 4.5 W, which is 900 mA shared across all four ports, not 900 mA each. That is enough for keyboards, mice, flash drives, card readers and one bus-powered 2.5-inch drive; it is not enough to run two portable drives spinning at once, and anything with its own mains adapter still needs it. There is no auxiliary power input on this model — if you need one, StarTech’s 5G4AB-USB-A-HUB is the version that has it.

Best For

✓ Desktops and laptops that have run out of USB-A ports
✓ Office desks with keyboard, mouse, headset and a flash drive
✓ Portable use — 80 g with the cable tucked into its slot
✓ One bus-powered 2.5-inch external drive plus small peripherals
✓ Machines where UASP speed on an external SSD matters
✓ Sites that want a named controller for imaging and sign-off

Key Features

 
5 Gbps with UASP
USB 3.2 Gen 1 SuperSpeed, and UASP support so an external SSD is not held back by the older bulk-only transfer mode. The 5 Gbps is shared across the four ports, so one drive at a time gets the full rate.
 
Published controller
StarTech names the chip: a Realtek RTS5411E. That matters in managed fleets, where a known controller means a known driver and a compatibility test that can be repeated a year from now.
 
Attached cable with a slot
The 28 cm cable is captive, so there is nothing to lose, and it winds into a slot in the body when the hub stays on a desk. At 80 g the whole thing lives in a laptop bag.
 
Backward compatible
USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices work at their own speeds on the same hub, so older barcode scanners and dongles are not a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run two portable hard drives at the same time?
Not comfortably. The hub shares 900 mA across all four ports, so two bus-powered drives spinning together will exceed what the host can deliver and one will usually drop out. For that job you want a self-powered hub with its own mains adapter — tell us which drives you have and we will match one.
Will it work on a USB-C laptop?
Only through an adapter. The hub’s own plug is USB-A. StarTech makes the same four-port hub with a USB-C plug (5G4AB-USB-C-HUB) if your machine has no USB-A port at all — ask us and we will check availability.
Does UASP make a real difference?
On an SSD, yes. UASP lets the drive queue commands instead of handling them one at a time, which typically lifts real-world transfer speeds noticeably over the legacy mode. On a flash drive or a mouse it changes nothing.
How does this differ from the StarTech hubs with switches or extra power?
HB30A4AIB is the same four ports with an individual on/off switch per port. 5G4AB-USB-A-HUB adds a Micro-USB auxiliary power input for another 4.5 W. The HB30AM4AB is the plain one: no switches, no aux input, smallest of the three to carry.
Singular Expert Insight
What makes this hub worth choosing over an unbranded one is that StarTech publishes the parts that usually stay hidden — the RTS5411E controller, UASP support and a hard 4.5 W total power figure. Those three numbers tell you exactly what it will and will not do, which is why it turns up in managed office fleets. Read the power figure carefully before pairing it with storage: one bus-powered drive is fine, two is not. If you are adding external SSDs to a workstation the UASP support is the reason to pick this over a USB 2.0 hub; if you need a screen and a network port from the same cable, you are looking for a docking station instead.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

You need four extra USB-A ports at full 5 Gbps from a USB-A machine, with a named controller and a published power budget, in a hub light enough to travel.

Skip it if

Skip it if your laptop only has USB-C, if two bus-powered drives must run at once, or if you need per-port switches or an auxiliary power input.

Also consider

StarTech HB30A4AIB if you want per-port on/off switches, 5G4AB-USB-A-HUB if you need the extra 4.5 W of auxiliary power, or a self-powered hub for multiple drives.
