1 / 7UGREEN 50985 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub
The UGREEN 50985 USB hub expands one USB connection into four USB 3.0 ports for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, flash drives and card readers. Its separate USB-C socket is for power only, not data or video, so it does not add USB-C connectivity for peripherals or a display.
At a glance

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the title describes a five-in-one hub with 5V/2.4A PD, while the feature text and box list specify four USB 3.0 data ports and a power-only USB-C socket, with one feature passage stating 5V/2A. The stated 5-port total does not explain the fifth connection. A laptop/PC compatibility highlight mentions a keyboard and mouse, but the explicit contents list names only the hub, so those accessories are unconfirmed. Check the selected listing if the exact port count, power rating or bundle matters.

Who is it for?
A good fit for
- Laptop or desktop users who need several USB-A connections for lower-power peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, flash drive or card reader.
- People seeking a compact hub for travel or a home-office desk, rather than a display adapter or USB-C data hub.
Less suited to
- Users who need USB-C data transfer or video output from the hub.
- Buyers who need assured power for larger external hard drives without checking the drive's power requirements and the hub's performance for that setup.

Customer feedback highlights functionality, port flexibility, easy setup, portability and a slim design, including reported use with PS4 and multiple USB devices. However, feedback on power is mixed, with some customers saying larger USB hard drives do not receive enough. That concern is relevant because the hub has a separate power input, but the listing's stated power details are inconsistent and do not establish compatibility with every drive. The overall rating distribution is mostly positive, while a smaller share of ratings are lower.
Positive themes
- Customers report straightforward setup and useful connections for multiple devices.
- Feedback praises the hub's portability and slim design.
Mixed feedback
- Power feedback is mixed, with reports that larger USB hard drives may not receive enough power.

The listing describes an additional power input, but customer feedback reports mixed results with larger USB hard drives. Suitability depends on the drive and power arrangement.
