What is it for?
Modern laptops come with fewer and fewer ports. A hub turns one USB port on your computer into seven, so you can connect a printer, backup drive, camera, keyboard and more — all at once.
What matters about this model: it comes with its own 36W power adapter. Cheap hubs without their own power "steal" energy from the laptop, which is why drives disconnect on their own. This one doesn't. It also works without installing anything: plug it in and go, on Windows, Mac or Linux.
Is it compatible with my device?
Almost certainly — it works with any computer that has a USB port. Here's how to confirm:

PROSS technician's note
“This is the hub we put in small offices when the client is tired of $10 hubs that drop the drive mid-backup. The dedicated power supply makes all the difference. Note: the charging ports work for phones, but it won't charge laptops.”
