Pre-pandemic USB 2.0 hub products

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, large combo hubs have become very popular.

These are hubs that contain USB 2.0 ports combined with ports for various sizes of memory cards and flash drives. Fast-forward to now, manufactured hub sizes are smaller and more multifunctional, rather than just for memory, like the product featured in this blog post: the Hytac 4-port USB 2.0 Hub.

Q: How did manufacturers pivot during the Covid-19

A: During the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers of laptops and mobile phones have began to increase the memory storage of their device models. Before 2021, the second year of the pandemic, Samsung Galaxy models increased their storage capacity.

Q: How did PH professionals and MSMEs become proactive?

A: Since mobile phones and laptops began to have more storage, many MSMEs and Filipino freelancers were able to save money from purchasing memory cards, flash drives, and especially bigger external hard disk drives. They just bought new mobile phones or laptops with higher storage capacity.

Q: What other proactive measures did PH professionals do?

A: After the pandemic had ended, with the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring its official end after March 2023, internet security became a big concern. It became necessary to make backups of data files and other documents. Additional USB 2.0 ports were still necessary for those with WFH Jobs and those who work remote or hybrid.

Q: What USB 2.0 ports were commonly sold at the time?

A: Since the ports of a laptop are often standardized with just two USB 2.0 ports, a USB 2.0 is still necessary to plug in an:

• External webcam
• External keyboard
• External mouse
• Printer, or
• Data cables

Q: What brand of USB 2.0 was sold that was handy and light?

A: The Hytac EU-189 4-port USB 2.0 Hub solved the need for a USB Hub that was slim, compact, handy, and light for any remote work. It can connect external webcams and webcams with built-in microphones for all types of web conferences and meetings online.
