Hytac EU-189 4-Port USB 2.0 Hub
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.
Manufacturers pivoted during the Covid-19
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.
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 external hard disk drives. They just bought new mobile phones or laptops with higher storage capacity.
Post-pandemic USB 2.0 Hubs
After the pandemic had ended with the WHO declaring its official end after March 2023, since internet security became more of a concern, it was necessary to make backups of your 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.
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
For extra connections needed like the list above, the Hytac EU-189 4-port USB 2.0 Hub solves that need. It can connect external webcams and webcams with built-in microphones for all types of web conferences and meetings online.
