TP-Link UH400 USB 3.0 Hub India — 4 Ports, ₹599–799, No Nonsense
TP-Link UH400: The Boring, Reliable USB 3.0 Hub India Deserves
TP-Link is better known for routers in India, but their networking brand discipline carries over to peripherals. The UH400 at ₹599–799 is a 4-port USB 3.0 hub — minimal, reliable, and correctly priced for what it does.
What Works
USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) on all four ports is the meaningful upgrade over the Zebronics ZEB-HB4002C and other budget 2.0 hubs. Copying a 10GB folder from an SSD-based USB drive takes minutes, not an evening. For photographers transferring card content via a USB 3.0 card reader, or anyone doing regular USB drive backups, this difference is real.
The folding cable design is a nice practical touch — wraps up cleanly in a bag without getting tangled. Compact enough to live in a laptop bag permanently.
TP-Link has solid Indian market presence — their products are stocked at MDComputers, PrimeABGB, Vedant Computers, Croma, and the major e-commerce platforms. This means easy returns, local warranty, and availability outside the top metros.
No driver installation needed on Windows 7 through Windows 11, macOS, and Linux.
What Doesn't
No USB-C outputs — USB-A only. If your peripherals or drives are USB-C native, you'll need adapters.
Bus-powered like most hubs at this size and price. External HDDs that draw significant current (2.5-inch spinning drives) may not spin up reliably without a Y-cable or separately powered hub. SSDs and flash drives work fine.
No power delivery, no display output, no Ethernet. This is purely USB-A port multiplication.
The cable is fixed and non-removable — if the cable frays, the hub is done. In my experience this takes years of abuse to become an issue, but it's worth noting for the cable-fragile crowd.
India Availability and Value
One of the more easily sourced hubs in India. MDComputers carries it, Amazon India has multiple fulfilled listings, and you can find it at Croma in tier-1 cities. TP-Link India provides warranty support through their official channels. GST invoices available from authorized sellers.
At ₹599–799, it's a marginal price over the Zebronics ZEB-HB4002C for a meaningful speed upgrade.
Who Should Buy This
Desktop and laptop users who do regular USB drive file transfers and find USB 2.0 speeds frustrating. Anyone upgrading from an old USB 2.0 hub. Photographers who transfer cards to USB readers. IT professionals who carry a hub for field work.
Who Should Skip This
USB-C centric users — you need a hub that matches your port ecosystem. Anyone needing HDMI, Ethernet, or card reader capability should step up to a Vention 9-in-1 or Anker 575. External HDD users who need reliable power delivery should look for a hub with an external PSU.
Questions
With a USB 3.0 flash drive or external SSD, expect 150–350 MB/s depending on the drive's own speed rating. The hub doesn't bottleneck modern USB 3.0 drives. USB 2.0 drives will still max out at ~40 MB/s — the hub won't make them faster.
2.5-inch HDDs may work but are not guaranteed — bus power can be insufficient. Use a USB Y-cable (one end for data, one for extra power) or a powered hub for HDDs. SSDs and flash drives connect without issues.
Yes — TP-Link has an active India support structure through their website and authorized service centers. Warranty claims are handled locally, unlike grey-market products.
