The SABRENT 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with LED Switches gives desktop users individual on/off power control over each port, useful for peripherals that benefit from power cycling without unplugging: external hard drives, printers, and USB-powered devices that don't fully wake from standby. The LED indicators show which ports are active at a glance. At $17.99, it costs $10 more than the Anker basic 4-port ($7.99). That premium buys per-port power switching, which basic hubs don't offer. The Atolla 4-port with charging ($19.99) adds a smart charging port for phones and tablets instead of per-port switching. If controlling power to specific peripherals is the primary need, choose the SABRENT. If a phone charging port alongside USB data ports is the need, the Atolla is $2 more and the better fit.
