Sabrent USB-SW30 Reviews

Sabrent USB 3.0 sharing switch is exellent for toggling between two Mac computers!

By JERALD
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-08-09

I purchased a Sabrent USB 3.0 Sharing switch from B&H to toggle between a Mac Pro Mid-2012 and a Mac Mini M2 2023. I should mention that the 2012 Mac Pro is only equipped with USB 2.0 ports. The USB 2.0 ports on the Mac Pro created an extreme delay in toggling the USB from the Mac Mini to the Mac Pro. (I had an older USB switch that I replaced with the Sabrent switch.) Because the toggle rate was so unpredictable with USB 2.0, I purchased a PCIe card with four USB 3.2 ports and installed it in the Mac Pro. Wow! What a difference!) Once I received the necessary USB 3.2 cables that I had ordered online, I set up the Sabrent USB 3.0 switch and tested it out. It worked flawlessly and continues to do so! Thanks Sabrent! Excellent product!

Can I have PC A as my desktop, and PC B as my laptop, and have a USB HUB as in the USB port? There is only one, and I want to share my keyboard, mouse, and usb headphones.
Asked by: John
That could work but this item only has 2 x USB Type-B USB 3.1 for devices so one of the items would be left out. Besides that it would work perfectly for this purpose.

Can I use this switch for two USB hard drives that have their own power supply?
Asked by: Gerald
Unfortunately the Sabrent USB 3.0 Sharing Switch would be only able to handle switching of one USB hard drives with external power. You could use the IOGEAR 4x4 USB 2.0 Peripheral Sharing Switch (IOGUS404).
