I used this hub regularly for over two weeks connected to a Lenovo laptop with native USB-C ports, one of which served as the output port to this hub's USB-C input. I was able to connect a variety of USB-A and USB-C devices without any issues. Initially I attempted to connect an external HDMI monitor to one of the USB-C output ports on this hub. This did not work, but I reached out to Customer Service for email support and was promptly informed that this use case is not supported, as is stated in the user documentation. I then daisy-chained an HDMI-capable powered hub and was able to power this hub with one of the onboard USB-C power ports and successfully use an external HDMI monitor as an additional display. I also used the other USB-C power port to power an external solid state drive for data transfer. I did not perform specific Read or Write speed calculations, but I was satisfied with the speed of external drive access thru this hub. The ability to toggle on and off each individual port is also a nice feature. I found this device to be easy to use and reliable throughout. Definitely recommend. Read more
I'm quite satisfied with this powered hub. I got it to replace an older USB-A only hub that did not deliver as much power or have any USB-C ports. The mix of USB-A and various flavors of USB-C ports are perfect for my set of peripherals. I am using it both as a charging hub as well as for the data capabilities. Throughput on my external hard drive connected to my laptop through this hub is just as fast as when the drive is connected directly to the laptop. I also appreciate that the ports can be selectively powered on or off. No complaints! Read more
The media could not be loaded. So to begin, I want to point out this hub in exceptionally helpful, especially when I need to use different "small" desktops like Mac minis and windows mini PCs, and I need expanded i/o. Here is my first gripe, the included 3ft USB-C connector for the hub. Yes I can buy and put in my own USB-10gbps cable that is longer, but that extra effort should not be necessitated. My own personal desktop PC sits near the floor under my desk, and the most convenient place for the hub is on my desk. If I want to raise my desk to stand and work, the hub cannot reach with its short 3ft cable. Setup is plug and play, so nothing special there. The individual ports have a appreciable amount of tightness, so devices won’t slip loose or get pulled out while shifting the hub or adding and removing other devices. In terms of speed, you can refer to my video and screenshots, and the usb 3.2 does indeed perform at 10gbps. That being said, here is my second gripe. While referring to USB as “USB 3.2” isn’t officially obsolete, USB-IF strongly recommends all products to use the speed indication, instead of 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, etc, because those old version numbers can be misleading and unclear in terms of practical capability. Overall, it’s a good product that seems to have been providing reliable speeds for me for the past few days. I have no need to use this exclusively as a charger, but I did test and confirm that the 45w charging port actually charges my S25 ultra at 45w. Read more
Used this hub for over a week in the office and it’s been solid so far. Tons of ports, which is exactly what I needed for drives, keyboard, mouse, and charging stuff all at once. Data speeds feel fast and stable, even when multiple things are plugged in. The powered adapter definitely helps, no random disconnects. I like the individual touch buttons more than I expected, makes it easy to turn ports on/off without unplugging. Build feels sturdy, not cheap. Overall, does what it promises and feels worth the price. Read more
This USB hub what you would expect from a powered USB hub - USB A&C, rapid charging, etc in a conveniently sized device. I didn't test the speed but I was able to use this for routing audio and MIDI over USB without any unusual latency. Additionally the hub allows ytou to turn on and off individual USB connections. This is very useful for me - I use this in my hoime studio and I can turn on and off usb powered devices (midi keyboards, drum machine, etc) as I need them. Works great, highly recommended. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Connectivity is key in today's fast-paced world, and this device truly excels in that aspect. With numerous ports for type C, it ensures seamless connections to various devices. The convenience of being able to connect to a power source via an adapter is simply unmatched. This feature alone makes it an essential tool for any professional. Highly recommend this product for its efficiency and reliability, super fast connections and they're amazing! Each port has a on and off switch, which is such a lifesaver. The only thing I could suggest is adding some HDMI connections. It would make things so much easier and more convenient. I mean, who doesn't love a good HDMI connection? It's like magic when you can just plug in and go. These ports are a total game-changer. If you're thinking about upgrading, I highly recommend these.

I got this extender for use for a dock setup of my MacBook Pro. functions well, although the LEDs on this thing are pretty bright and there's no way to turn that off. So I'm keeping it under the desk. I enjoy the presence of both USB-C and USB A, with all of them being high speed.. With the caveat, of course, that there is no video output, so I can't use my USB C monitor with this. That eliminates a one cable solution to the laptop. Additionally good lord, I hate touch sensors where buttons should be. I feel like th that might have even unnecessarily added to the bill of materials on this thing. I have a twelve-port high-speed dock that I got for 35. At the time of writing this is fifty dollars, which isn't exactly an a compelling price proposition. Read more
