Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Usb-c hub gives full speed of thunderbolt port but also lets him use his usb3 flash drive at the same time. Throughput to one box at a time runs about 300-380mbps sustained throughput for a transfer cue of 100gb-1tb of files. It enables me to use hard... Read More

This hub is small and compact, very lightweight. The cable is durable and adequately flexible. It's very light and portable.
