Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

An extended 9. Micro cable to utilize the 4th port (usb-c) on this hub. This has four ports, three of which are usb-a. It adds 1 usb c and 3 usb a ports. You are not losing the usb-c port you use to hook it up to.

Works just like it should - splits out and expands your usb landscape. And, that makes this ultra convenient.

Using crystaldiskmark, results show no slowdown in hub vs i/o ports tests. Running 4 10tb usb hard drives from western digital and seagate. It, and the drive are very fast.

Packaging/appearance

    If you want gen210gbps throughput then the upstream connection must be a true gen210gbps port dont assume otherwise look for 10


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Most user issues are because the user does not understand the upstream port capabilities andor cables involved


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Dont assume that all upstream usbc pc ports or upstream hub ports are gen210gbps be certain
