Using a hub to plug and unplug devices in sometimes dozens of times a day helps reduce wear on the onboard port on the workstation itself.

Price


This one was reasonably priced ($40) when i wrote this.


While not inexpensive, this adapter does what you need it to do.

4 usb expansion ports plus usb c charging (power delivery).

    Read this first – at the time i posted this startech had at least 14 different models listed here some of which could be ordered in several different configurations


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have several external high capacity storage devices that i use for different clients and projects and in addition to those components that usually stay connected to my workstation all the time those storage devices are constantly being plugged in and unplugged


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Because it is designed to stay plugged in to my c port i don’t lose use of that port because the hub replicates all of the same functionality with an identical port


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Hubs are cheap and can easily be replaced


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For most applications like with a laptop that should be fine but the way i use it i would have liked for the cable to be just an inch or so longer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Using the hub as compared to directly plugging in to the workstation is basically transparent for all practical purposes it has no effect on system efficiency
