The media could not be loaded. As someone who’s gone through testing way too many hubs over the years, I finally found one that actually gives me both performance and reliability. It’s an absolute game-changer for my setup.If you who works with multiple peripherals daily or simply need an efficient way to manage devices without having to reach back behind your PC, this hub is an excellent investment. From build quality to functionality, it checks all the boxes and outperforms many other hubs I’ve used in the past. For me the main feature is actually lays flat on my desk and I can easily use it 😊This is more of an essay of the pain points other have had but short version is I’ve yet to find a better hub in this price range.Build Quality / Weight / FeelFirst thing I noticed when unboxing this hub was its premium build quality. Unlike many plastic hubs that feel lightweight and flimsy, this one has a sturdy aluminum housing that gives it a solid and durable feel and probably also help with heat dissipation, preventing the hub from overheating -- something I have def seen in othersAdditionally, the hub is compact but a good weight, making it easy to place on my desk without it shifting or sliding around. Some hubs are so lightweight that they move every time you plug in a device, but this one stays put, thanks to the rubber feet on the bottom that provide extra grip.Also, and I don’t know WHY others don’t do this, is the computer and power connections are on the same side (top). Others have them on opposite sides which for desktop use just makes my desk ugly as anything and it actually can ley flat very easily.ConnectivityThe main frustration I’ve had with other USB hubs is unreliable connection stability. Many cheaper hubs tend to randomly disconnect devices or throttle speeds, especially when multiple peripherals are plugged in. I’m happy to report that I’ve experienced none of those issues with this hub.Regardless if USB3 or 3.2 or however the naming work now, data transfer speeds were incredibly fast. I frequently transfer large files between my external SSDs and my computer, and this hub handles those transfers effortlessly. There’s no noticeable lag or drop in performance compared to directly connecting the devices to my computer’s built-in USB ports. And no backward compatibility issues with plain USB 2.0 devices .Main reliability comes drome a dedicated power adapter. Relying on the computer’s USB port for power often leads to instability, especially with using high-power devices like external hard drives or gaming controllers.I’ve connected multiple external hard drives, flash drives, keyboard, mouse and printer at the same time, and everything works flawlessly. There are no random disconnects or underpowered devices, which is a common issue with non-powered hubs.Lower-quality hubs is that the whole hub sometimes “reset” when too many devices are connected, leading to random disconnections of EVERYTHINg which is beyond frustrating especially when transferring files or trying to edit documents on drives. Thankfully, I’ve had no such problems with this hub. It still remains stable even when all ports are in use, months later, a testament to its solid engineering.Also of note a less common issue but still can be is general electronic interference, which can cause wireless mice or keyboards to lag. No noticeable interference here.On/Off PortsThe LED indicators for each port are also a nice tough, not too bright to be distracting but clear enough to let you know which ports are active.I love having individual buttons for turning ports on and off. This might seem like a small detail, but it’s incredibly useful for me and I dislike that other don’t’ have it. Mainly once I’m done with an external drive and I want to make sure it stays disconnected so instead of unplugging them, I can simply turn off their respective ports, which not only conserves power but maybe? reduces wear and tear on my drives. This feature is also useful for managing devices that I don’t always want active, such as a printer or a gaming controller.I also like these buttons on the side rather then in between where they are hard to get to. The buttons just FEEL good and are easy to press but slightly recessed so they are harder to press accidentally.You can see in the video how easily I can turn them on/off with barely moving my finger, but still have clear control on their stateSize / SpacingOther hubs suffer from poor port spacing. Some hubs cram the USB ports too closely together, making it difficult to plug in bulkier USB drives or devices with larger connectors. This hub, however, has just enough well-spaced ports that allow easy access without obstruction, but doesn’t end up gigantic.FeaturesHaving both USB-A and USB-C ports is a major plus. Many hubs still focus solely on A or C leaving dongle mess everywhere. I just want quick mix on my desk.Also the supported speed is clearly labeled for which ports give that.Also I’m a big fan of the actually attached USB C/A male option to the computer rather then a flimsy dongle that barely stays on, or lightly held on by tiny piece of rubber. It looks ugly, but its going on the back of my PC and I know its there when I need it. Far superior for a USB hub.So many people ask for a ‘quick good hub’ so im just writing my response here so I can copy/paste in future.For Gamers: Easily connect different gaming peripherals / controllers and headsets without worrying about limited USB ports.For Creators & Office work: Seamlessly manage external hard / flash drives, microphones, webcams, and anything else (that Ive tried).For General Users: Keep all your essential devices, such as printers, keyboards, and storage devices, connected in an organized manner. Or get 2 and have one on your desk handy and one behind the PC for the stuff youll generally leave connectedComplaintsWhile this hub is fantastic, there’s always room for improvement.1) USB length is a little shorter then I would like, but I know its harder to go longer at high speeds. That said is the longest by far offered by any ‘premium’ hub in this price range so it’s still a win. (Power length is fine in my opinion)2) Non swappable USB cable isn’t fun to see.3) Would rather see a USB-C power then generic barrel plug, but I can understand they don’t want people complaining about using their own not good charger.4) Some sort of locking on the barrel plug would be nice, not that I’ve had it got pulled out but I can see that being an issue for some usages.5) I would also rather another design then a wall wart.6) USB-C looks a bit recessed but I haven’t had any issues with my devices and cables7) More ports!!! I mean can you ever have enough?These are all beyond minor things, especially if it’s just sitting at a desk but hey that’s why we write these things up.Bottom line: Highly Recommended After using this hub extensively for months, I can confidently say that it’s one of the best powered USB hubs on the market (that I have found). I’m just so excited to have finely found one that eliminated all random disconnects, power limitations, poor build quality of others, give me high-speed, and the stuff listed, and actually looks normal on my desk without having cables coming off opposite ends, AND is a normal price.If you’re in need of a reliable and well-constructed USB hub that offers both convenience and performance, that you want to just plop on your desk and have work this is an excellent choice. I’ve tried too many hubs that I just want people to know this one seems to bloody ‘just work’.

So far this is exactly what I need. A USB C and A hub, powered (by a separate 24 Watt (12 v/2 amp) cord/plug into your surge protector/outlet), or un-powered (depending on the needs of your peripherals). Each USB outlet has an independent on/off switch and a light to let you know if it is on or off. and the plug into the computer is Dual USB A or C, with the dongle attached (so I can't loose it; and the cord is long enough that I can place it where needed. I have a webcam, speaker, 2 different mice (I switch back and forth for ergonomics) and a keyboard plugged into this hub - and I haven't yet needed the power yet. I am using it is Thunderbolt 4 USBC port on my computer (it says compatible with Thunderbolt 3, but 4 is backwards compatible), haven't tried it from a regular USB A port in my computer to see if there is any difference. This replaces a non-powered, plastic, 4 USB A hub with a very short cord. This hub has a metal exterior, is a tad heavier, but far more substantial, without being heavy. I hope it holds up and keeps working - got it on sale Prime Day about $5 off. It has 2 USB C (3.2 - 10 GPS) ports, One UBS A (3.2 - 10 GPS) ports, clearly marked. and 4 USB A (3.0 - 5GPS) ports

These days, with so many of us using laptops instead of desk top computers, there is a definite lack of USB ports! This unit solves that problem wonderfully. I can charge up to 7 different devices, and/or use the ports to plug in accessories. And I don't even need to have the computer on while charging these devices. With an external keyboard, a thumb drive or two, perhaps my wireless earbuds that need charging, I always have several different devices plugged in! And the convenience of being able to plug this in to either a USB-C or USB-A port on the laptop is great. I don't know how I got along without it. And having the push button switches on the side to turn on or off the power to each individual port is very convenient as well.

Nice Compact Powered USB C hub. Two ways to connect the source to the computer, either with a USB-C or with the adapter which makes it a old school USB-A. The input cable (which goes to the computer), is directly attached to the hub, for a vast majority of folks, it is not a big deal, all it means is if you need longer cable, add an extension at the other end...The power adapter is the switching kind, small and light weight.Individual on/off switches are a nice... reduces idle draw. Has both USB-C and USB-A ports . good combo,Tried checking performance with a SD card reader... didn't see much difference with the reader directly on the desktop port vs on this hub... granted... the Hub had only the reader in use at that time. I expect some degradation when there are multiple data hogs plugged in to the hub.Only cons I can think of is... the power chord from the adapter is a bit short, so is the USB cable going to the source computer.. In a normal desk, it is not an issue at all, in my case, with a sit/stand desk, and the desk raised... I had to play with the routing to get optimal reach.
