The price is not that low simply that way. The good first: 1) Easy connection with Thunderbolt 2) Connected devices recognized almost instantly 3) Ability to seamlessly connect external drives that require power or no power 4) Works to charge devices like headphones when the laptop is powered off. bad1) Probably 10 GB/s. I have one such device and when connected directly via Thunderbolt I get close to the advertised speed of a PCI NVMe 3x4 SSD.

Later that day I plugged in a good cable and it started behaving the same way. Plug the cable into the direct port of the laptop and the cable will work fine.
