Provides 4 USB 3 ports, uses one. Use an external power source when connecting a hard drive or solid-state drive.

The stand and screws provided are not normal 2.5mm so I used my own standoffs, nuts (actually used as washers) and screws used for assembly. Once installed, it worked fine with low power devices (keyboard, mouse), but didn't provide enough power to the SSD in the USB enclosure. Connecting an external power supply to the USB-C port solved this problem, so the PI4 now has 2 power supplies. A power supply with two USB-C ports reduces the number of connected devices, but still leaves the PI with two power cables attached.

Pros

4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports compatible with USB 3.0/2.0/1.1

Cons

Not the best
