Review on StarTech Com 4 Port USB Hub USB by Vincent Lott

later. This hub works as a pure USB hub. The Revain website mentioned (at the time of my order) that it was an Ethernet hub and Thunderbolt: both are misleading and wrong. The only idea similar to Thunderbolt 3 is the shape of the ports. Of course, you can't build on that. After talking to StarTech support (a company is only as good as its support, here five stars!) it was clear that this wouldn't work for me. Since I wanted to use it with Thunderbolt (iMac: Apple 3<>2 adapter), it failed 100%. No data was received in this configuration. So I sent it back due to incorrect information. For a laptop, this would be a good option. However, when used as a USB3.1/C Gen2 hub, it excels. I tested it with an SSD on a MacBookPro and each time (with or without a hub) the results were around 800MB/s. (SanDisk 1GB/s SSD). The hub doesn't slow anything down.
