Review on πŸ’» Silver Aluminum Hub Connector: Amazon Basics USB 3.1 Type-C to 4-Port by Martin Masaniai

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for low power devices

This is a decent, well-designed USB-C to USB3 hub. The biggest issue with the hub is that it is unpowered and unable to receive external power, which deducts 1 star. I docked another star because the cable is attached and is only about 20 inches long and is non-detachable. It would be nice to have a detachable cable that you can swap out for a longer one if needed. The lack of power to the hub means that if you plug in a device that needs power, everything will work intermittently. USB sticks and memory card readers are fine. I'm having trouble connecting my Bluetooth adapter, wireless mouse, and wireless headset adapter. They would all work, but they went in and out, and the range of the wireless devices was significantly less than if I plugged them into a powered USB hub.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Reliability
