Review on πŸ”Œ Amazon Basics USB-C 3.1 Adapter: 4K HDMI, USB 3.0 Port, USB-C Port, 100W Power Delivery by Chad Gue

Blue screen when using a USB 3.0 port

The adapter is very well made and a nice weight. Video through the HDMI port worked great, and the PD port charged my Windows laptop with no issues. However, when I plugged the flash drive into a USB 3.0 port and ran native Windows 10 Disk Utility on it, my system crashed with a blue screen of death. It's slightly larger than the Belkin adapter I used, which only has PD and HDMI, which is great because I could actually use an extra USB 3.0 port without taking up much space. Unfortunately I can't get my system to freeze when trying to access USB drives. I can test it further when I have time to troubleshoot, but for now I have to resort to using my Belkin 2-port adapter.

  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Hard to remember, but it was
