Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Cable Matters 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 Multiport Hub: USB-SATA, USB C, UHS-II Card Reader by Daniel Shivashankar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

SD card I/O was finicky for me on the six foot USB 3 extension end

I use this for SD card reading and writing, photos and moving an 8GB file - it is the fastest way to deal with a large digital diary file and a computer that doesn't have fast ports. I've had good results powering a couple of SATA drives with this unit on the end of a six foot USB 3 extension (Revain Basics) and using the included external power supply. However, reading the camera card routinely became problematic - the connection to the Win 10 computer would crash when loading multiple images with or without external power. However, it works well when plugged directly into a USB 3 port on a computer. This is a new machine Asus Strix B450-F AM4, Ryzen 5-3600. On the back of the USB 3.1 board

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
  • Very expensive
