Review on πŸ”Œ Wavlink 6-in-1 USB C Hub with HDMI 4K@30Hz, 2 USB 3.0 Ports, 100W PD Charging, SD/TF Card Reader | Compatible with MacBook Pro 2016+, MacBook Air 2018+, and Other Type C Devices by Robby Fingaw

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good design. Includes power and data cable. BUT does not reach the stated speeds.

I was impressed when I first set up this hub. It's smaller than comparable USB hubs, but has four data ports and a fast charge port. It looks good with my other peripherals. Additionally, it comes with a USB 3.0 data cable and power cord to provide devices with more power than is typically available from a computer port. Unfortunately, any USB devices connected to the hub's four data ports when connected to any of my computers - Windows, Mac, or Linux - only ever achieve USB 2.0 speeds. Advertised speeds in the Revain description and on the box say "up to 5Gbps", but my peak throughput with just one device connected was 262Mbps. this is typical of USB 2.0, not 3.0.

Pros
  • 4K UHD Display: HDMI V1.4 via USB3.1 (VESA Alternate Mode), support for video output max. resolution up to 4K@30Hz. Mirror or extend your screen perfectly.
Cons
  • Not sure
