Works with Samsung Tab s4

external USB SSD connected to my tablet as a controller. One limitation I found with this device is that the included wall adapter for my s4 tablet is not able to deliver enough power through this device to keep my tablet charged. After upgrading to a more powerful wall box [ B079P11LBV ], I was able to charge my tablet and also power this device. I believe it has something to do with the power consumption of the device itself, which is to be expected for any multiport device. If only I had to make this product better. (a) Built-in USBc cable would be a little longer. When I connected it to my tablet, it hung crooked, and I'm afraid that this might damage the tablet's connector after long-term use (b). I'd like to see either more modern technology (more USB 3.0 or UHS-ii) or just adapters for smaller devices (no space for USB 2.0). **Full Disclosure: This is an updated summary. ** When I originally bought this device it was advertised with 3 USB 3.0 ports so I returned it shortly after initial testing. Innolife contacted me and corrected the product listing to show the correct information. I appreciate the fact that they took the time to contact me via email. Unfortunately I wanted something with multiple USB 3.0's (at least 2) and after careful consideration it was important to have both VGA and a 4k HDMI option.
