Review on πŸ’ͺ Juiced Systems VertexHUB: Next-Gen USB-C 10 Gbps Data and Power Hub - USB 3.2 Gen 2 Compatible by Mike Meyers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The only one I could find ok not so good

Firstly it was the only hub I could find with these ports. I needed 2+ USB A and C ports at 10G with a power adapter. I've been looking for a week and this is all I found. Well built although it's a bit odd that the ports aren't all on the same side of the device. When I used the included USB-CA cable to connect to my computer, my external drives ran at half speed, but when I used a different AC cable they worked fine, so I'm not sure what's wrong with this cable. The included C to C seems good. Unfortunately, when I have 2 external bus-powered hard drives connected (with hub power enabled), sometimes the drives can turn off randomly under heavy load. It's not perfect, but it's only happened a few times. General usage seems fine and speeds are blistering, but I've been transcoding large files and it's definitely been a bummer. Overall this is my only option so can't really complain. Paid $70, wish it was $20 cheaper. EDIT 8/19 After lots of testing, I've found this thing to be interfering with my entire USB system on my PC. Drives connected to this AND directly to my motherboard are randomly disconnected and then reconnected one at a time. For a person who uses a lot of external drives for work, this is a deal breaker. I even bought a new motherboard thinking the problem was a broken driver! STAY AWAY!
