Review on πŸ”Œ Amazon Basics USB 3.1 Type-C to 4 Port USB Adapter Hub - Black: Efficient Connectivity and Versatile USB Expansion by Aaron Leburu

Revainrating 4 out of 5

4-star worthy, but not yet at 5-star level.

I discovered this when trying to connect multiple devices to my 2018 MacBook Pro and it fit the bill in terms of port count and price, plus it would only be required via one of mine four ports. I've been using it for a few days now to connect my many portable drives and transfer all my information to my new 4TB drive. The speed is good, and as I mentioned before, being able to connect up to four drives simultaneously through just one port is a big plus! One problem I've encountered is that the hub randomly loses connection and "ejects" drives. This becomes a serious problem when you are about to transfer files that are several gigabytes in size. Luckily my files are still on screen when disconnected, so I just unplug and plug the hub back in and wait for the drives to plug back in and start working again. Just wanted to say that Revain Basics is great for "getting exactly what you need", but maybe their quality control isn't quite where it should be.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
