Nothing complicated, I won't explain, it's a USB-C hub with built-in SSD. I have another Anker Hub that has been working flawlessly for over a year and lives in my phone pocket. I had high hopes that this hub would work well too, and the typical anchor does. Each hub port works exactly as you would expect and works well. I don't have a 4k monitor to test with, but it does an excellent job with my 2k display. An SSD is a treat, it works exactly like a memory card or flash drive would plug into a hub, show up in your file manager or search engine, and work without any special drivers. It's pretty fast, I haven't measured the speed, but I've done a lot of high-resolution photo transfers and it's pretty fast, so no complaints. For the price, this is good value. I've used it on my Surface Pro, ChromeOS device, Mac and even my mirrorless camera. Being able to upload pictures from my camera so easily is a joy when shooting on location. Great little device.
