Interferes with any WiFi signal.

DO NOT BUY! I got it from an airport shop and although it connects and works fine if you plan on using Wi-Fi with it, it will completely jam any Wi-Fi and you won't be able to connect. Which defeats the whole purpose of downloading files when you can't connect to WiFi. I plan to return this on the way home. Terrible.

Pros
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
Cons
  • Empty

Best transfer speed and light weight

This USB hub is designed for my MacBookPro. Finding a lightweight little hub was important - here it is. Also, I compared the transfer speed to several other hubs I have and this one is the fastest. All this at a great price.

Pros
  • Super Speed USB 3.0 up to 5Gbps
Cons
  • Weak Set

*** Read the specifications carefully *** Does not work as advertised.

I bought this item because I have a Macbook with only one USB-C port. This causes a problem when I want to use the peripheral device for a long time, since I cannot connect the power cord and the device at the same time. The last line of the description of this item states that it powers your laptop along with other devices; THIS IS NOT TRUE, there are no charges for your laptop, only external devices connected to the hub. For this reason the article gets 1 star. If I later find out it's my…

Pros
  • Hot Swap: connect and disconnect devices without shutting down the computer
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

MacBook 2013+ loses WiFi with this product

I would like to give this hub a higher rating, I just can't. My wife bought a MacBookPro in late 2016 and received it just before Christmas. I bought this hub as a backup but gave it to her beforehand so she could hook up her computer and accessories. Unfortunately, she tried all 4 USB-C ports, and while the devices synced properly, she lost wifi every time. After checking Apple's support pages, it was discovered that many of these hubs emit RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), which disrupts…

Pros
  • Requirements: USB 3.1 Type-C connector. Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10. Mac OS X 10.6+
Cons
