Disappointing USB Hub for Computers

As my tests showed, this hub didnt improve my networking speed at all. The one advantage is that it's compact and easy to bring ON the go .However the lack of noticeable improvement in my computer's performance outweighs that benefit. Overall, I would not recommend this product for those looking to enhance their networking capabilities..

Pros
  • High-speed data transfer between devices
Cons
  • Requires compatible devices with USB 3 capabilities

Total Networking Nightmare!

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice with computers, I had high hopes for this USB 3 Networking product.

Pros
  • Fast data transfer speeds for networking
Cons
  • Compatibility limited to devices with USB 3 ports

Provides 4 USB 3 ports, uses one. Use an external power source when connecting a hard drive or solid-state drive.

Connecting an external power supply to the USB-C port solved this problem, so the PI4 now has 2 power supplies. A power supply with two USB-C ports reduces the number of connected devices, but still leaves the PI with…

Pros
  • 4 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports compatible with USB 3.0/2.0/1.1
Cons
  • Not the best
