Aceele 10Gbps USB C Hub with 4 USB 3.2 Ports (2 USB A & 2 USB C), USB 3.2 Gen 2 3.3ft USB Cable Extender Hub with Type-C Power Port,Compatible for MacBook Pro 2021, iPad Pro 2021 and Other PC

This works perfectly on my iMac so I don't have to reach around behind it every time I want to plug in my iPhone or a shared external CD player. It transfers video from my iPhone perfectly despite the warning stating that it doesn't handle video. It's exactly what I needed to bring those USB-C ports around front.

This is a perfect laptop 10gb hub. Lose 1 usb-c, but net gain of 1. Plus 2 standard usb-a 3.2, and 1 usb-c power charger, which should seldom be needed. Adding the small form factor is perfect. Got a free hub with the laptop, but it's only usb-c was a charger only, creating a big issue, consuming my only usb-c data port, leaving no usb-c port. Got a 2tb external ssd (also a good idea/buy). It plugs into the new hub as desired and I can use the other features (memory cards reader,usb-a ports) of the free hub as well, if ever needed, which I doubt. All have tiny footprints and I put velcro it on the back of the case for convenience, lid opened or closed.

2025 UPDATE: Power in no longer working with Samsung S23 Ultra. Not sure if hub just stopped working or if update caused the power charging to be incompatible. The ports seem to all be working so if you don't need power charging this gun might be acceptable.2024 UPDATE: Review for all USB C port hub. Initial test to make sure it's working was good. Worked fine with laptop. Didn't work well older Android phone (Samsung S21 Ultra) but worked fine with newer Samsung S23 Ultra phone. All ports worked fine and I was able to open and see files on my USB C flash drive and Samsung T7 SSD drive. Was able to connect charging cord to hub and that also worked with my phone.Having said all that, when it arrived the box was crushed and open with white plastic bag enclosing hub ripped open. There were no seals on the box. It made me wonder if this hub was used, but since it works fine I'm not that concerned. So far so good.ORIGINAL Review for USB C & USB A mixed ports: I just got this and tested it out. So far so good. It's lightweight so great for travel. I tried the charging feature out on an old phone so if it blew anything it wouldn't be anything valuable. Phone was fine so at the least the one I got is fine for charging and doesn't appear to have any defects though I haven't tested every single port yet. The ones I tested also seem to work fine and they're speedier than my older 3.1 USB hub. I'm wondering about the durability of this hub though, but time will tell. I debated over this hub and the one with all USB C ports. I don't use all USB C items yet though so went with this one. I will update this review if I have any issues.

I'm giving 5 stars even though this 4 port hub has some limitations. I think expectations need to be properly set is the key here This is a simple 4 port USB A 3.2 port splitter, I think calling it a hub implies something more robust than this device actually is No, you aren't going to be able to use this as a docking station, but it's not meant to be. It's a run of the mill port splitter that happens to also have a unique (to its size and price point) feature - a USB C port for no reason other than providing power to the device itself. Not to be confused with "PD/power delivery" or "passthrough" where you plug your laptop power supply into the hub, then the hub pssses through the power to the laptop thereby allowing the data and video functions to still be used from that laptop's USB C port that otherwise would have been monopolized by the power supply alone. This is not that. Okay now that we aren't comparing apples with oranges I'll tell you why I like this so much that I ended buying 4. This is a cheap and easy way to externally power your external SSDs. When I upgrade an NVMe SSD to a larger size in my PCs I keep the old one, then buy a *compatible* USB enclosure, pop it in and then it becomes a super fast and easily portable external drive. Also, no separate power supply is needed since SSDs need such little power the current from the USB connection is usually enough. Usually. If you're connecting to a desk top PC then you're golden, you're not going to need external power for USB attached SSDs *but* if you are using a laptop then it's a different story. Laptops are made to be as light and efficient as possible with most machines using 45w or 65w power supplies with performance models sometimes up to 90w. Compared to a desktop that's not a lot This means that USB power output from a laptop port is limited to what's left over after it takes what it needs to run. Usually, enough power left over to send out through the USB ports to supply the connected peripherals. These are typically low powered items like mouse, keyboard, and perhaps an external drive (CD/SSD/flash drive, etc.). But if you're like me and have like 4 or 5 mouse/keyboard dongles and 3 SSDs spread over 2 USB hubs all crammed into the only 2 USB ports on my laptop, then you're going to start having issues with keeping all the devices plus your laptop satiated with that finite amount of juice from those little 45w/65w/90w power supply. You're computer's performance will degrade noticably as it throttles itself to keep power usage down so that your periferals won't start doing weird stuff, if they work at all. You have a few options - 1) only keep one SSD plugged in at a time, which isn't practical, 2) get a proper, fully self-powered docking station with plenty of juice to feed everything simultaneously, but those are $$$ not cheap (some even costing as much or more than the laptop), or 3) buy a couple of these suckers. probably went overboard but I got one for each drive (and only a single drive per hub to essentially give them all of their own power supplies (and I have a 4th hub that I plug all my dongles into together since those are all such low power}. Since I've gone to this setup, my performance issues have gone away due to no more throttling, my mice/keyboards don't have erratic behavior and the speed of the USB SSDs have ncreased dramatically.*I would avoid using more than one drive per hub because for some reason, even when fully powered, both drives read/write speeds tank, although both are still usable no problem, just slow is all.

Since my laptop only has one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, I needed this hub to add ports to do some M.2 disk cloning. I liked the compact size and the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 spec. Unfortunately, when you plug a disk into the hub, you don't always get the USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 performance. At times, the system does not recognize the disk you plug in until you unplug the hub from the computer and plug it back in. When the disk is recognized by the computer, speed tests are erratic. I tested a 1 TB M.2 disk and got average read rates ranging from 41.5 MB/s to 988.3 MB/s. Plugged directly into the computer, I get 1.0 GB/s, which is what the disk is rated. The 4 USB-C ports are also sloppy. If you bump whatever is plugged into a port (a cable in my case) while plugging in another disk, you may lose connection, i.e. the disk is no longer recognized by the computer. I suppose if you are very, very careful, you could make this hub work for your purposes. For me though, its not worth the hassle.

Great product! Used on our iMac cause it only had 2 spots on the back. Much easier for plug in gadgets now. Works great.
