StarTech 4 -port USB-C Hub 10Gbps - 3x USB-A & 1x USB-C

I've had this hub for a week and it is a relief to have such a good, organizing product. The Hub saves me time plugging and unplugging numerous devices into my laptop. I have 2 SSDs, a printer and a scanner plugged into the hub at the office so when I return I now have only one device to plug into my laptop. The Hub!! Saves me fighting with numerous cables. Everything is neat, tidy, efficient & fast. Previously the printer & scanner seems to have some conflict when I plugged them into different USB ports. Now they are permanently in the same port on the hub and the only plug-in I make is from the hub to the laptop so no more conflict. I certainly recommend this product. It was good value and I've found no disadvantages to using it.

Decent quality, does the job as advertised, it gets a bit hot sometimes but nothing to worry about. Decent speeds, The cable could be better, it's a bit short. Verdict: overpriced but there is nothing else in the market if this is what you need.

Fast and Reliable peripheral dongle.

Works as advertised. Great little adapter with fast transfer speeds for data wrangling.

It is actually too lightweight for me and the power cord is way too short. When I connected my two SSD drives to it, they toppled it so I had to improvise ways to keep the drives and the hub from hanging by the cables. As far as speed, I'm not a "Techie" but they're plenty fast for me. I did attempt to use a 3.1 extension cable but that slowed my drives down to a crawl or caused one of them to not connect. I had to return that cable.

Item: StarTech.com 4 Port USB C Hub w/ 3x USB A & 1x USB C - SuperSpeed 10Gbps I have used this hub for a month with Gen2 10gbps USB3 to NVMe enclosures, Gen1 flash drives and with other simple mouse/keyboard devices, all with zero issues. This is not an externally powered hub, so don't expect to drive 4 high-powered device. 4 flash drives is fine. 4 NVMe SSDs, maybe not. Note the supplied upstream power. All output ports are Gen2/10gbps capable, even though the pastic in the port is blue, but labeling shows "10G" (nice). If you want Gen2/10gbps throughput, then the upstream connection must be a true Gen2/10gbps port (don't assume otherwise, look for "10"). I have also used the ST ext-powered hub as the upstream source and all worked well (but keep cable length ... MoreItem: StarTech.com 4 Port USB C Hub w/ 3x USB A & 1x USB C - SuperSpeed 10Gbps I have used this hub for a month with Gen2 10gbps USB3 to NVMe enclosures, Gen1 flash drives and with other simple mouse/keyboard devices, all with zero issues.

I have also used the ST ext-powered hub as the upstream source and all worked well (but keep cable length shorter when chaining like this). 3ft (1M) from PC to the powered hub and 3ft out ofnthis hub, did work - 6ft (2M) on either of those will probably not work (most 6ft Gen2 simply and sadly don't operate reliably at Gen2/10gbps speeds). Many Gen2 cables > 3ft have issues. Some Gen2 cables

Running 4 10TB USB hard drives from Western Digital and Seagate. Had to buy a USB-C to USB 3.1 Micro cable to utilize the 4th port (USB-C) on this hub. But through this hub I can write to at least 3 of the drives SIMULTANEOUSLY at their full potential write speed, with no slowdowns whatsoever. Not sure what the read limitations might be, but since I use these drives to backup 6K raw video that comes in on ultra-fast USB SSDs (attached to a separate 10Gbps USB port from the one the hub is plugged into) I'm quite happy.

StarTech model HB31C3A1CB. 3 x USB-A ports, 1 x USB-C ports. All ports are marked "10G" for 10Gbps USB 3.1 (gen 2.) Plugged in to my MacBook running OS X 10.14.6. No drivers needed, no warning messages. Direct plug-and-play. Plugged in one of my 500GB Samsung SSD drives (which itself uses a StarTech USB-C / 2.5" SATA data-power adapter cable.) In my initial testing of file transfer & access speeds, the StarTech 4-port USB 3.1 Gen 2 adapter allows full read/write speed. I am waiting on a few additional drives & USB-A adapter cables to arrive. After they do I will update this review with notes on the stability & speed of transfers between multiple drives attached to the StarTech 4-port USB adapter.

There doesn't seem to be much thought put behind the design of this product, and that doesn't serve customers well. First, the connecting cord is way too short. On many PCs, the USB-C port is at the rear of the box. The length of this cord barely clears enough distance to allow it to rest on the top of the case. I guess the product designers never actually used their product in real life. Secondly, the USB-C cord should have been removable and a second USB-C-to-USB-A cord should have been included. Many PCs only have a single USB-C port, but multiple USB-A Gen 3.2 ports. This product removes the USB-C port out of play, yet doesn't provide on in the actual hub. You'd think someone would use what they sell??

works very well

I replaced an older USB hub that locked up all the devices whenever a thumb drive was plugged in to it. This Startech has not locked down even once. Very satisfied.
