StarTech 4 Port USB-C Hub - Mini Hub - USB-C to 4x USB-A - USB 2.0

This device gives you USB 2.0 ports for legacy devices that required 2.0 and don't like "backwards compatible" 3.x ports.

Convert USB C port to USB A

4-Port USB-C hub mini hub to 4 * USB-A works well if you are trying to use usb A devices BUT they are only USB 2.0 so if you are going to use this for transferring data please try to find another way.As with any Startech.com device I have used this did not disappoint as it worked as described.I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

I have been using it for a while now, I just connect 1 sensor to it for my Oculus Rift and as of current, I have no issues with it. As for investigating why it is still 3.0, I did not even bother with it anymore. I saw that manufacturer tried to contact me, but I did not even notice this in my Home Essentials Direct account. Overall, it might be incompatibility issues since the manufacturer did state that it was 3.1 Gen 2 and they have tested. But I'l just trust their word for it. So I am redacting my old review and increasing it to 4 stars Old Review: It was stated that it is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 and explicitly stating here on Home Essentials Direct and on their website spec sheet that is capable of 10gbps which is 3.1 gen 2 speed. But upon investigating and doing some ... MoreI have been using it for a while now, I just connect 1 sensor to it for my Oculus Rift and as of current, I have no issues with it.

But upon investigating and doing some test, I could not pass the 5gbps. As one of the other reviewers here, he had the same results. I have rummaged through device manager and guess what, it was a 3.0 hub. If it was advertised truthfully, stating that it was 3.0, I would give it a 5 out 5 on overall rating. A little bit expensive but all the materials looks high quality. And if they were to actually have it run 3.1 gen 2 speed and that is just icing on the cake. Unfortunately that is not the case. Severely dissatisfied. My other rig which has 3.1 gen 2 USB expansion powers my 3 Oculus sensors flawlessly.

I will not bash Startech. They make some pretty kick A$$ stuff, good bit of it I have. However, lately I have noticed some things related to some of the new products that have me concerned that they are slipping into the “made in China” mold... this type C unit is a good example of that. It functions as it should, but for what the cost is I thought it would have a metal body. This is ABS plastic. A rigid type C cable will cause it to flip over... also it needs a way to power the hub so that you can run ext HDDs from it. If there’s only one type C port on your machine, you will be selling yourself short if you plan on running more than SSD and thumb drives on this splitter/hub. Also if the body had an option of a removable cable with a type A female socket, it would ... MoreI will not bash Startech. They make some pretty kick A$$ stuff, good bit of it I have.

Personally I hate the “type C” connectors’ design, too dainty for my taste, and are easily made loose killing the connection... plus on having those on the actual unit. Seems almost like this was made to give 4 USB 3.1 Gen 1 low voltage devices all maximum data I/O,

Mac Studio M1 only comes with 2 Type-A USB ports on the back. This adds an additional 4 without having to buy A-to-C adapters for all your legacy devices. And my experience with StarTech is that it is built with quality and made to last (instead of all the other no-name junk adapters that fail in 6months to a year)

Not Compatible

Trying to return this item, not compatible with my computer. Read product description carefully, is not clear.

Plugged into Motherboard ( X470/Ryzen 2700X ) USB-C port , all 4 USB-A ports test at 459.1 MB/s Read and 453.1 MB/s Write with a Samsung 860 EVO 500GB mounted in a Vantec NexStar USB 3.1 Gen 2 external enclosure ( NST-270A31-BK ). Thats ALMOST what the drive gets hooked up directly to a SATA III port, and in an actual transfer...I transferred a 45GB folder of 4K and 1080P movies that was on the drive...to the 1TB NVMe boot drive on the motherboard. It transferred at 405 MB/s for the entire transfer, no buffer shenanigans...just straight raw speed for the entire transfer. Awesome little hub here !!!

Randomly Disconnects

This item is no good. It fails to make a good connection with the USB-C connector in the computer, so it disconnects at random times.

Works with my new iMac

The new iMacs have Thunder Bolt so I couldn't hook up my printers. I went to the Apple store to see what I needed and this StarTech hub is what was suggested. It came faster than I expected and I can print again.

perfect

My cat broke my Apple USB port and this has filled the bill perfectly.
