VIENON Aluminum USB C & USB Hub 7-in-1 with USB 3.0, USB-C Ports for PC/Laptops/MacBook Pro/Air/iMac/iPad and More Devices

I finally installed the USB Hub but found some kind of problem with the USB 3.0 ports. The USB device plug won't go all the way into the hub? I'm not sure why, I tried USB 3.0 devices as well as some USB 2.0 and found they don't want to work most of the time. Some will work for a time, then disconnect without my doing anything. I really wanted to connect my external disk using them but for now I have them on a 2.0 hub.

Works amazing, multitasking use, fits anywhere

Although this claims to be a USB3.x hub, plugging a USB3.2 device into it (see photo) showed up on a USB2 part of the tree, yielding terrible read/write speeds of about 40MB/s, whereas plugging the same drive (a Samsung T7 Shield) directly into the computer yielded speeds almost 40x faster. It gets worse. On one of the two units I bought, the USB-c ports stopped working altogether after about a month (the photo is of the second one I had purchased as an extra. You can see the first one in the background). It gets worse, still. There seems to be some strange interaction between the ports. If I plugged just one device into the hub, I could see the device. If I plugged in 2 or 3 (especially if they were a combination of the USB-c and USB-a ports), some devices wouldn't show up. It gets even worse. I had a Sabrent Rocket XTRM 2TB drive plugged into it along with a couple of other external SSD and thumb drives, and the device started resetting a few times per minute (with the devices showing up, then MacOS complaining that the volumes were removed without properly ejecting, then they'd show up, then removed, etc., until, eventually, the APFS tables on the SSD got corrupted, and I lost all of the data from it. I've learned my lesson. No more buying cheap, no-name components for my data storage.

Travel must have! This is just a simple way of charging small electronics in one place. Some hotels have few outlets, this solves the problem and prevents electronics from being left behind on travel days. USB-C is a plus!.

For the most part this hub is great, but after a couple of weeks, one of the USB ports stopped working. I could have returned it, but the window has already closed and I never snagged it from my office to do so. It is very lightweight and plugs in easily. I just wished all ports worked. Because of this, I have not overloaded it.

Multiports serve the purpose

Bueno

It works just as fine but the usbc port on the adapter does not seem to work.
