Aceele USB Hub 3.2 Gen 2 with 4 USB-A Ports and Type C Power Port, 10Gbps USB C Splitter with 3.3Ft Long Cable, High Speed USB Extension for Laptop, Macbook Pro/Air, iPad Pro/Air, XPS, HP and More

After ordering a couple of adapters in attempt to add a third screen via usb c port, I discovered that not all usb cs are the same, and this one worked for my laptop. I can now use three screens for my work!

Using this with an M1 Mac mini (2020).Previously, not having enough connectivity led me to buy a couple of USB-C hubs (one SSK B093247D2N which has 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A and another no name which has 4 USB-C).Despite getting the required extra connectivity, I found drives and devices dropping offline - seemingly randomly.For example, Time Machine drives would work but be offline next time I looked. Quite obviously, it wasn’t that there was anything wrong with the actual drives.Did some reading around and realised it was likely power delivery to the hubs and devices. I did get a particular arrangement of drives (and other devices) and socket usage that worked but if ever I changed anything, I was likely to have to go through multiple permutations before I found a combination that would continue to work.Reading around the internet, it appeared that there might be an issue with power available at each USB socket.Decided to get a powered USB-C hub. But even that wasn’t straightforward as I wanted one without fancy things like Ethernet or HDMI or card reader capability. Just dead simple - power to the USB-C sockets. Already have multiple USB-C charger/power supplies.Set this Aceele device up and it has now worked flawlessly for about a week. Not long to be sure, but not a single disconnection.Have now also connected the other USB hubs to this Aceele device in a cascade - and everything I have tried so far works just fine. Including a new Time Machine SSD drive.I’ve done absolutely nothing to test or check speeds. They don’t really matter to me. I have a simple set up and, so long as when I do something it doesn’t appear to take long, I am happy. I’d notice if anything were really slow but probably not any difference between 5 and 10 GB.The relatively long cable is very much appreciated. Avoids having to fiddle around right behind the computer except when plugging it in. My other USB-C hubs have something like 10cm cables which are terribly short.

As advertised. 🫡

I was looking for something with a long cord for the USB port, so I have not lost out on this product.

Bought to expand my USB C inputs. Horrible thing. Won't connect reliably to HDDs, constantly disconnecting from phone. Transfer speed in a brief moment of functionality was 20mbs. My very old Inateck hub is giving 280mbs now I have found an adaptor for it. One of the worst things I have ever bought.

Aceele 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub (120cm lead)After plugging in the Aceele 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub to my Windows 10 PC, it was recognised immediately. I tried a couple of different memory sticks, one has music and video on and the other has some stand-alone apps. Both of these also popped up fast. Videos played smoothly without glitches and the apps loaded fast and ran without problems.I connected an external SSD drive first direct to the USB port on the PC then via the Aceele 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub to compare transfer speeds of some large files. I am pleased to say there was no discernible difference in the speed between direct connection or through the USB hub.After trying the Aceele 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub on the Windows 10 machine I tried the same sort of tests using my Macbook Pro. Results were very similar maybe even a little faster but that may be due to the more integrated nature of the Macbook.I have other USB 3 Hubs and I initially bought this because, unlike many others, it is available with a reasonably long lead. Meaning I would no longer have to clamber around the back of my PC when I need to plug in a USB 3 device. If anything I was expecting a bit of a speed penalty because of the longer lead but it performs as well as the USB hubs with a short lead.I would certainly recommend the Aceele 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub with the 120cm lead, especially if like me, your USB socket is around the back of the machine.

A very compact little usb hub. Pass through works well. External hard drives run at full speed without transfer errors. External nvme drives in a caddy are not always recognised first time but work well once recognised, usually have to reboot twice for them to be seen.

There are not too many options for just a 4 port USB-C hub. This being powered makes it the best choice i could find in all my searching.Works great to extend the ports on my mac M1 Mini 2020. As one of the 2 USB ports is tied for 2nd monitor I found this the best option as a full USB-C dock with HDMI seemed a bit overkill for me.
