This is a handy item to provide extra USB ports to a system or laptop that does not have enough ports to allow other USB devices to be plugged in. Works great and zero issues with anything I have plugged into this Hub. If you are in need of extra USB ports, this is what you need.

Quality product. Build quality is excellent, feels nice and sturdy. Does exactly as intended.

This USB Hub is well made. It is versatile to use. The metal housing keeps the Hub upright when several devices are plugged into it. This USB Hub is a good value for the money. Recommended.

I did see this issue listed in other reviews, but I (wasn't) sure if this is a known issue by the MFN, or if I just have a buggy product. Waiting on feedback from MFN, but I feel like this should be a clearly documented issue so people buying this can make a decision whether this (what should be considered) not a requirement to use (every time).

Looks cool, all outlets do not function at all..I would venture to say it's garbage quality.. They should be embarrassed selling such a substandard product!!!

I bought this for my PlayStation 4 as the unpowered USB hub I have suddenly seemed to be causing my Sony Gold headset to drop the mic (randomly setting it to "Input: None") infuriatingly frequently. I had this set up for a while, and it worked fine, but then suddenly caused any bluetooth headset to drop mic or the connection entirely at what seemed to be entirely random intervals. The only way to fix this was to reconnect through the main settings menu, which was really not very feasible in the middle of a battle, sometimes several times a minute. I am really, really, really hoping this fixes that issues with a little power to even out the connection or what have you.I really like this little hub, it looks sleek, it has some substance, and feels well made. It sits nicer than my other bare bones hub, and the way the ports are lined up fit various dongles and other USB cords and devices a lot easier/neater than long ways. I've never had one this fancy before, but I really like the on/off buttons as well, as I have an additional USB dongle for another headset I want to keep plugged in but off unless needed so that it doesn't interfere with my other headset/peripherals, without having to fuss or worry with removing it frequently. The ports also light up when on, which is a very nice feature. The power cord is *just* long enough to reach my outlet strip, and the USB cord connected to the PS4 is nice and thick, and a little too long for my purposes as I keep it right next to the PS4, but the length is probably perfect for most applications. It's easy enough to wrap and tuck away so that the hub is more or less freestanding and looks nice.So far I am using three of the ports, two regular ones for the two headset dongles and the one quick charge port for the controller. I'm not sure if it really needs the QC port, but it's the only thing that needs a charge so I used it.I haven't tried the external hard drive in it. Usually the PS4 demands that the external HD be connected directly to the system, so I have that in the left USB port, and the hub in the right one. If it wasn't for the HD, I would not need the hub, but hopefully this is a good work around.This hub can be used powered or not, though some USB devices need that little extra juice to boost the transfer rate or other such issues. I would assume you would need the power supply if you intend on fully using the fast charging port as well, and possibly to charge anything through the hub (I believe you can normal charge with the other ports, but don't quote me on that!) Either way, one port for charging is perfect for my needs at this time, so I don't/won't notice if the others can charge at all or not.I have not tried this with a computer, but I assume with the data transfer USB cord that it would work very well. You may need more QC charging ports if you have it hooked up to a computer, but I know a lot of external HDs need a little extra juice to keep a good transfer connection, so the powered option would be great for that.I turned my headset on last night after connecting the hub, and it seemed to keep the mic connection all night. Granted, I was not using the mic and just had YouTube on, so there was no real tax on the system, and once a more heavily network draining game is in play it might cause the same issues as before.I will really get to test out the connection issue tomorrow night in my game where the mic is really used heavily, and will come back to report whether or not it fixed my headset issues with the PS4. So far this hub is perfect otherwise, and I really hope it can be 100% successful for what I need it to do.

Kind of a bummer, this refuses to work on a USB 3.2 2x2 type-C 20Gbs port. It will only work on a 3.2 2x1 type-A 10Gbs port. This is fairly annoying, as my laptop doesn't have any type A ports and it's using the last one available on my main desktop. It's primarily used for my desktop, but this is a major hassle.I've tried 2 known good cables, one is a 3.2 2x2 20Gbs cable, the other is a USB4 40Gbs cable; neither work, nor does the cable supplied in the box. Super annoying. Maybe it's defective, all USB is (supposed to be) backwards compatible. Might have to return this.Update 12/5/23:Returned previous hub and received a replacement the next morning. Good job Amazon!This one does connect to Thunderbolt 3/USB3 gen 2x2 20Gbs type-C ports after unplugging the hub's power cable and plugging it back it, 2 or 3 times (sigh). Same issue with Thunderbolt 4/USB4 40Gbs ports. Resume from sleep does not work, though; the hub ports stay asleep, even with power cycling. The host USB ports are set to allow resume from sleep in the OS and BIOS, and function properly on all the other hubs I have laying around.Tried using known good 10Gbs, 20Gbs and 40Gbs cables, including the one they provide in the box, and my shiny, new Apple type-C cable that came with the 15 Pro Max.So, 5 cables, a Macbook Pro with Thunderbolt 3 and a X670E based PC with built in USB 3.2 gen 2x2 20Gps ports and a 40Gbs Thunderbolt4/USB4 card and another Z690 based PC with Thunderbolt4/USB4 ports.My Thunderbolt attached monitor and Kingston XS2000 external SSD work flawlessly on these ports, so I doubt it's on my end.I also retested an older USB 3.1 5Gbs hub with a Type-C host port using all these cables and it works fine with both PCs and the Macbook. Resume works, too.Strangely enough, plugging the hub into a Type-A USB 3.2 gen2 2x1 10Gpbs port (single lane), it has no problems with connectivity or resume. Also tried hosting my iPhone 15 Pro Max to the hub, which has a Type-C USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbs port (probably 2x1 single lane?), and it worked with a mouse, keyboard and various USB thumb drives.Serious weirdness with this hub; doesn't seem to play nice with 2 lane type C ports of any kind. Perhaps they had a bad batch of these things, or maybe it is not really a fully USB compliant device. I'm assuming it's the later. Either way, it's a disappointment.Their product description clearly states it should work:"【2-in-1 Cable】This powered USB c hub includes a 3.3-foot USB-A/USB-C cable, giving you plenty of length to position it wherever you need. The dual USB adapter is compatible with USB-A/USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 devices, such as M1 Mac mini, MacBook, iMac, XPS, Surface Pro and more. Additionally, the powered USB hub 3.0 with ac adapter works seamlessly with Windows 7 through 11, macOS, Linux and other operating systems"Thunderbolt 3 uses 2 lanes, so it should be compatible with 2 lane TB/USB ports.Reducing to 1 star and returning this for a refund.Too bad it's so hard to find a good quality 10Gbs hub that has Type-C upstream and downstream ports.

Update: They reached out and replaced the unit with a smaller unit. I'm not sure if that unit works, because I already purchased another unit. But, at least they tried to make the solution work and were diligent in following up. So, they are at least a company that makes sense to do business with!Original ReviewI tried this on a OWC Thunderbolt Dock. I had a problem where it would deliver power to my iPhone and iPad, but my iPad wouldn't connect to them. I thought it was the unit, so I returned the unit. Got a second one. It didn't work either. So, I then, spent almost $400 on a pluggable Thunderbolt dock. Tried again. Still didn't work. Tried on another Mac. It still didn't work.So, I returned it. Went to Best Buy and bought a CHEAP USB 3.0 hub. Plugged everything in and it worked fine.Build quality was good. But, there's something with Docks and this that are just not compatible on Macs. So, beware.
