Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Data Hub, Ultra-Slim 5Gbps USB-C OTG Hub with 20 cm Extended Cable, For MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac mini, iMac, Surface Pro, XPS, PC, Flash Drive, Mobile HDD (Charging Not Supported)

Nice and simple piece of kit that works as intended and looks well made.

I purchased one of these for a new Mac Mini which only has USB-C and Thunderbolt ports. It's small and light and (like all my Anker purchases so far) it's good quality.I have read of people having problems with power-consuming USB devices such as external hard drives, particularly when plugged into a USB-A hub plugged into a rear port on the Mac. This one is NOT a powered hub, and NOT a charging device, so it's a matter of reading all the specs carefully before deciding if it meets your needs. One unfortunate consequence of a standardised connector for devices with different power capabilities.

Needed some extra front IO usb ports but not some slow 2.0 or standard 3.0. ideally I wanted maybe 8 ports but this Anker one was the best I could find for my budget.It's been plugged into the USB C thunderbolt port on my front IO so can handle the hubs 5GBPS transfer speed; infact the hub is now the bottleneck as that USB C port can do up to 20GBPS.I mounted it with double sized tape, no sticky pad or mounting options were provided with the hub but that's fine, onto the front of my PC where it's easily accessible and removable if needed. The cable is a bit too long but I'd rather it was too long than too short.So far, works a charm and I'm able to use it to avoid having to crawl on my hands and knees under my desk to the back of my PC just to plug my USB mouse dongle (which I often unplug and use with a laptop elsewhere) into the faster USB port so it has no input lag. Now, I can just plug it in here along with my USB drives and Xbox controller when it's needed.I can recommend grabbing one of these If you're in need of more high speed front IO usb ports like I was. It works great :)

Nice and stable as I had concerns about power. No issues seen. Recommended. Also fast as I haven't seen any throttling when transferring files.

Decent price and quality, I trust Anker gear too.

There is little to add to the item description other than that it is as described and works well for connecting my legacy USB-A drives and peripherals to the USB-C port on an M4 Mac mini. I have quite a few items from Anker over the years now and it is a bit of a default option for me now for ancillary computer cables, ports and things like ear buds. I've never had a problem with them and they always have a premium-but-not-unduely-expensive feel to them. This item follows that pattern.

Works, very handy and easy to store/transport since it’s small and light

Great product. Lead shorter than desired.
