Docking Station for MacBook Pro Air, LIONWEI USB C Docking Station Dual Monitor, Dual HDMI Adapter Hub for Mac MacBook Pro with 2 HDMI, 3 USB 3.0, SD TF Card Reader and 100W PD USB C Charging Port

My old hub, though it was a powered hub, would periodically lose the connection with the external usb drives. This new hub here works great and keeps them connected. Has plenty of options and has modern usb 3 ports. I can also hook my iphone to it and i could not even hook up my iphone before to my pc but now i can because of the C port. This hub is perfect!

I think my favorite part of this is that I can turn off the ports I'm not using. This has more than enough of each type of port I needed, and the always on port on the end of it is kind of a bonus but also kind of in the way if you are trying to mount this in the corner of a desk.

Update 8/4/23: Customer service continues to be 5 stars. They offered me a full refund past the closing window because the product did not perform as expected. Truly the mark of a great company. i updated my review to four stars to reflect that.Originally got this product because I had a lot of plugs that I needed to upgrade a bigger USB hub for from my smaller 4 port hub. The product didn’t work out that great for me. I have two external drives that kept disconnecting while I was trying to use them. I will give the company five stars for customer support they were very communicative and apologetic with me and sent out another replacement product free of charge unfortunately it had the same issues. I can keep my watch charger plugged in and another external cable but it just does not work for my external drives. I wish I had returned the product instead because now I have two of the same product and I feel like I wasted $50 and I am still on the lookout for a USB hub that does not disconnect. The only reason I did not rate it lower is because the customer support was excellent even if ultimately it did not solve my problem.

Very nice product - looks nice, is well made, and has individual port on/off buttons which means that you don't have to unplug and replug the device cable when needed.I am using this product to connect several USB devices (Bluray burner, scanner, label printer, mailing label printer) that all sit on my desk to my workstation computer which sits on the floor. By using the Hub, I only have to run one long cable from the Hub to the workstation. I then have short USB cables to the 4 devices.I purchased this Hub for future-proofing since it supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) devices as well as from the Hub to the workstation. I connected the Hub to a PCIe 2-port USB C 3.1 Gen 2 card. I did have to upgrade the driver for the PCIe card, but that's not really surprising since I purchased the PCIe card several years ago.I really like that the Hub has 3 USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) ports, 4 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (aka USB 3.0, 5 Gbps) ports, and 3 charging ports.The web page does not describe the data rate for the Host port, but I verified with support that the Host Port transfers at USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) speeds assuming that you connect a device that supports that speed.Just in case it's not obvious, you should only use the 3 USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports with devices that support the 10 Gbps speed -- mostly newer external hard drives.

works very well with no issues to attached devices. 3 hard drives and a camera plus a phone for charging. USB C is very handy. Only minor complaint is I have to look directly at the light from above to see if it on, as they are small. Like the delayed disconnect as it prevents accidentally turning anything off.I highly recommend this over the cheaper ones. Plenty of power and works well. Does not interfere with the computer as did the cheaper ones.

Something is wrong with the hub. I have a power strip with nothing connected to it, other than another USB hub. Slightly smaller, but similar. I needed to replace this old one with the new one. The new hub won't work if I connect it to the power strip to draw power, but it does work when I connect it to the wall power outlet (or directly to my UPS), which isn't an option for me because the power cable is too short. The power strip is standard 15amps, 1875 watts, and has worked fine for years with every device I ever connected to it. And like I said, there is only one device connected to it right now, a USB hub that I want to replace, and it is working fine. So what's the deal ? Isn't a power outlet ... a power outlet ?

Did a lot of research on these, and was looking for a hub with lots of ports that could be turned off with a button and had a light to indicate which ports were on. One nice thing about this hub is the blue led light indicators are very low-key, which is essential in my room environment, at night I don't need the room lit up like a rave. The switches feel very high quality, in fact the entire device is high quality. The only room for improvement is the power cord which is not terribly long. Was long enough for my needs, but doesn't give a lot of flexibility for placement. Also, there was an issue with the first one delivered, and the company made it right immediately sent a replacement and followed up with an email to make sure I was taken care of. Great product, would buy again, and good company would do business with again.

Works as described. Great build quality. For some reason when I tap the power button for the 3.1 port, it shut off, and now I can't turn it on again.
