Amazing CustomerAmazing Customer: It's a small little USB hub with 3 USB3.0s, a SD and microSD, a HDMI and a c-charger port. The bit that connects to your computer is also a c-charge connector which I wasn't expecting, but I have a slot for it on my computer, and it actually allows me to free up my computers USB ports too, so it ends up working for me very nicely. It covers my needs and I'm satisfied

Isabel Valerio: Es un producto que utilizo diariamente para mi portatil, en particular para contar con más puertos USB y conectar una memoria adicional por la ranura de micro SD.

Se puede llegar a calentar bastante. Además, tener en cuenta que el puerto HDMI sólo será útil si su computadora cuenta con visualización de HDMI por medio del puerto USB C, en caso de que quieran conectar un monitor adicional.

Amazon Customer: This was a nifty little hub. Loved the form factor. Not too small and neither too big. Looks good too.

Giving it 1 star less as it did not have an Ethernet port and this would have been phenomenal only if Ethernet support was provided as well.

Travelinfool: Let me first say that I am quite satisfied with this product for the primary purpose that led me to purchase it. It works quite well with my HP Elitebook, allowing me to charge and use USB devices, HDMI, and SD cards admirably. It is small, which is a bonus for travel and allows me to cut down on the number of different bricks and dongles that I have to tote when traveling.

I had hoped that I could use it with a three foot USB C extender cable and it sort of works but for some reason I cannot fathom, my audio cuts out when I use it with the extended and comes back when I remove the extended - go figure. It would have been nice to not have to have the hub so close to the laptop, but I am guessing there is a reason why virtually ALL these hubs have a very short cable. THis was NOT in ANY way a deal-breaker. For the price, this thing is still a BARGAIN.

I had also hoped to use it with my Fire HD 10 tablet to allow me to access USB devices and charge at the same time (which it does exceedingly well for the laptop). But when I plug this into the Fire and attach a USB power cable, the Fire goes nuts and says that it has detected "liquid in the USB port". From some searches...

A.D.: I needed a small usb hub since my new laptop only has one UCB-C + one USB 3, and does not even have an SD card reader, even though it's big i.e. a Gaming machine (no idea why companies would do this, agh).

So since that was pretty limiting I needed to get a USB hub so I could connect my keyboard, mouse, external hard drive, and read SD cards (from my photo camera).

After extensive search I decided on this mini USB hub and it's GREAT. Very solid build quality * METAL, not plastic! And the general feel to it is great. I gave it 4/5 stars because when I wanted to test what I could do I connected 3 eternal portable hard drives + inserted an SD card, and it was having some hiccups when I wanted to move data from say one to another, i.e. a drive would randomly disconnect, but not sure if this is because I had essentially 4 things hooked up. If I use it for my specific use case (i.e. a mini dock to which I connect via USB-C which has one external hard drive) it works PERFECT. Definitely recommend.

Alondra M: Funciona a la perfección, llevo dos semanas usándolo diario con mi Macbook Air y siven perfecto cada uno de los puertos, los que mas uso es el HDMI todo el tiempo y el de USBC al momento de cargar mi mac mientras uso el monitor. En ningún momento he tenido ningún problema, y de igual forma es compatible con mi Wacom, la cual conecto en los puertos USB 3.0 para tomar mis notas de la universidad.
Estoy muy agradecido con que funcionara, ya que en el pasado he probado con distintos adaptadores y se calentaban aun mas que este y fallaban al cargar la compu mientras la usaba. En este adaptador, te olvidas de estos problemas.

It works perfectly, I have been using it daily with my Macbook Air for two weeks and each of the ports are perfect, the ones I use the most is HDMI all the time and USBC when charging my mac while using the monitor. At no time have I had any problems, and it is also compatible with my Wacom, which I plug into the USB 3.0 ports to take my college notes.
I am very grateful that it worked, since in the past I have tried different adapters and they got even hotter than this one and failed to charge the computer while using it. In this adapter, you...

Nick and Natalie: [Update 11/15/20]
After my review posted, the company left a comment advising me to reach out to them for a remedy. They were responsive and quickly offered a full refund for the defective product. For the responsive and helpful customer service, I've raised my initial rating to 4 stars.

[Original Review]
First off, the good. This device is slim and feels high quality. The metal body and plastic ends look well made. Overall it looks and feels like a high quality product. It does get warm during use, but never so hot as to be dangerous or cause me to worry. I like the fact that there's no power light, though there is a fairly bright green network status light when Ethernet is plugged-in. I primarily use this to connect a MacBook Air to a 1080p monitor via HDMI, network via Ethernet, and external hard drive via USB. I've tested all of the USB ports and the SD card slot, and they work. For its high build quality and functional ports, I give it two stars.

Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends. The bad news is that it's unusable because it causes kernel panics. If my computer is plugged-in to this hub and is left to sleep for more than a few minutes, it...
