Acer 10Gbps USB-C Hub | 4 USB-C 3.2 Ports, 100W PD Charging

I am always running out of available USB ports on my PC, so having an extender hub is a must. This hub from Acer, which is a high quality brand from my experience, provides the necessary USB-C ports, plus it adds the feature of external power input, which is great for my Dell PC. All told, it adds 4 high-speed USB-C ports plus the power port. It works flawlessly with my PC, and it is completely compatible with all of the devices I have tried with it. A great addition to my desktop!

Acer has lately been my go to for tech accessories. This item is so well made with an aluminum shell and a thick cable. It's totally plug and play with 4 SuperSpeed and 1 PD Usb-C ports. Finally, I have an entirely type C USB hub for the modern age and at an amazing value.

My workstation has three USB-C ports, which sounds like a lot, but it's not enough with how many newer accessories now rely on USB-C. I connected this Acer hub to my fastest port, and it immediately gave me four extra USB 3.2 Gen 2 connections to work with. That's about the number of ports I need day-to-day, so it fit my setup well.Most of my use is attaching external drives for backups. I connected a 5-drive USB JBOD tower, and the hub transferred files at about the same speed as my motherboard's native ports. With large files on mechanical drives, I averaged around 135 MBps, and with my Corsair external SSD I saw closer to 155 MBps. That's not the maximum that SSD can do, but it's consistent and reliable for backups and transfers.The hub also includes a 100W PD port for charging a laptop while adding USB-C expansion. This only works if your laptop supports charging over USB-C, but if it does, you can run power through the hub and still gain four more ports at the same time. I tested this with a Dell laptop, and the setup worked fine. For my desktop PC, I don't use the PD port, but it's a handy feature for travel or portable work setups.The aluminum case feels sturdy, doesn't get hot under load, and the hub is small enough to tuck into a laptop bag if needed. It's plug and play, no setup required, and just works as expected.Overall, if you're short on USB-C ports and need extra connections for drives or accessories, this hub delivers good performance at a fair price.

This product is great! However, I noticed that the charging speed is significantly slower compared to using the direct Apple cord. On the other hand, I can charge multiple devices simultaneously.

I have a Windows PC with only one USB-C port and a MacBook Air with only two. It's not enough! :) This is a very slim, light hub that is perfect for users of lightweight laptops. The aluminum finish matches the MacBook very well, also.There is one PD port rated at 100W, so this is not ideal for high-power laptops. Works perfectly well with the MacBook Air, though.Good transfer speeds on USB storage devices attached to the other ports. All in all, a useful road accessory.
