USB C Hub AUKEY 8 in 1 Aluminum-Glass Type C Hub with Ethernet Port,4K USB C to HDMI, 3 USB 3.0 Ports, 100W USB C PD Charging, SD/TF for MacBook, Chromebook and Other USB C Laptops

This is the most Powerful USB C hub with almost all functions. It meets every need of mine. There are many aspects it does better than other hubs I've got.1. SurfaceThe black matt surface of the hub looks elegant and clean on my desk. Feels smooth and no fingerprint left behind.2. Scratch proofIt's made of really hard material and not a single scratch after several days use. Still looks like a brand new one.3. Hidden ethernet portUnlike other hubs with an open ethernet port, this one hides the port perfectly. You can hardly see it's plugged in.4. Carry pouchThis carry pouch they provided for free is not a random cheap one. It fits perfectly to the hub and is well stitched. Never feel awkward taking it around (You know how badly designed and material other sellers may use)Besides all these, they also provide a book of instructions. You can tell they spent time on writing it. Very detailed introduction. You can't find fault with such a beautiful artwork.

I have a 2017 edition 13" MacBook Pro with 4 USB C ports and no USB 3.0 or Lightning interfaces. Before I purchased this hub, I used one Anker USB C hub with an Ethernet port AND one USB C HDMI adapter to connect to my existing display, optical mouse, external USB3.0 HDD and printer (USB2.0). This USB C hub is very thin and compact. It greatly preserves some precious real estate on my desk as I have a Surface Pro and a Lenovo also on my desk for some applications that only run on Windows. One thing I wasn't expecting was that this USB-C hub can passthrough power from the power adapter while using this USB-C hub (there is a USB-C port on the hub) with other devices. While I have 3 other USB-C ports on the MacBook Pro, so this isn't that big of a deal, but I'm sure this is useful for laptops that don't have many USB-C ports. The USB-C hub does provide power to my external HD and DVD/CD drives. I have an external HDD (USB 3.0) that I run Mac Time Machine and I was able to power the external HDD and run complete backup without problems. This hub had no issues powering my DVD drive, which is another USB 3.0 device. Plugged my mouse into the USB2 port, and everything is good there.The HDMI works correctly with my display and no complaints there. The display with audio/video works fine with the HDMI. One thing that was a nice surprise was that the Ethernet port worked much better compared to my Anker USB-C hub with an Ethernet port. My previous USB-C hub took a while for the MacBook Pro to discover and usually took several minutes to connect to the network and obtain an IP address through DHCP. What I noticed with this one was the connection to the network was much faster, and usually, in less than 30 seconds, my MacBook was connected, had an IP address, and was able to start surfing or browsing. I have not run any speed test to see if the port was actually running at gigabit speed, but it's not as critical to me even if it didn't run at gigabit speed. The SD card slot was nice to have. I do have a separate USB SD card reader and now I can pack it away. I had the USB-C hub almost connected full and every device was working properly without any noticeable slowdown.All in all, I'm pleased with this hub and I have been using it daily for about a week now it.

I've had this for just under a week at this point and have already returned/repalced the first one. It wasn't keeping the Ethernet connection, it would disconnect and reconnect, kind of annoying. This replacement one keeps dropping the usb connections. I'll turn my PC on and the keyboard won't work. I have updated and uninstalled/reinstalled drivers and nothing seems to fix the issue. I may look for an alternative to this one if I keep having issues.9/15/2020 Update:Device works as it should, but still having the Ethernet connectivity issue. Are others having this issue? I've turned off power saving features through device manager, yet it still takes 30-40 seconds, if not longer, to connect. I feel as thought the device should connect within 3-5 seconds.9/23/2020 Update:Not only is the Ethernet port a constant problem, now the USB ports aren't responding until I either restart or unplug/plug the device back in. This defeats the purpose of the device. I bought it so I could leave the devices plugged in under my laptop stand and plug the USB-C into my PC and be done. Having to pull the whole thing out and go through it is just a PITA. I am not past my return period and stuck with the device.2/5/2021 Update:I would like to say that this product has exceeded my expectations. It wasn't a problem with the product, but it was an issue with my managed switch. Great product for what it does!

Pros:- The display and ethernet adapters worked well, and it could drive a keyboard and mouse and charge an iPhone while running a monitor.- Very light; half the weight of aluminum-cased hubs- Passthrough charging is a nice feature.- Manages thermals well! I have a usb drive that tends to get hot and it worked fine with this hub.- Good port assortment. Both ethernet *and* HDMI, plus 3 USB type A ports.Cons:- Unapologetically plasticky- Can be finicky with power. I can't drive peripherals or charge my iPhone off the USB-C port - it's *only* useful for passthrough power- Status lights are too bright and light leaks out of every port. Blinking ethernet light is really annoying.Overall, a good hub, but not my top pick.I bought this USB hub for $36.99 and was reimbursed

Working USB C Hub for "Chromecast with Google TV"There are 2 Limitations for the "Chromecast with Google TV"***1 - If you Unplug/Re-plug the ethernet cable, while the unit is on, you will have to Unplug the usb-c power adapter or you will not be able to reconnect to the internet***2 - Chromecast is only able to recognize/mount FAT32 partitions, it wont recognize NTFS or EXT4 formatted USB, not the Fault of Anker/usb c hub, its google need to add NTFS/EXT4 support for the Chromecast FirmwareOther than the 2 Limitations, its still an amazing hub to have if I need to use MOUSE/Keyboard for GeForce Experience games like Anno 1800 or City Skyline. My internet speed is only 100/20, but on my UNRAID Server I have iPerf running and ethernet speed is beating wifi speed from the TV location upstairsalso its a nice touch they provide a cloth pouch holder for the USB-C Hub, if I need to travel with it

As a developer I love big screens. So my monitor will be always connected to HDMI port. The device heats up a lot. Not sure whether this device will burn out in long run. The room temparature is like ~25 degree, but still the device is hot. All the ports USB, Ethernet, Power etc works great. I am using this with Macbook Pro 13 inch M1 silicon chip. I have another hub by Portronics which is lot cheaper and doesn't heat this much. Also this doesn't have any warranty, so either you win or lose. I am waiting to see what will happen in long run. I will update the review if it crashes in short time.Update 1 : Uploaded screenshots from connected monitor and laptop screen.

I just received my new hub and as always, Aukey does not disappoint, this hub works as described and it is way smaller than I had expected (good thing). I own a lot of different products from them and I've come to know the brand as reliable and high quality. Can't say I've ever shied away from Aukey products to date and I don't think this will change any time soon.

NO VIENE CON LA FUNDA QUE SE INDICA EN LA DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO!!! Envíen la funda y con gusto cambio mi calificación. Respecto al HUB, en líneas generales, cumple con lo ofertado, si bien las velocidades de lectura y escritura (USB y tarjetas) no son tan altas, si son suficientes para trabajar ofimática y multimedia: un archivo de 1.5GB le ha tomado unos 16 segundos copiarlo al PC (probado en un Zephyrys G14 con ssd); el mismo archivo enviado del PC a la memoria de origen (SanDisk de 16GB 3.0), le ha tomado unos 17 segundos (las velocidades variarán según el hardware utilizado). El HDMI va bien y no he notado lags en 4k o 1080. El puerto USB C de carga reconoce distintos tipos de cargadores (de laptop a 60w y de Smartphone a 20w). Funciona sin problemas con Windows 10, Ubuntu y Samsung Dex (Samsung S20), en todos los casos se reconocieron los puertos y la conexión ethernet sin problemas. El único detalle es que al conectar un disco duro (HHD WD de 1TB con conexión USB 3.1) no fue reconocido por el Samsung Dex (debido a el formato disco NTFS y no por cuestiones del HUB). Venga, pues espero te sea útil si has leído este comentario. Saludos y... Envíenme MI FUNDA!!!

Received my new Aukey 8-in-1 USB-C hub. Build quality is much better then other cheaper options that I have seen. Using as a docking station for my Macbook Pro. So nice to be able to keep cables and monitor plugged into the hub, leaving only 1 cable to plug into the Mac. The soft travel case was a nice touch.
