Questions & Answers

Can this be used with an external drive? Although the picture has external hard drives, the description clearly says that external hard drives should not be used. ?

USB 3 is compatible with it. For me, there has been no problem mounting 0 drives. Various USB 2.0 issues occur when it is used with older devices. Sometimes (but not always) there will be no drives. It is attached to my gaming laptop, which is a Windows based machine and not a Mac machine, so I cannot speak to the performance of it on a Mac machine.

Do you know if it works with the 2019 Macbook Pro? Assume that's the case We just wanted to make sure. ?

There is no doubt that this hub will work on the 2019 MacBook Pros.

Can you tell me how long the cable is?

14" is about how long the cable is. There is about 19" of total length to the device

I use it with an 2018 Mac mini and it works fine
5/5

It would be great if there were a few more USBs This was the best I could do for the 2018 mini, so this was my pick An engine with a 3 cylinder power source. It is connected to a 5" enclosure, and a 2" unpowered drive is attached to it. Connect a 5" hard drive enclosure to it, as well as a monitor hub, and they all run at their rated speeds without any issues. This cable comes out of it in the form of a rounded-end wire There is definitely validity to the power caution presented in the product details. Though I've been successful with 2 so far, I hadn't tried the 3. While I had success with a 5" drive enclosure, I had no luck when I tried a USB Pioneer Blu-ray drive I tried to use a USB-based Blu-ray drive, but it would intermittently work and then abruptly fail. There was no problem using the mini's A ports directly. This is not a criticism of the product, just an aspect of it that is to be considered. The color of the iPhone XS is closest to the 2016 model. While the space gray appears to be a bit lighter than the new mini (Apple seems to have varying definitions of space gray these days), it is still very close to the 2016 iPhone XS. Space gray is the color of my new laptop and it has the same finish as my current laptop. As in the attached photo (cable management to be added shortly), you can see the difference.

The number of shortages is too high
3/5

like how long the cord is and how it allows me to use it with both the hard shell case exterior of my laptop as well as other USB-powered devices. This issue was due to actual functionality of the C plugs In addition, there is no need to connect any other USB devices Using the C cables, I connected 3 USB-powered devices Please confirm that your cords are attached Wireless technology that connects Bluetooth devices A USB-based mouse adaptor, an Xbox 360 wireless controller, and an external portable WD hard-drive all worked fine for a short time, but afterward started to (what I assumed) consume too much energy from the laptop's USB port A number of times, C slots were disconnected and reconnected. - A single Xbox 360 Wired Controller will work fine if you plug it in only that way. In this case, the WD hard drive served as the sole USB storage Usually, a cord behaves normally for about an hour before it starts acting strangely. As a final note, USB-compatible devices Although there were no other things attached to the computer, a wireless bluetooth mouse would disconnect constantly. My problems with the HyperDrive USB C Hub were the same as yours. This is an ideal USB-powered device if you need to charge your phone Plugging USB-A into a computer I was able to achieve success with the "JSAUX USB-C Solution" The newest USB A 3. 0 interface connects via cable C. Adapter 2 for USB 0. Keeping that in mind, you can only plug in one of these connectors on either side of the laptop at a time with a hardshell chassis.

The Mac Mini 2018 will not work with this software
3/5

In my opinion, the Anker USB 2 is disappointing in every aspect. It's the second USB type I've tried, after the USB 3 to USB 3 type. A recent review of online research has revealed that using poorly shielded USB hubs with many 2018 Mac Mini computers, which seem to be poorly shielded themselves, can be problematic. This causes both the wifi and bluetooth signals to be disrupted to such a degree that the Magic Mouse 2 continually loses connection with the computer and the wifi connection becomes extremely slow or stops working completely. It seems to me that both Apple and Anker are to blame here for failing to properly protect their products. As a result, I should disconnect the USB hub from the computer unless I need to transfer something urgently, and then I should bring it as far away from the computer as possible.

MY IRREADESS HAS BEEN PROVEN ACCURATE BY ANKER
5/5

It's a no-brainer A EDITED REVIEW OF THIS BOOK IS BELOW It appears the original product I received was defective, so Anker asked to send me a replacement, which I reluctantly accepted, and it worked just fine. I congratulate Anker for making sure that the customer is satisfied, which is hard to find in today's business climate. It is important to me to keep a desk with clean lines and I also purchased a new MacBook Air whose lack of ports made me search for a hub so that all the items I wish to plug in could be connected all at once. Please note - * Durable - Integer value
- A USB 3 port is a At a minimum, 0 (at a minimum)* This cord has a long cord with a design that follows With the Anker USB C Hub, you can plug in four USB 3. 0 devices at the same time. An attractive aspect of 0 is its sleek and clean appearance. In metallic grey it works well with MacBooks and the slim design is a good solution for hiding it under As I checked the transfer speeds of the devices plugged in, they were well below what USB 3 was capable of. Despite the item's advertised speeds and 5GB of storage space, it may not be as fast as advertised. It was just a defective unit (Anker sent a new one)
Cost The Positives 99 The following are the negatives ++Material ++Design ++Build quality ++Cost ++Transfer speeds (on the second one) ++Negatives Please note - The first one has a slow transfer speed (on the first one)

Final reached out to the company and they provided me with two options. In one instance, the item I plugged in faster was higher in voltage, which surprised me to find out that the physical rate of plugging something in can affect the speed of data transfer. It is true they meant to plug the item in faster (that's what I confirmed). Another option was they would send me a new item, and I took them up on it and the new item worked without a hitch. As an SD Card reader and SSD enclosure (among other things) both worked perfectly, this application transferred files at top speed. My only wish would be that it had an USB port Although it does not appear to be supported by C ports, that's not a knock. All in all, it works great and I love the length of the cord. If I were you, I would It is absolutely something I would consider. There is no doubt this is a great product, and the company stands behind the item, which is rare these days.
