HDMI: A hub can be very useful at a desk, especially if you want to hook your computer up to an external monitor.Our measured speeds landed largely in the 400 to 425 MB/s range we eliminated any model that was noticeably slower. Most of the hubs we tested advertised USB 3.0 speeds, which max out at 640 megabytes per second on paper. Since SSDs are faster than spinning hard drives, our use of the T5 ensured that the speeds we measured weren’t hindered by the drive. We ran AJA System Test speed tests using the Samsung T5 Portable SSD (500 GB) to measure transfer speeds.

As a bonus, it’s aesthetically inoffensive-it doesn’t look like it belongs with the greatest hits of ugly ’90s technology, unlike some of the other hubs we’ve tested. It has seven upward-facing USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 data ports with a helpful LED activity indicator for each it also has three 12-watt (2.4-amp) power ports just for charging. USB-A ports will not support Apple SuperDrive or charge iPads.If you’re mainly concerned about connecting to your computer as many devices as you can, choose the Anker 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub.
