Inateck HB2025

I needed a USB A (only) hub with an approx 50cm cable to run from the rear of the PC to the front, that would work with keyboards & mice when editing the BIOS and fast storage when imaging drives. This worked perfectly, in that at boot & POST everything connected was recognised and I was able to image drives to external SSDs and USB Flash drives at approx 450MB/s. I could also leave it plugged in when running the O/S without the overhead of additional ports which many fast hubs comes with.

Feels right and has one socket on the end for daisy chaining. Works a treat and basically just works as intended.

very very very light weight it looks and feel good lets hope it last, The speed is true unlike many other items sold on here I do like inateck I have bought 4 hdd inclosures from them in the past and all good have lasted too. I took a chance on this I'm glade I did the only thing I did not like is that you don't have any markings saying which is the 3.1 usbs and 2.0 usbs there is one port that will not work with 3.1 usb connected to it just disconnects

I wanted a hub to plug my many outboard gen 2 SSDs into. With the 2ports only on my laptop I despaired as many hubs quoted as 10GHz are hamstrung as the signalling is not brought out to their input ports which "duh"kinda defeats its purpose. The excellent exposition of a prior user/buyer convinced me to try this baby despite the caveats emperor. IT did not dissapoin;t dir listing now zap up. The amazing thing is this little beauty is a cheaper price than those many many fancy hobbled ones. Buy this, be happy.

Connects up to four USB-A 3.1 Gen 1 (5Gbps) devices to a single USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) host port. Most hubs of similar configuration and price use Gen 1 for the type-C port, so this model is able to offer double the bandwidth. If your host device only has a type-C Gen 1 port, this hub will still work at that lower speed. My only complaint is the short cable - I would have preferred a model with a 70cm cable.

If you want your connected devices to just work, like a USB hub should do, then look for something else. This thing for the first 7-10 days worked just fine. I made sure it was plugged into one of my USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, attached my mouse, keyboard and headset USB receivers into it and forgot about it. That was until the mouse and keyboard would start to loose connection randomly, and at boot on my PC every time I started to get warnings about the attached USB device's DisplayPort capability is limited or not supported by my PC and it knocks other USB devices out that are directly attached to the PC due to a lack of USB resources, as also reported by Windows. That's impressive for a USB hub that doesn't have a DisplayPort connector on it at all. Inatek's response was that my PC's USB controller isn't compatible which is causing the issue. I tested on all 3 computers I have here and it was the same result on every single one of them - and yes they all use a different USB 3 controllers on their motherboards. Main system is AMD USB 3.2 Extensible Host Controller, Laptop is Intel Unified USB3 Controller and my Media PC (much older) is Renesas USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller. The hub is clearly defective, as it's not possible all 3 PC's all at one have incompatible or faulty USB capability (as well as working perfectly normally with anything directly connected), not that Inateck believe me tho. Sending it back to Amazon for a refund.

This works well. The cable is not too long but certainly enough for me. It requires no extra power and it easily runs a couple of SSD drives. I have not tried 3. Very Pleased with it.

Actually lives up to the advertising which is seldom seen and at this price, is a fantastic buy!! And just in case the price goes up, I paid £15.98 for it, brilliant!

Received product intact and on time with no problems. Shut down computer & unplugged 3 multi-terabyte-class HDDs and a BluRay player from the back of the computer, plugged this hub into a USB 3.2 port, and plugged the 4 devices into the hub. Note that each of these devices has its own, separate functioning power source--relying on this hub for any power whatsoever would be a mistake; that's not what it's for. Fired everything up. Did speed benchmarks with CrystalDiskMark (and I had run same with the devices plugged into the computer). Performance results for the HDDs were comparable. The BD worked. So, no complaints! If it goes belly up, I'll change the review, but right now, it appears to be performing per specs.

this hub works well. I've bought 2.

Funziona benissimo a differenza di altri modelli nella stessa fascia di prezzo. Ho provato ssd, dischi meccanici e pennette. Sempre perfetto con velocità che rispettano gli standard dichiarati.

Pros: Able to power 4 external hard drives USB 3.2 gen 2 10Gbps speed Slim and portable Sleek design Lightweight Cons: None I purchased this USB hub to power 4 external hard drives and it performs great. I didn't notice any drop in file transfer speeds while reading and writing to all 4 drives at the same time. The design is sleek and looks good. Most modern laptops do not offer many USB type A ports and this would be a great option for expanding the ports on your laptop. Overall great product at a great price.
