Two USB-A and two USB-C ports in one slim aluminum shell — the adapter drawer stays closed.

Most four-port hubs force a choice between USB-A and USB-C. TSUPY does not: you get two of each, so an older flash drive and a modern USB-C SSD both plug in without an adapter. The whole line runs at 10Gbps shared across all four ports, and the cable stretches 120 centimeters — roughly four feet — which is long enough to reach a tower tucked under a desk. The aluminium body weighs 70 grams, light enough that it rides in a laptop sleeve without adding noticeable bulk.

The speed ceiling shows up when you stack several drives on it. TSUPY’s own notes explain the speed ceiling is set by your host port, so a USB 3.0 socket gives you USB 3.0 speed regardless of the hub. Buyers report it moving data “at greater than 10Gbps, almost 20 depending on the drive” in one verified review, and another owner stacking three external SSDs saw it settle to USB 3.0 speeds but stay stable with no random disconnects. So it stays stable with three SSDs attached, but drops to USB 3.0 speeds rather than failing.

Build quality gets the most consistent praise, with the mix of USB-A and USB-C singled out as the reason people keep it. There is an optional USB-C 5V power input for stability when you run several drives, and it is rated at 5Gbps — the current standard — and works with Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS without setup.

A see-through zinc alloy shell you can actually watch transfer over — and it runs cooler than plastic rivals.

The ORICO leans on its materials. The body is zinc alloy with a transparent PC panel, and the alloy is treated to resist oxidation — a fancy way of saying it will not pit or tarnish from daily desk handling. It pairs 2 USB-A with 2 USB-C 3.2 ports and moves data at 10Gbps, again shared across all four. The hub measures 2.24 x 2.24 x 0.81 inches — small enough to slip into a side pocket — and ORICO offers the cable in 1.64ft and 3.28ft lengths so you can match it to your setup.

What owners praise most is how the metal body feels and stays cool. Reviews describe the zinc alloy as sturdy and “cooler than plastic” while handling multiple devices at once, and one reviewer swapped an old case that lacked USB-C and 3.0 support for this hub and had zero disconnects running an NVMe enclosure. A real-world caveat: when daisy-chaining it off another hub, one owner had to supply a separate 5V 2A power block before their PC would detect it — so if you plan to chain hubs, budget for an adapter.

Windows 8 and Mac OS are supported, and it is plug-and-play with no driver install. The main limit to know is the port count is fixed at four — one reviewer wanted more but noted that other options failed quickly on stability, so they kept it.

Four USB-C ports, a 50-gram body, and no power brick — this is the one that lives in your laptop bag.

The numbers are what sell this UGREEN. It turns one USB-C port on your laptop into four USB-C data ports at up to 10Gbps, and UGREEN rates it to move a 20 GB file in 16.4 seconds. At 50 grams it barely registers in a bag. It is a data-only hub — the ports do not pass video or charge your laptop — and that narrower job is exactly what keeps it small and simple.

The caveat is battery drain on tablets and phones. If you connect a hub to an iPad or an iPhone without its own power, the tablet has to supply current to whatever you plug in, which drains faster than using a hub with its own supply. That drain is inherent to bus-powered hubs, which draw current from the host device. Owners note it works well with a MacBook Pro M5 for external SSDs and YubiKeys, and one reviewer summed up the appeal plainly: it fits in a travel bag and takes no external power.

Build quality is the consistent theme in reviews — solid, braided cable, no overheating — and the portable size is where this really delivers over the cheaper plastic hubs.

Aircraft-grade aluminum, a braided one-foot cable, and four ports that hit full speed together.

Where the smaller UGREEN is trim for travel, this one is built for the desk. All four ports are USB-C 3.2 and all four carry 10Gbps simultaneously when the drives support UASP, a transfer mode that lets USB storage skip some of the overhead of older protocols. The shell is aircraft-grade aluminum that spreads heat, and the one-foot braided cable cuts the strain on a laptop’s port. It fits laptops, tablets, Steam Deck, and mobile workstations.

Part of what makes this model rate higher than its sibling is the smaller band of complaints. It is a data hub first, and most owners are clear on that. The larger set of reviews on the smaller, cheaper UGREEN includes a meaningful share of units that drop drives mid-transfer, especially when several are connected at once — a real-world warning that not every 10Gbps hub holds its speed under a genuine load. This model earns its position by delivering the full number with less of that mixed feedback.

The trade-offs are the same design choices that keep it fast. No Thunderbolt displays, no HDMI, no DisplayLink docks — the ports are for drives, keyboards, and audio gear, not monitors. And it does not charge your laptop. Buyers who connect four USB-C audio interfaces to a Mac mini or Mac Studio report it running without noticeable heat, which is exactly the use case the aluminum shell was built for.

The one that ships with its own power brick — so four hard drives do not lean on your laptop.

A hub that plugs into the wall is a different animal from one that sips power from your laptop, and the Rosonway is the only pick here that includes its own 10W (5V/2A) adapter in the box. That adapter is the reason this hub can feed each of its four USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports steadily, and it has a built-in surge protector with overvoltage and overcurrent protection. The cable is a 3.3ft run, long enough for a Mac Studio, M1 Mac mini, iMac, XPS or Surface Pro sitting further from your chair.

What buyers praise most is speed and steady power. One long-time owner testing two NVMe enclosures found a real limit worth repeating: the hub delivers the full 10Gbps to the motherboard, but its onboard chipset cannot push 10Gbps between two ports at once — with two M.2 enclosures on separate ports, throughput drops below 5Gbps. That is an honest ceiling on hub-to-hub copy jobs, and it only bites if you routinely move large files between two external drives at the same time.

The individual on/off switches — light press to open, long press to close, with the port remembering its last state — round out the package. The metal casing is a solid aluminum alloy that stands up to desk life. This model is for the desk with a few external drives on it, not for the bag.

The hub that does display, charging, and data through one cable — as long as you use the first port.

This is the only pick in this list built to do more than move files. Anker rates it for 10Gbps data (their own note: 20X faster than USB 2.0), a 4K@60Hz display output, and up to 100W charging input — all fed through a single USB-C cable. The detail that matters is the display only mirrors via the first USB-C port, so you need to know which one that is before you plug in a monitor. The body uses 75% post-consumer recycled materials, which is a rare detail in this category.

The trade-off is structural: PD and video share the first USB-C port. Owners mention the power delivery and the display port share a lane — you cannot easily run a monitor’s 90W power feed, video, and full port expansion at once. One software developer uses it to solve a port shortage, and a stage performer uses it to chain MIDI devices — both real uses where reliability matters more than raw speed.

The 4K@60Hz figure refers to the refresh rate, a smoothness measure for on-screen motion. It is comfortable at 60Hz for everyday work but not the ideal choice for someone who needs 10Gbps and full-bandwidth passthrough charging at the same time.

A metal hub that screws into a panel and runs off screw-terminal power — built for machines, not laps.

The Waveshare is aimed at projects, not desks. It runs four USB 3.2 Gen1 ports at 5Gbps (a step below the 10Gbps hubs above, but plenty for most peripherals) and each port can deliver up to 2A maximum output current, which is the built-in protection against USB current backflow. It has a 7~36V DC power port on board, screw terminals for hardwiring power, and mounting holes so you can bolt it inside an enclosure.

What earns the praise here is suitability for builds. Home Assistant and 3D printer owners are the natural fit: one reviewer has run it continuously for over seven months with zero downtime, another powers it from a 24V supply inside a Voron 3D printer enclosure with six USB devices hanging off it. The metal case shields USB 3.0 noise that was interfering with a telescope’s wifi, which is the kind of problem this hub exists to solve. One owner notes the supplied USB A-to-A cable is the weak link — a replacement cable fixed disconnects and corruption — so budget for a better one.

The one buyer to avoid: someone who specifically needs 10Gbps. Reports vary on how well it holds top Gen1 speeds, and this is fundamentally a 5Gbps hub. Its job is to be bolted in place and forgotten about, not to race USB 3.2 Gen 2 drives.

Three dedicated 10Gbps USB-C ports plus a fourth that also passes 100W of power through.

The StarTech splits its four USB-C ports in a way that is worth understanding: three are dedicated 10Gbps data, and the fourth is shared — it either moves data or passes your laptop’s charger through at up to 100W. That shared fourth port solves the charging-versus-data tension the cheaper hubs force you to pick between. The housing is 90% post-consumer recycled aluminum, the braided cable is a compact 8 inches, and setup requires no drivers.

The 8-inch cable is a deliberate choice: it keeps the hub and its cable close to the laptop or tablet, which is ideal for a sleeve or a crowded laptop bag, but less tidy if you want the hub to sit on top of a fixed desk away from the machine. StarTech markets this for IT setups and field work, and the aluminum shell with braided cable lasts better than the plastic bodies elsewhere in this list. One careful reviewer measured it transferring at 989 MB/s from a 10Gbps NVMe enclosure — the number a serious buyer will care about, because it means no speed drop against a direct connection.

The catch: the four ports share a 10Gbps total, so two heavy drives at once split the pipe. If your work is a single SSD at a time, you will never notice.
