How to use

Connect the hub to a computer’s USB-C® port and attach desired USB Type-C or Type-A devices to the hub’s ports. The device is typically plug-and-play—no additional drivers are required on most modern operating systems, including ChromeOS. For optimal performance, connect high-speed storage devices directly to the Gen 2 ports and avoid using multiple bandwidth-heavy devices simultaneously if maximum transfer speed is required.

Recommendations

Use the hub with a direct USB-C® port on your laptop rather than through another multi-port adapter. For sustained high-speed transfers, connect a single external SSD at a time and ensure the host device supports USB 3.1/3.2 Gen 2 speeds. Keep the hub in a ventilated area during heavy use to avoid thermal throttling.
