Troubleshooting
Q1: Can USB C on this hub support video displaying?
A1: No,the 2 USB C ports are only support data transmission.
Q2: What SSD should I choose to suit the hub?
A2: This hub is compatiable with M Key and B+M Key M.2 SSD (2242/2260/2280).
Some NVMe SSDs compatible:
- Samsung 980 Pro, Samsung 970 EVO;
- Western Digital Black SN850, Western Digital Black SN750,
- Western Digital Blue SN550;
- Acer FA100;
- Crucial P2;
- Intel 670P Series;
- Silicon Motion SM2263XT, etc.
Some M.2 SATA SSDS compatible:
Samsung 860 EVO, Samsung 850 EVO; Western Digital Green, Western Digital Blue; Kingston UV500, Kingston A400; Adata SU800, etc.
Q3: Why can’t I get 10Gbps speed?
A3: This 5-port USB-C upstream interface has a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 10Gbps. When we connect only one USB-C port or SSD slot, the maximum speed (10Gbps) can be achieved, but when multiple interfaces are connected, the bandwidth will be automatically allocated,so the actual speed we reach will always be less than 10Gbps.
Q4: Why the hub can’t support Apple USB SuperDrive?
A4: Because Apple USB SuperDrive consumes a lot of power, the hub won’t provide enough power. It is recommended to connect to the Thunderbolt port on the computer itself.
