Great product. Would buy again.

Very disappointing purchase. HDMI port did not work, and it gets extremely hot during normal use. Had to replace with a different product.

I am in the process of moving from a PC to an Apple mini. It doers not have anywhere near the ports I have now so I got a few hubs so that I can keep using the peripherals I like. I am copying some content over and really appreciate the transfer speed. It is over twice as fgast as other hub, which makes a huge difference when moving large files.Several of the hubs I have had only give you one c port, and since it is using your c port it is only replacing the one it uses. Likely those are suitable for apple users who need the a ports more. This hub gives you 2 of everything, except ethernet.The build is solid, and so is the protection it offers. I haven't seen another hub with overload . short circuit and overcurrent protection. That means a lot with the flaky electric we get in Hawaii.Lov3e the expansion, the protection and the speed.

Belkin has for many years produced top-notch accessories and this is another great addition to their product catalog. While other USB-C hubs may have more connections, this one has all the core ports you need without extraneous ones that will rarely get used and just add size / weight for no reason. The hub is well-constructed of high quality materials (an all aluminium case, etc.) and should prove to be highly durable.As far as ports, the central attraction here is that you get two HDMI outputs which will work in extended mode on nearly all devices (at least if they support basic video out over USB-C) - INCLUDING M1 Macbooks and other devices that usually only support one external monitor in extended ABC mode. That's enabled by the Silicon Motion chip and drivers - you do have to install the appropriate drivers (there's a sticker on the hub with the download link on it) but it's quite easy to do. I do wish that both ports were 4K 60Hz, but one is 4K 60Hz and the other is 4K 30Hz (both will do 60Hz+ on 1080p) which should be sufficient for most scenarios. Beyond that, you get gigabit ethernet, pass through USB-C PD charging (the hub accepts up to 100W and passes on about 15W less than it takes in - so if you supply 100W, your device will get 85W), 2 USB-C ports at 10Gbps, and 2 USB-A ports at 5Gbps.Now, the fully speed of the various ports will depend, of course, on the plug you use to connect it to your device with Thunderbolt and / or USB 4 providing more TOTAL bandwidth to the device than less standards (though lesser standards - as long as they support USB-C PD and video - will work just fine).So if you could use a great way to add more connectivity to your USB-C enabled device, this is a great way to add it in the form of a powerful and durable hub from a great name brand. Give it a try today!

one of the hdmi inputs stopped working after almost 2 months.....

The media could not be loaded. This 8 to 1 USB type C 3.0 adaptors came from Belkin and was priced at $140 when ordered. The unit has a high quality feel to it and is quite dense. The shell is made of a high quality plastic that could be mistaken for metal. This hub has a very premium feel to it.Packing was well done using fully recyclable paper based material which secured and protected the hub during transport. The packing was fully color branded and retail quailty. They could have gone for the premium unboxing experience as the product is top knotch, but I respect their decision not to waste any materials.Use was very easy. Just plug it in to a 3.0 port, then start the connection of accessories. I tested this on a Samsung Ultra s8 and Windows based PC and never downloaded the recommened software, as performance was flawless even without it. At the same time I was able to run a touch screen 4k monitor, head set, key board and mouse. All while also connected to power and hardwired for 1Gb internet access. I don't have any complaints about the performance of this product at all. It was just plug and play with perfect performance.The one issue I found was with tablet compatability was difficulty getting the audio signal to play from the tablet when the hub was connected. I had to use head phones or external speakers. No such issue exsisted with the PC, so this is likely related to the tablet, but worth mentioning.Overall this is a top quality hub from a reputable brand that will honor their warranties. The price is a bit high, but with apple compatability baked in, that maybe where the extra cost is going. Even at the price, you get what you pay for. The ability to dock a tablet or labtop and instantly turn it into a full PC style experience with no fuss is just amazing.
