Strong Practical but detrimental to performance
Connected to my Thunderbolt port, I used it with its type C port in 10g/bits.
In use, the USB hub seems to switch quite slowly.
While the speeds are guaranteed on a sata SSD, disk accesses are crumbling at the rate of the nt equivalent of a 16MB HDD with a 5400tr cache ... On Amorphes Disk Mark in random mode, you can't expect more than 500 iops, compared with 5000 in direct type C with my 2.5" laptop.
On the other hand, for the price, you're competing with the hub or even the BIGDATA from LACIE...
