VEMONT USB C Hub, 5 in 1 Aluminum Type C Adapter with 3 ports USB 3.0, Gigabit Ethernet RJ45, 100W PD Quick Charger, compatible for MacBook Air/Pro Dell XPS Lenovo Yoga and more USB C devices

For the 4k Chromecast Google TV & Google Streamer to give Adopted Storage (that's a special memory allocation so all additional memory becomes main addressable memory) you need to do the following: 1. Power goes in the side of the hub, and you might need a bigger power supply. 2 amps old phone charger will do via an e seller. Google TV tells you if it doesn't have enough power. What additional USB is plugged in will have a bearing on whether the power that came with the device is adequate. I found for the Chromecast dongle I had to use a more powerful power supply, 2 amp. For the Goggle Streamer the one out of the box seems fine to drive 1tb SSD... not true for the Chromecast dongle. 2. For adopted storage where it mounts all of your memory extended seamlessly, you will most probably have to do a factory reset with the device in to enable the drivers. A little closely guarded secret, only three mentions of this on the net. Few more now. A factory reset does the trick. I have a 1tb Samsung SSD mounted on it with Ethernet and a Huawei 2amp USB-C charger powering it all up. Chromecast Google TV needs this factory reset with the hub in to get the adopted storage drivers mounted correctly. The bottom on screen error message "data can't be transferred" or words to that means you got to do this if you want adopted storage. In ES Explorer you can see the added memory becomes pooled into the device's total memory available, when adopted storage isn't working you won't see the additional memory pooled. This is an old Nvidia Shield trick to turn a streaming device into a media server with built-in memory. You only really do this with SSD memory or reliable USB sticks. Once adopted storage is in play if the device becomes corrupted you loose what is in the adopted storage. The device will still boot but all apps on the adopted storage you won't see or any data files on it. Google Streamer same trick. Don't bother to load up any programs go for adopted storage, plug it all in and follow videos online. Select the option to integrate the SSD menu as main memory. ---- In summary, all is good with this hub on a 4k Chromecast Google TV device, but it's most likely you will have to use the little secret of doing a factory reset with everything plugged in to get adopted storage drivers configured in the Chromecast device + upping the power supply. You do (1) first to settle on whether the unit gives the power supply error. If good (2), the factory reset if you want adoptable storage. As said, one 2amps Smartphone charger is fine, nothing fancy with a 1TB SSD and in the case of the Google Streamer the power supply in the box was sufficient. This turns a streamer into a media server and streamer combined. Amazon Firestick / Cube / TV use the old Fat32 that limits you to 4gb file size, not good for 4k. Google on the other hand and Google Streamer less handicapped with program memory works perfectly with this hub. The crucial bit for adopted storage you need the PD type which this is.

I do not know how Amazon chooses their rate features on the products reviews. There is always one of them that I fail to see how it fits on the particular product. Anyway, this review is not about amazon. The hub came in a very nice, sealed box. It has a black bag to protect it whilst taking it with you to wherever your needs demand. It is very decent looking and sturdy. I bought this mainly for the ethernet connector to use with Chromecast with google TV (CCGTV). Initially, I got very disappointed because it was not working at all. I tried different ethernet cables, rebooted my router. I tried it on a macbook pro and it simply refused to work. The LEDs from the RJ45 port were blinking and giving signals of live but neither the CCGTV nor the macbook were getting an ethernet connection. However, the USB port were working on my macbook. I disconnected it and went away to do a few more things and came back to it a few hours later. I decided to try again with the macbook. For reasons that I cannot understand it was working. I disabled my Wi-Fi and connection was strong and perfect. I then tried it again on CCGTV and the connection was detected and so far it’s been working without a problem. I also tried the different cables and different devices including a windows laptop and all of them are working fine. All of the devices can see the connected USB pen drives and ethernet is working. The devices can also be powered through the hub. I was able to power the CCGTV and the macbook. I sincerely do not understand why it was not working when taken out of the box and why it is working now. I did try to find some sort of support. I thought that it might need some firmware update or something similar, but I was not able to find any place with reference to the brand or the hub. I guess that if something goes wrong one is done for it. I hope this helps.

It works but: 1) Plugging a second hard drive into it can sometimes cause the first to disconnect. The web page does mention hard drives should be externally powered. 2) If I plug it into one of my Thunderbolt ports, my wired mouse (not plugged into to it), goes jerky. May be just that port. It works fine on a different port. 3) If I power my MacBook through it, it makes a quiet whine of protest whenever I move my mouse, even if my mouse if plugged into a separate Thunderbolt port.

I bought this to utilise with my new Chromecast with Google TV. This was a great purchase. It provides so much more functionality to the Chromecast by itself. The main reason I purchased this was for the ethernet capability as it is similar in price to the official Google add on to add ethernet, except this also provides USB ports. Everything works perfectly as expected. No need to get a more powerful brick or anything as the stock power supply works perfectly for me. Overall, very happy with the product, feels high quality and works exactly as expected.

Good for about a year. Have used it consistently since Apr-25 but the Ethernet port suddently broke in May-26. Disappointing and likely won't purchase again - shame the warranty is only 12 months so expand that longevity.

Bought to use with the Chromecast with Google TV for ethernet networking and USB - it seems to work perfectly for this. Make sure you use a USB-C PD (Power Delivery) power supply with it so the Chromecast is powered properly. One limitation at the moment is you can't really use any other file system on a USB memory stick plugged into the Chromecast/hub due to the Android/Google TV OS, so bear this in mind (4GB file size max). Build quality wise, a very nice solid alloy casing, seems like it would last well as a travelling hub.

Purchased (£23) really for the ethernet and charging wattage it can handle. Power side of it worked but the ethernet did not work at all. No lights on a proven working connection. Feels ok, like that plastic metal effect stuff. USB C connector to the laptop felt secure. Returning for refund as even if I do get it replaced for a working one, I don't trust it will last long. Going off other reviews with exactly the same experience (and another I purchased and since failed a year ago), it tells me there are 0 quality checks therefore I don't see any lasting long at all. By the time people read this, the item will be discontinued, then re-branded and the circle of Chinease tat continues. But on returning, help Amazon save the amount of trucks on the roads by taking it to a dedicated Amazon collection point. I feel good inside for selecting that.

Received a new Lenovo laptop from work so wanted a hub to allow me to connect headset, keyboard and mouse with USB as there wasn't enough ports on it. Bought this on offer and works perfectly. Tried the ethernet connection but could only manage 100mb so stuck with the 1gb adapter that came with the laptop. It does get very hot though when using the rj45 connection and not sure why. Worth the money at this price.

Produkt jest używany przeze mnie do poszerzenia własności Google Chromecast 4K. Współpracuje z dyskiem SDD Seagate 0,5 TB w związku z tym można instalować programy i gry w zakresie odpowiednim do posiadanego rozszerzenia pamięci. W tym przypadku konieczny był zakup ładowarki Anker (https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B088T8FP4M?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) oraz odpowiedniego kabla (https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B07SGQCBFV?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). , Jeśli chodzi o WiFi (5-GHz), to bywa nawet szybsze od Ethernet, ale ma kilkukrotnie wyższy ping w związku z tym korzystam również z gniazda Ethernet w celu zmniejszenia opóźnień. Polecam zakupu w Amazon :).

google tv 4k ile sorunsuz çalıştı. ancak bilmeniz gereken, bu cihazın çalışması için bir de adaptör alma zorunluluğunuz. google tv yanında gelen adaptör usb type c PD protokolünü desteklemediği için cihaz çalışmıyor. amazondan en ucuz usb type c PD çıkışlı mojue by ttec MS12 PD 30W veya 20w olanını bile taksanız sorunsuz çalışıyor. özetle adaptör almazsanız güç kaynağınız yeterli olsa bile cihaz çalışmıyor bilginiz olsun. ethernet doğrudan bağlanıyor hiçbir sorun yok ama google tv bağlantı hızını söylemediği ve internetim 50 mbit olduğu için gigabit olup olmadığını doğrulayamıyorum. kablolu ethernet hızı çok etkilemese bile pingler acaip düştü, steam link kullanmak için ideal bir hale geldi. özetle ben fazlasıyla mutlu oldum. :)

Lite kort kabel, annars ok.

The VEMONT 5-in-1 USB-C Hub works exactly as advertised. LAN connection is stable at 1000 Mbps, USB 3.0 ports are fast, and the overall build feels solid. No issues so far — simple, reliable, and does the job.
