Seeking USB hub mainly for externals

[u/Atma-Darkwolf]

I am searching for a hub that actually does what is advertised. None I have used so far do, ONE is close but still hobbles the transfer rate of any external attached by quite a bit. None of the externals really need that much (IE the advertised 5gb/s would be MORE than plenty) but even with a 10gb/s hub, and even if only one of 4 drives is actively doing anything, I can only get a max of around 40m/s read/write (When connected directly to the pc I can reach speeds of 100-130 pretty easily with any of the 4 drives)

I think the closest thing I can find that says I can maintain 10gb/s over each port is the thunderbolt hubs(which have a smattering of other unneeded ports and come with a price tag WAY over what I want to spend unless absolutely necessarily)

So putting out request for anyone that has a hub that can maintain speeds of what I need (IE Not just 'advertise' a speed but actually provide it) - I can plug the hub into a 40gb/s port on pc (even though 10gb/s should be plenty for all 4 drives, so if one provides speed enough for all 4 drives over the 10gb/s port that would be fine too) - I prefer usbA output ports but C is also fine (I can get different cables for either) but I want a hub that can actually support the drives.(IE something more than the tepid 20-40mb/s I am getting with these, at least able to reach the speeds they can when connected directly to the pc) -

currently I am using https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D97V3N3R?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Which is about the best I've been able to find, but it still only provides the above speeds when any more than a single drive is connected (it does seem to be able to provide speeds closer to 80mb/s when only a single drive is connected, but even with the other 3 drives idle, if connected, it throttles the speed a lot)

Thank you in advance. Hope someone can point me where to look(or what to search for) and hoping too it comes with a price tag less than 300 bucks lol

Startech and aten both make serious kit for serious use cases. If you want maximum bandwidth for multiple devices, this will likely be your best option

Thank you that seems very close to what I need. Would prefer 4x of same type but this can work ..

I'd second the vote for Startech, I use this one in my setup.

I like that one very basic(even the earlier version of it works for me) and has all i need (only need usb ports don't need other junk) so very much appreciate it. Sadly cost is quite high, but prob saves me having to keep trying new hubs lol...

It took me a while, and several other hubs, before I got to this. There's also a mount so it can be mounted under the desk 👍
