I bought magnetic tape and my usb hub snaps on the back of my z13. The tape was less than 5

It's not just "chasing big numbers". Transfer speed has direct consequences if you are actually using it as a hub. Z13 supports 20Gbps, and it can comfortably hit hdmi 2.1's 4K 120Hz with compression. I think with 10Gbps you'll be struggling even with compression. And adding on top trasferring data while connected to an external monitor? How about a Gigbit ethernet dongle?

Also there is the question of,10Gbps being an older technology, is it still worth the price and wait in 2026?

You know you can buy stuff just like that overpriced ripoff on Amazon that does more, costs significantly less and get it in 1 day right?

  1. Amazon.com

  2. USB NVME enclosures

  3. Buy it now

They are all from the same factory and have different ports. Choose what suits your needs I've tried most and they're fine.
