For each model in the test group, we verified the connection speed in Network Utility on a Mac, which displays the maximum link speed. Most hubs with Ethernet ports support gigabit speeds, meaning data can transfer at up to 1,000 megabits a second. Ethernet: A wired Ethernet connection is almost always faster than Wi-Fi and is more reliable, too.Most hubs support only a 30 Hz refresh rate (the image refreshes 30 times a second) at 4K resolution, but a handful now support a smoother 60 Hz rate, and we prefer those hubs that do. We connected each of the hubs via HDMI to a Philips 272P7VUBNB/27 monitor with the resolution set to 4K, and we used the Blur Busters UFO Motion Test to confirm the refresh rate. HDMI: A hub can be very useful at a desk, especially if you want to hook your computer up to an external monitor.Our measured speeds landed largely in the 400 to 425 MB/s range we eliminated any model that was noticeably slower.
Most of the hubs we tested advertised USB 3.0 speeds, which max out at 640 megabytes per second on paper. Since SSDs are faster than spinning hard drives, our use of the T5 ensured that the speeds we measured weren’t hindered by the drive. We ran AJA System Test speed tests using the Samsung T5 Portable SSD (500 GB) to measure transfer speeds.
If you’re mainly concerned about connecting to your computer as many devices as you can, choose the Anker 10-Port 60W USB 3.0 Hub.
