UGREEN 9-in-1 USB-C Hub Review
★ 4.5 · 30,190 Amazon ratings🎯 Best for Work
Why it wins
For about $10 over the Anker it adds the two ports that matter on a desk: Gigabit Ethernet and a second display output. Video calls over Wi-Fi are a gamble you don't need to take, and the wired jack here is the cheapest insurance policy in tech.
Who it's for
The desk-docked worker — laptop in the same spot every day, monitor on an arm, calls all morning. Travelers should take the smaller Anker; this one's extra ports earn their bulk only if they stay plugged in.
How it holds up long-term
UGREEN's hubs have quietly become the r/UsbCHardware default recommendation, and the long-term threads back it up: the Ethernet port — historically the first thing to die on cheap hubs — holds up here. It runs warm under dual-display load, which is normal; hot is not.
Watch out for
The VGA port shares bandwidth with HDMI, so dual-display mode drops you to 1080p on both. And max charging passthrough assumes your charger has headroom — pair it with at least a 65W brick.
Pros
- ✓ Dual display support
- ✓ Gigabit Ethernet
- ✓ Wide compatibility
Cons
- ✗ Slightly bulkier
- ✗ Needs PD host for max charging
What Reddit says
“Users question the relevance of 900mAh power delivery to a SATA SSD's performance, but acknowledge the device can connect and work with their chosen SSDs.”
