Testing USB Hub Throughput | HackerNoon
Briefly

After purchasing several USB hubs advertised at 10 Gbps, I conducted performance tests to verify their actual throughput. Historically, I've encountered issues with USB devices not meeting their declared speeds, which has negatively impacted my work processes. However, in recent tests, the USB Hub 4-in-1 and the 7-port hub both delivered speeds close to their specifications, achieving throughputs of 8.2 Gbps and 8.4 Gbps, respectively. In contrast, the USB-A to USB-C adapter performed below expectations at 3.7 Gbps. This experience has been more positive compared to previous USB device tests.
Most USB devices failed to meet their advertised speeds, impacting workflows. Testing different USB hubs, I found some meet their specifications well.
The USB Hub 4-in-1 tested close to 10 Gbps, delivering 8.2 Gbps, while the 7-port hub also nearly achieved its claimed speed with 8.4 Gbps.
The USB-A to USB-C adapter, however, only delivered about 3.7 Gbps, indicating variance in performance across different USB-related devices.
Overall, I was fortunate this time, as the devices purchased provided speeds in line with their advertised capabilities, unlike past experiences.
