Me, too. But I don't understand what the power ratings mean for the hub. Do they power pre-amps, webcams, headphones up to the listed value, or does that value relate to the device charging ports? I think the power supplied by the motherboard to those ports is limited so too many devices cause one or more to fail to be powered.
They write reviews based on actual tests and they explain their testing methodology for power output, data throughput/bottleneck, etc. I saw a Sabrent and Anker hub listed in their top 10 list.
The Sabrent is USB-A, the Anker is USB-C apparently for Apple products. Thanks, Rich
