How do you think about a USB-C hub with built-in SSD storage? Before I get the MINIX NEO USB-C Multiport SSD Hub, I never heard about it. A week ago, I got the MINIX NEO SSD Hub, which is an amazing product combining USB-C hub and SSD storage. Let’s check out the review.

Unboxing:

The MINIX NEO USB-C Multiport SSD Hub ships with a user manual and a storage bag.

Design:

The MINIX NEO SSD Hub comes with the high-quality aluminum material which is solid and light. The cable is made from white plastic. On the middle of the SSD Hub, there is a logo of MINIX. And it shows the SSD memory on the right corner. The SSD Hub has a LED indicator, which will show green light after connecting to the laptops.

There are some input and output details on the back side.

MINIX NEO SSD HUB is not only a storage, but also a multiport adapter. It comes with two USB 3.0 ports, a HDMI port and a USB-C port for power delivery only. It’s worth noting that the HDMI output port supports the resolutions up to 4K/30Hz.

There are two memory variants and color variants, which are 120GB/240GB and Silver/Space Gray.

In Use:

MINIX NEO SSD Hub exclusively supports for Apple MacBook, Apple MacBook Air and Apple MacBook Pro. Therefore, we tested the SSD Hub on Apple MacBook.

The speed of different storage capacity external SSD is different. The performance of 120GB SSD is that the reading speed is up to 365MB/s and the writing speed is up to 350MB/s. For the 240GB SSD, the performance is better, which is up to 415MB/s on reading and 400MB/s on writing.

The hub is always connected to a flash drive and a wireless mouse in our test. The wireless mouse use smoothly, and the data transmission speed is fast enough for daily use.
