Dodocool DC30 7-in-1 USB-C Hub review: Affordable hub with passthrough power alongside three USB Type-A ports

<article>
   <section class="page">
<p>Dodocool’s DC30 7-in-1 USB-C Hub ($44.99 MSRP; $36 on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9MOMTL" target="_blank">Amazon[/url])  packs a lot of ports and desirable features into a handsome, robust small package that also modestly priced. The hub includes 4K HDMI, three USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) Type-A ports, SD and microSD slots, and passthrough power. The USB-C port can’t be used for data transfer.</p><p>It lacks a bit on the power front, which could affect your purchase depending on what you need to do with a hub or a dock. You can only plug in a single hard drive to the hub, and the entire hub maxes out at 900 milliamps (mA), which translates to 4.5 watts, whether for bus-powered devices or recharging an iPhone or other hardware. That might not be enough, but in such a compact space and at such a low price, that’s one of the tradeoffs.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3196424/computers-accessories/dodocool-dc30-7-in-1-usb-c-hub-review-affordable-hub-with-passthrough-power-alongside-three-usb-typ.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
