UGREEN 10-in-1 USB-C Hub with NVMe SSD Enclosure, 4K 60 Hz, 100 W PD Input, 10 Gbps (55735)

Overview

The UGREEN 55735 is a 10-in-1 USB-C hub with a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD bay. Through one USB-C port on a laptop it adds an HDMI output at up to 4K at 60 Hz, four USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD card readers and a 100 W Power Delivery (PD) charging input, and it turns an NVMe SSD you fit yourself into fast external storage at up to 10 Gbps. The SSD is not included.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a laptop with few ports that needs a screen, wired internet, card readers and a large fast drive for video, backups or project files, all through one plug.
• For HDMI, the host USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode, USB4 video or compatible Thunderbolt output. A data-only port gives no picture.
• The SSD bay takes M.2 NVMe drives only, in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 sizes with an M-key or B+M key. SATA M.2 drives do not work.
• One external display only, through HDMI.
• Storage, card readers and USB ports share the host connection, so copying from the SSD and a card at the same time slows both.

Key features

• HDMI 2.0 output up to 4K at 60 Hz on a compatible host.
• M.2 NVMe SSD bay with a 10 Gbps interface, for 2230, 2242, 2260 and 2280 drives.
• Four USB data ports: one USB-A and one USB-C at up to 10 Gbps, two USB-A at up to 5 Gbps. The USB-C data port is data only.
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) for wired internet.
• SD and TF (microSD) card readers up to 170 MB/s.
• USB-C PD input up to 100 W, with approximately up to 85 W passed to the laptop.
• Power button for controlled hub and storage operation.
• Grey aluminium enclosure.

What else you need

• An M.2 NVMe SSD (not SATA) in a supported size; the SSD is not included.
• A USB-C PD charger and charging cable for laptop charging; they are not included.
• An HDMI cable and an Ethernet cable; they are not included.
• A host USB-C port with video output if you want to use HDMI.

Installation

Fit the SSD yourself: open the bay, slot in the NVMe drive and secure it with the installation parts supplied, then format the drive in your operating system. Check the small parts against the manual, since they can vary by regional carton. Eject the drive before unplugging the hub.

Before you buy

• SATA M.2 SSDs are not supported; the drive must be NVMe with an M-key or B+M key, in 2230, 2242, 2260 or 2280 size.
• The 100 W figure is the input; laptop charging is approximately up to 85 W.
• The PD charger, charging cable, HDMI cable and Ethernet cable are not included.
• The downstream USB-C data port does not output video or charge.
• Confirm the display and HDMI cable support 4K at 60 Hz if you need that mode.
