If you know that you will be connecting USB 3.0 devices and lots of them, the Atolla Powered USB hub is the way to go. This model has seven slots on top of the housing that each has power buttons so you can pick and choose which devices are connected to your computer at any given time. The Atolla also includes one smart charging port at the end of the device with a high enough power output to charge phones and tablets, bringing the total number of USB 3.0 ports to eight. 
The Atolla Powered isn't exactly ideal for traveling for a couple of critical reasons. First of all, the use of the included power adapter cord is required, so you need to be sure that you're near a wall plug. This model is also very bulky &mdash; some USB hubs are a fraction of the size. When you consider the added bulk from the power cord, this package takes up quite a bit of room in a laptop bag or briefcase. Still, if you know you want a large number of USB 3.0 ports and that you won't be moving your hub around much, we'd say the Atolla is a fantastic choice.

If you need a 7-in-1 USB C hub but don't want to break the bank, check out the QGeeM USB C. The ports included in this model are USB C, HDMI, SD, Micro SD, and three USB 3.0s &mdash; if that sounds like it would work for you, the QGeeM is probably a good bet. 
Our main complaint with the QGeeM is that it only has one USB C port, which would presumably be used for the power cord if your device only has one port on it. Other than that, we did find it to be relatively big and bulky when compared to other models with the same functionality. Still, if budget is an issue, this is a great choice.

The Best USB-C Video Cables and Adapters

Wirecutter

Satechi’s hub is the only one that transforms one USB-C port into four. But with middling transfer speeds and no support for video or charging, it is best for accessories like keyboards, mice, and backup drives.

This portable hub supports 4K monitors at 60 Hz over HDMI and has every other port you’re likely to need, all of which performed at expected rates in our tests.
