Make sure to check farm hours… If they have 30k+ or even 20k+ i would be weary of their lifespan left

There is a 50% coupon which brings it down to 19.99, seems pretty decent for a hub with PD, HDMI and 10gbps ports.

Zyron chargers aren't that good quality, from what I've seen and used. Anker has been solid for me.
