What to know before buying

  • The listing describes the item as a two-pack and gives two ports and two items, but separately states a package quantity of 1. Confirm the selected listing's pack contents. Its electrical fields of 240 Volts, 0.5 Amps and 1.2 Watts are not clearly contextualised for this USB adapter. The stated 5 Gbps is a manufacturer claim, not an independently verified result. The manufacturer also says some named phones cannot use the adapter to read their hard drives and advises removing a phone case for a firm fit.

Who is it for?

A good fit for

  • People who need to connect USB-A peripherals to a USB-C laptop, tablet or phone.
  • MacBook Pro users who want small adapters that the listing says can fit side by side in adjacent USB-C ports.
  • Buyers wanting a two-adapter set for peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, printer or external drive.

Less suited to

  • Anyone who needs an adapter for USB-A host to USB-C peripherals, rather than USB-C host to USB-A devices.
  • Buyers relying on hard-drive access from the specific phone models the manufacturer lists as incompatible.
