Recommendations

For reliable high-speed transfers, connect high-bandwidth devices (for example, external SSDs) directly to a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port and avoid overloading multiple high-power devices on the hub simultaneously. Use the included powered adapter when connecting several power-hungry peripherals to ensure stable DC 5V supply.
