The brand Beelink surprise us today with a new HUB with integrated disk Beelink Expand F, in this device we have combined a USB Type-C Hub with several ports with storage for two hard drives.
Undoubtedly we are facing an interesting option for those who need both increase connectivity and have two storage unit in the same device, specifically a M.2 drive and a 2.5″ SATA disk, classic. This device surprises us with its design that reminds us of a mini PC in the Beelink design line. An ideal HUB if we only have one or two USB-C ports available and want to expand options. Thanks to the functions of this HUB we can use it by activating the storage or exclusively use its ports by pressing the front green button.
