Our take
This iXCC listing may suit a buyer who needs four standard USB-A data ports, a two-foot cable and the black housing described by the announcement. The row's historical ASIN is linked from the maker announcement, but Amazon's page could not be retrieved and no current offer was verified. Check the current product photos, color, host connector and power details before purchase.
A buyer who needs a basic four-port USB 3.0 hub and can verify the current host plug, power arrangement, color and revision before purchase..
Skip it when a confirmed host connector, external-power arrangement, display, network, card-reader function, or current exact Amazon offer is essential.

Full review: how the features affect your choice
What the features mean for you
A compact four-port expansion with a two-foot lead
The product announcement describes four USB 3.0 downstream ports and a two-foot attached cable, which makes this a straightforward expansion hub for a computer desk. The longer lead gives some placement flexibility compared with very short laptop-side dongles. iXCC also offered black and white versions; the frozen row specifies black, so a search result should be checked for the selected color before ordering.
Treat the 5Gbps figure as the interface ceiling
The announcement claims data rates up to 5Gbps and names the VIA VL812 controller. That is the USB 3.0 link-rate claim, not a measured transfer result. Devices on a hub use its upstream connection together, so the available bandwidth and actual speed depend on the host port, cable, devices and simultaneous activity. The available sources do not establish sustained multi-drive performance or a modern chipset revision.
Verify power needs for the attached devices
The archived Amazon title calls this a bus-powered hub, but the iXCC announcement does not state the power mode or provide an included-adapter list. That missing detail matters if several high-current drives or charging devices will be connected. Confirm the power markings and package contents on the exact current offer before using it as the sole power source for demanding peripherals. The announcement does describe voltage/current overload protection, but that should not be mistaken for an external power supply.
Do not expect display or laptop-dock functions
The sources describe four USB 3.0 ports and do not list HDMI, Ethernet, card readers, audio or USB-C Power Delivery. This is therefore a peripheral hub, not a one-cable docking station. If the desired setup includes a display or laptop charging, the USB port count alone does not make this model suitable.
Treat the old announcement and Amazon title as different evidence
The source is a 2013 product announcement, and its Amazon destination now returns a cache miss. It names a four-port USB 3.0 family and a VL812 controller but does not give a maker model number or settle the hub's power mode. The frozen title calls it bus-powered, which remains an unconfirmed clue rather than a specification. Search by the iXCC four-port VL812 description and compare the present item's cable, color, host plug and power labels with the saved record. The old row alone cannot confirm that a current offer is the same revision. The announcement discusses both four-port and seven-port products, but its Amazon link and the frozen row point to the four-port variant. Do not transfer the companion model's socket count or assume a current search result shares the same controller or enclosure. The release also mentions overload protection, which is a protection feature rather than evidence of an included power adapter or a per-port charging rating. If the hub must power several external drives, ask for a manual or photo of the selected revision that identifies its supply and port labels; the saved announcement does not answer those questions.
