I ordered the usb 3.0 version, but what i received only works as usb 2.0, which is much slower. after i contacted the seller, he quickly edited the listing and removed any mention of usb 3.0 — clearly not very honest behaviour. in the end, aliexpress refused a partial refund and gave me only one option: ship the dock back to the seller for a full refund. given the cost of shipping to china, that offer is simply a refusal to refund.
