Related: I try to buy Amazon Basics for a lot of items.



I bought an Amazon Basics USB hub. First I was generally happy, but after some time it would regularly just stop working for several hours. It's not that I was drawing too much power, typically just a security key or USB flash drive (and the hub had an external adapter).


Isn’t Amazon Basics just paid product placement?


That's "Amazon's Choice", which is a label you pay for that gets plopped on random bullshit. Amazon Basics is a brand that Amazon itself has had people design and manufacture for them. Not the same thing at all.


Aha, thanks! You’re right, I was getting those confused.


No.
