It supports SuperSpeed transfers up to 5Gbps according to the manufacturer and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.

Getting the most from it
Plug and play setup makes it straightforward to add to a MacBook or Windows laptop with no drivers required. Use the individual switches to conserve power and protect battery life on portable systems. It’s a practical, portable option if you value neat cable management and the ability to disable ports without removing cables.
