    Ottimo prodotto:
    – Esteticamente gradevole e facilmente abbinabile con lo stile Apple.
    – Rialza il monitor nella misura giusta.
    – Le connessioni funzionano molto bene, cos come i lettori di card.
    Unica piccola pecca: la presa USB-C frontale non ricarica. Visto il prezzo, si sarebbe potuto optare per un doppio ingresso USB-C, in modo da poter fornire energia anche alla presa USB-C frontale.

    The stand works really well with my new 24″ iMac M1. It is a very well made product, even though a bit expensive, well worth it.

    My only issue is the earphone jack doe not seem to work with any airbuds I plug in – even in sound settings only internal iMac speakers show up.

    Der Satechi AluMonitor Stand Hub iMac silber sieht nicht nur optisch gut aus, er passt auch perfekt zum Mac. Da man die USB Eingnge des Mac schlecht zu erreichen sind, ist das die beste Lsung.
    Ich kann das Teil nur empfehlen.

    I found this hub while looking for a better USB hub. The bonus is that it raises the iMac just enough for a comfortable level. It’s also nice not to have to reach over the iMac in to connect and disconnect my USB cables.

    The stand arrived 2 days before it was due , so delivery was excellent. I was surprised the item arrived with just an address label on the stand box and no protective packaging! The stand raises my iMac 24″ just enough to allow ease of viewing the screen and enough for FaceTime meetings. Connection to my iMac was very simple, detach the cable from the underside of the stand and plug the USB-C cable into the thunderbolt port. I have connected 3 external hard drives to the Usb ports on the front and was able to read, transfer the contents of the drives between drives with out issue. The Micro SD drive is a bit fiddly especially when trying to eject the card. The stand is unobtrusive and fits neatly under the iMac. The stand is a bit pricey for what you are getting. Overall no issues yet with the stand, long may it continue.

    La base estticamente est hecha 100% para una Mac. Pareciera como si fuera fabricada por la misma marca.

    Me ha resultado muy til porque tengo puertos USB y SD al frente de mi iMac. Quienes tienen una saben a que me refiero.

    Entre los puntos buenos est el que los puertos USB A cargan tus dispositivos sin problema y que la velocidad de lectura de la ranura para tarjetas SD es bastante rpida.

    No es punto malo, pero lo nico que le falta a esta base para ser perfecta, sera que el puerto USB C tambin cargara tus dispositivos. Aunque entiendo que eso requerira conectarla a corriente y sumara otro cable y un adaptador de corriente.

    Bueno, bonito y barato. Lo recomiendo mucho.

    Got this to go with a new M1 iMac. Fully Meets requirements. Well built and nicely designed. It’s very convenient having some USB ports on the front. The new iMacs don’t have optical drives – the stand provides a perfect space for an Apple SuperDrive to sit under the iMac (Note that the SuperDrive has to be plugged directly into the back of the iMac. The Satechi hub doesn’t provide enough power through its USB ports).

    ealmente deberan haber tenido la opcin de comprar esto sin el HUB y / o venderlo con un HUB de mejor calidad. Insertar cualquier cosa en las ranuras USB se siente desagradable y rgido. Estar rgido en un soporte que soporta un iMac es un diseo muy malo.
    Sin embargo, el estante de metal est muy bien diseado y hecho. Pero, No se lo recomendara a nadie que quiera conectar dispositivos USB con frecuencia.

    Yes it costs a little more than some USB Hubs but this Hub is the perfect companion for my 27 inch intel iMac 2021. Solid build and providing those extra Usb (x3) and USB C (x1) Front facing inputs which makes for quick and easy access for external drives. I haven’t made a direct comparison of transfer speed differences against the rear inputs of the iMac but they are quick enough for my needs (certainly not slow by any means). The Front SD Card slot is also appreciated. No more searching around the rear of the iMac hoping you don’t scratch the aluminium as you try to locate a slot.

    I was looking for a decent way of providing some front facing USB sockets as well as a card reader for photos. (instead of having to move the monitor and blind insert) I considered the strap-on version but didn’t like the idea of part blocking cooling vents so went for this model.
    I am well pleased with the result as it raises the screen to a better viewing height and provides space for iPhone and even DVD or small drive.
    The construction is solid and it looks really good with all the slots performing as expected. It will charge phone or watch and even powers USB drives but not an iPad. (There is a small machining burr on the mini slot (see pic) but barely noticeable unless you look hard hence missing star)
    Price is on the high side but I am happy as some thought has gone into producing a high quality and useful product.

    Good looking, solid and useful

    Definitely takes the worry out of trying to plug in leads when slots are situated at rear of computer. (MAC).
    Having the presence of cable slots in full view and at the front of the MAC certainly speeds up work flow.
    Definitely recommend this unit to other MAC owners.

    Das Produkt ist toll, es erfllt seinen Zweck und passt noch ideal zum iMac 27 Zoll, aber auch zum 21,5 Zoll. Die Anschlsse sind leicht erreichbar und sehr hilfreich. Der iMac steht nun hher und ich kann entspannter auf den Bildschirm schauen. Auch der Service ist super. Ein USB A Anschluss war defekt. Man hat mir direkt ein neues Produkt zugesendet. Daher Preis, Leistung und Service 5 Punkte. Am
    Anfang dachte ich, 90 Euro, ganz schn viel. Ja, aber es ist jeden Cent wert. Wer nur eine Erhhung mchte, der sollte eventuell was einfacheres nehmen, aber die Anschlsse sind leicht erreichbar, man muss nicht immer hinter den iMac fassen und darunter kann man ein DVD-Laufwerk oder Wechsel und Backup Platten unterbringen. Der Schreibtisch sieht aufgerumter aus. Also 100% Kaufempfehlung.

    The stand looks like it was part of the iMac package. It fits perfectly and does the job brilliantly. It comes with a USB Type C connector the plugs straight into one of the two dedicated port on the back of the iMac. Along the slimline front panel are the inputs – three USB 3.0, one USB type C, one each of standard SD and Micro SD ports. The hub works perfectly and I paired mine with the ORICO Powered USB Hub 3.0 13 Ports USB Data Hub with Individual Switches and Indicators. Also available on Amazon.
    Highly recommended.

    Brilliant product that could be the perfect iMac accessory.

    Der Satechi ist zwar recht teuer, sieht aber hochwertig aus und ist wirklich stabil um einen i-Mac 27″ darauf zu stellen. Die Gummife halten mit dem i-Mac drauf absolut fest. Die Erhhung um etwa 4,8cm sind optimal fr den Schreibtisch. Der Anschluss per USB-C ist zeitgem, zukunftssicher und oft nicht bei den gnstigeren Varianten vorhanden.
    Die Ladefunktion an den USB-A Anschlssen funktioniert auch einwandfrei. Alles in Allem eine Langzeitinvestition, die sich lohnt. Und ein schlankes externes Bluray-Laufwerk passt auch prima drunter ! (Max. 2,5cm)
    Tip: Da Preissprnge von gerne min 10,- in kurzer Zeit, lohnt sich der Vergleich im Netz !

    If you’re looking for a desktop monitor riser, look no further than this riser from Satachi. The Satechi Type-C Aluminum Monitor Stand is pretty cool; looks good, works as expected, and doubles up as a hub for USB, Micro SD, and standard SD cards.

    When used as a hub, the transfer rates are acceptable. Please note, not all transfer rates are the same – computer speed, processing power, and hub transfer speed (both read and write) will be different for everybody. If you are experiencing slow transfer speeds, it may not be the hub.

    As for everything else, the hub works well and yes, I would buy another if required.

    At first glance, the Satechi stand seems very expensive but in reality it is really well made and highly functional.
    First, it is a well crafted piece of aluminium that equals the quality of the iMac itself.
    Second, connecting to one of the iMac’s USB ports, it provides 3x USB’s, 1x USBc, a headphone socket and a card reader, all conveniently on the front of the stand.
    Third, it lifts the iMac up by about 30mm which, for me, is a more comfortable height.
    In summary, a very nice addition to the iMac which looks and feels as if it were actually made by Apple. It even allows an Apple, or other make, DVD drive to sit neatly tucked inside.
    Well worth the money!

    Looks and function.

    As good as the iMac is, for me there are 2 fundamental design issues I have with the current iMac design:

    1. Lack of height adjustment
    2. Access to connection & expansion ports positioned on rear of iMac.

    This stand increases the height of the monitor to improve the ergonomics and provides easy access to additional ports at the front. The stand is subtle but blends in and it is the simple design that works so effectively.
    It’s a shame that Apple cannot or will not improve the iMac design, at least Satechi have designed a solution that looks good and works.

    Lo stand molto ben fatto con ottimi materiali. Esteticamente bello. Personalmente per, trovo scomodo avere le porte di usb, schede ecc davanti. Va bene ancora ancora con le penne usb piccole, ma con i hard disk esterni con il loro cavi, occupano troppo spazio davanti alla testiera e crea una confusione di cavi sopra la testiera. Questo problema per facilmente risolto girando lo stand in modo che le porte sono al fianco dx o sx. Questo in se non un difetto del prodotto, una esigenza personale. Ho messo 4 stelle invece di 5 per il seguente motivo: l’uscita audio per ospitare il jack della cuffia fornisce un volume altissimo, anche regolando il volume dal computer, il volume rimane assordante. Lo trovo inultilizzabile. Altrimenti un buon prodotto e svolge bene il suo compito.

    Love that it takes up very little space and the cord to the iMac can be tucked away cleanly in the back. It makes accessing the ports on the iMac so much easier. Be aware though that it doesn’t make sense to plug this into the USB-C port in your iMac since the max transfer speed of the stand is only 5Gbps i.e. USB 3.0. You will lose a USB-C port in your iMac if you do this. The good news is that the stand comes with the USB-C to a USB-A adapter. Also, note that the SD card reader on the stand is UHS-I speed and not UHS-II speed (as it is on the iMac).

    Overall, very satisfied with this stand as it raises the iMac just right and provides access to some commonly used ports.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIf like me, you find that the ports on the rear of your iMac are always full, then I’m sure you’ve had other USB hubs to provide you with those needed additional connection options in the past.
    The problem with most USB hubs is that you require two hands to insert and remove your media – otherwise it just slides around your desk, because the hubs are so light.

    With this Satechi hub stand, not only do you get an additional 45mm height elevation to your iMac, but now you have an extremely stylish well built hub that, because of the weight of your iMac, does not move around when using those ports. Some of you might already know this and not need convincing, but believe me, this is an efficient and tactile experience that really makes a difference.
    Regarding the ports themselves, no issues with the USB A / C ports. All nicely aligned and easy to insert/remove. It’s also nice to see spring-loaded SD and MicroSD card slots! However, my only critique of these SD slots is that my iMac does not register both SD card slots at the same time. It’s either microSD OR the [standard] SD card at a time (first-come, first served basis). Shame, because at this price point I would have expected better (I’ve had 15 USB/ multi-SD card readers that are able to read both SD & microSD formats at the same time). The other thing is, the micro SD card is totally flush with the panel edge when inserted – making it a little tricky to eject, especially without the use of fingernails. No problem with ejecting the standard SD card which sits approx. 3mm proud when inserted.
    There is as advertised, a 3.5mm headphone port also. Finally the only other feature on this stand is the whiteish-blue power light on the front panel. This LED is nice and subtle – not the ‘in-yer-face Christmas-tree light’ style brightness that some manufacturers think is necessary.
    On the underside of the stand, there are two cable clip runners that are screwed into the aluminium base. This allows for a neat cable storage.

    Overall, this is a stylish stand with a small desk footprint that compliments Apple’s aluminum cases and keyboards and there are no issues with stability or rigidity in supporting my 27″ iMac.
    Yes, it is expensive – although I did purchase this from an EU Amazon site (compared to the .co.uk site, which is why this review doesn’t register as a ‘verified purchase’), it was still a cheaper price including shipping (at the time). Always pays to shop around – even on ‘Amazon’.

    Based on the high-end price, the inability to read both SD card formats at the same time… and the stand’s unfulfilled potential, I give this 4/5 stars.
    If you’re going to use this as advertised then you need read no further. I would buy this again and highly recommend it.

    If however, you still prefer to have more connectivity options – especially the type of connections that are wired and ‘more than temporary’ that might look unsightly coming out of the Satechi front ports, then read on….

    _________________

    Perhaps I’ve understaded that I really love the look of this stand.. it should get 5/5 stars based on design, but I think Satechi missed an opportunity to fulfill it’s potential and provide further connection options at the rear (the space IS there!).

    Therefore I decided to install some further add-ons that DON’T require any internal rewiring or modifications to the existing hub. (Please note: This has been done for ‘connectivity’ reasons. Not for ‘charging’ or ‘high-speed’ reasons – which in terms of speed results, I have not measured).

    1) More USB ports. I have a printer, scanner, headphone amplifier, DAS devices, oldskool wired keyboard, photography equipment, etc. too many to name… You should never say no to more USB ports.
    2) I have some ancient NAS drives that are no longer connected to the network and I really needed additional ethernet (LAN) ports that my mac doesn’t have.

    Based on my requirements, I purchased two compact sized hub adapters and played around with the cable and connection layout with the Satechi stand. Be aware, some USB C ports might not work if the USB C connection is inverted. (Also, you should note that – as far as I’m aware, buying an aditional adapter/hub that features a ‘charging’ port, will not enable the hub to charge via that port when connected to the Satechi).
    Then once everything was in place, with a little bit of ‘Sugru’ (a mouldable silicone glue), stuck them to the underside of the stand… and voila! No cable clutter and all out of sight. Even from the side of the stand you do not see these hubs or their cables.

    So, in ADDITION to the front panel ports, I now have at the rear – 5x USB A ports, 2x USB C ports, 1x HDMI port, 2x LAN ports.
    Technically I loose two ports on the 1st hub – One port is for the Satachi cable (to create the chain), plus another port is used to connect the 2nd hub – an AmazonBasics adapter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07V5K6LSF) which incidentally, actually fits the underside curved wall of the stand perfectly.

    For me, this Satechi stand is now perfect – even though I may not think of a need for the HDMI port. But I am sure you could make some variations that could suit your needs better (there are plenty of different options for similar adapters/hubs out there) !

    Almost perfect!

    I evaluated several of these stands with built in USB hubs before deckling on this one and I am glad I did. I have it sat on a separate glass strengthened stand that as adjustable height ( I purchased this at the same time – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07GX3CLKX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

    This gives me a stylish minimalist look and functional mounting combination for my iMac 27″ desktop computer with easy from access to USB plug in devices and an adjustable height for comfortable working. An added benefit is that there is space on to store peripherals such as the mouse and also room to slide the keyboard under the glass stand on which this SATECHI plinth sits.

    As well as raising the iMac to a better working height, it makes 3 USB ports, a headphone output, an SD card reader which is significantly more convenient than where they are on the iMac. Well made, well designed, solid and looks match with Apple design.

    Exactly as described and a simple way to bring ports to the front of an iMac. Use the included USB C to USB A converter and you won’t wast a precious thunderbolt port.

    missfallen hat mir der Preis, aber das Rack ist natrlich sehr praktisch, der Bildschirm ist um 4,5 cm hher, gut fr die Sicht darauf, und vor allem die Anschlsse an der Front rechtfertigen dann schon irgendwo den Preis, da es schon recht fertig ist.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our Usersel nico punto en contra es que los puertos no cargan los dispositivos, en el puerto C est en el manual si puedes conectar mas no para cargar, y a veces en los usbs no cargan igual. pero en general bueno a secas.

    The monitor stand/hub makes the iMac much more functional, no more having to fumble blindly or tip or turn the monitor to find the slots needed fur using external drives, or thumb drives.
    Well worth the price.

    Monitor stand arrived very quickly. Instructions not really necessary. Gives an excellent eye to screen height. Recommended.

    Its awesome, just the little height boost you need. All the ports work and the finish is the same than the one from the iMac 27.

    Das Teil sieht edel aus und auf dem Tisch gibt es kein Kabelgewirr mehr. Vor allem kann man USB etc. ganz bequem von vorne anstecken und wieder entfernen. Das kriechen” hinter den iMac zum Anschlieen von USB-Gerten und/oder das einschieben einer Fotospeicherkarte entfllt. Auch hat man die anderen Anschlsse am iMac fr weitere Nutzungen frei, da nur 1 USB-C belegt wird. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

    Not sure how I lived this long without the stand previously. Total game changer; the elevation and accessory ease totally changes the experience.
