This adapter is excellent.It has all of the ports I need, works with the Apple M1 chips, and the ease of using it while traveling is excellent. It even has a cable that stores in the unit. Well done!
Used with my IPad Pro M1, opens up using multiple accessors while being able to charge at the same time.
I love i
Works as described, HDMI will put out 4K at 60hz.
Provides a versatile power, data and audio solution I require for a Live Music Gig Setup at the Dal Rae Restaurant in Pico Rivera on April 2nd, 2022. I’ve been using this for about a month now, but the picture is from last night.

The Satechi works flawlessly, and has earned a permanent place in my Live Music Rig for the foreseeable future!
Compr este HUB despus de buscar muchas reseas de marcas y tipos. Lo compr para usarlo con una MacBook Air M1 que acaba de comprar. Por mi trabajo necesito alta precisin en el uso del mouse y necesitaba varias entradas de usb, y VGA, al ver la cantidad de puertos me emocion al encontrar este hub y esperaba que todos mis problemas se solucionaran; sin embargo a pesar de que la conexin de mi mouse que es con USB funciona, es leeeento…. al momento de usarlo en otro monitor que est conectado a la laptop, cosa que no sucede si lo estoy usando directamente en el monitor integrado de la laptop. Gracias a Dios tena un dongle de Apple que tena conexin VGA y de USB y lo usaba directamente en mi iMac, lo conect a mi Macbook y cero problemas con l, eso quiere decir que no es la laptop es el HUB. Conclusin si no vas a usar un monitor externo o si no te importa que tu mouse se alente un poco al usarlo con otro monitor, adelante, cumple su funcin, pero si lo necesitas para alta precisin y rapidez, la verdad mejor compra el de Apple si es que lo usas para una Macbook M1
This USB C hub is really good. In my country, you cannot buy this and if someone sell this product, the price is insanely expensive, about $200. I’m impressed with the quality. All ports are working fine. You can use both SD cards and MicroSD at the same time. I have tried plugging in all the ports and it can handle it with no issues. People complaining about the HDMI is not 60Hz. For me, 60Hz is working fine and support HDR too (amazing!). The only thing is, the USB ports is only USB3.0 and 5Gbps. It will slow down my SSD speed a little bit but I’m okay with it. My mouse receiver dongle will lag and jump due to interference caused by USB3.0. So I will use another USB C to USB A converter for this. Lastly, the hub is not hot when using it. Overall, I can easily recommend this product to other people.
Perfecta para la nueva Macbook pro M1 Max, no se calienta, funcionan perfecto los puertos, muy contento hasta el da de hoy
When I got my 16″ MacBook Pro I needed to connect 3 external SSDs, 43″ 4K monitor and 1GB ethernet. I checked several hubs and docks and found this one, which has all I need at a fraction of the cost of Thunderbolt hubs/docks. This one is USB 3.0 which is fast enough for high data transmission to the SSDs, and still support a 4K monitor and 1GB ethernet connection. I have a had it for a few weeks now, and I am very happy with it. I used velcro tape to attach it to the back of my huge 43″ monitor, together with the SSDs and I just see just one lonely cable going to the back of my desk taking care of all my peripherals!. Highly recommended.
I got this usb c hub because it was what apple recommended and Best Buy tech so I got one on Amazon. They charged a larger price and it really worries me to pay more for something that I can get half the price on Amazon. I didn’t want to fry my port as some say I can do with other hubs, so I got this one . It is so nice, fast, and easy to use and looks like apple made it, the color match is wonderful. It looks like it would scratch easy so buy a case for it , but it is so fast and works flawlessly it mind blowing. So glad I got it, and it’s smaller then the picture showed so that was good to.
I’ve been using the Satechi USB C Hub Pro hub for 5 years or so and decided to get the On the Go for the ethernet connection. Using an iPad Pro to connect to an XR18 with USB and ethernet, and bluetooth midi to a couple of other devices, this is the best thing since sliced bread for my music performance setup. Light, small, and reliable. The only con, though, is that I had to purchase a separate power adapter to charge my iPad Pro. But definitely not a deal breaker.
Je m’en doutais l’achat, mais l’usb C prsent sur ce hub est plutt d’une ancienne gnration. Mes dbits avec disque SSD Usb C sont d’environ 380 mo/s contre 815 en branchement direct sur le mac. Cela reste acceptable mais attention donc si vous souhaitez avoir le maximum de dbit de vos disques.
Mon usage actuel sinon : J’ai branch un moniteur 2560×1440 AOC via HDMI, j’ai branch un cable ethernet pour la fibre : Je passe d’un WIFI de 400Mo 900+ de dbit top! J’ai aussi branch 2 rcepteurs usb-A un pour souris l’autre pour le clavier, jusqu’ prsent pas eu de soucis et j’ai branch un micro sur le USB-C avec un convertisseur USB-C vers A et cela fonctionne. Je n’utilise pas encore : La fonctionnalit de chargement du mac via le hub ni les cartes SD. Je n’ai pas vu de flicker de l’cran pour le moment, la qualit semble bonne, la fonctionnalit de cable de secours et le fait de pouvoir dtacher et avoir une cable USB-C long fut ma principale motivation d’achat pour ce priphrique. Pas de chauffe particulire, il est peine tide, mais peut-tre qu’en utilisant la fonctionnalit de chargement a le fait chauffer plus ? Aucune ide, bref quasiment parfait pour le moment, en dehors du fait que l’usb-C n’est pas trs vloce… Sinon pour info j’ai test de brancher un disque sur l’USB-C dit de charge, et le disque est tout de mme reconnu, cependant les dbits sont trs bas : 30mo/s normal me direz vous, mais a peut dpanner j’imagine pour brancher un petit priphrique non gourmand ? Je verrai dans le temps si le produit ne pose pas de problme.
Me gusto, el material parece resistente hasta el momento ha funcionado bien, el cable corto que viene dentro del mismo es solo para conectar disco estreno, memorias no para hdmi
J’ai flingu une carte mre de MBP 13″ avec un hub 50 balles (700de rparation) donc, clairement, mettre deux fois le prix pour avoir un produit srieux, c’est encore peu cher pay.
Avevo gi acquistato prodotti Satechi e devo dire che ancora una volta sono rimasto soddisfatto per la cura costruttiva ed il sevizio di assistenza. Costa ma vale i soldi spesi.
Hub completo e stabile. Non decisamente economico ma una volta provato sapete dove sono andati i soldi in pi. Consigliato
Only bought this recently. Been using it for a few days. Seems to be pretty good.
Produit conforme aux attentes de la marque Satechi. Qualit robustesse praticit.
Great tool to add various devices to my MacBook Pro 2019. I have a Nexigo Webcam connected all the time and a 512 GB MicroSD together with and external 4 TB hard drive. Works smoothly!
Amazing quality, has a charge-through port which inessential in my opinion. Extra long cable AND retractable mini cable provided. Worth the extra for peace of mind.
Lots of features, works very well and easy to transpo
Bin begeistert, hat alles was ich unterwegs mit dem MacBook Air brauche.
Preis/Leistung/Qualitt top.
Kann ich mir empfehle
I went to an Apple Store and asked which hub works best with Macs, and the store employee recommended this brand to me, explaining that he’s never had trouble of the hub getting hot.
So while it cost a lot more than other brands, I decided to try it out, and I’m sure glad I did. While this hub gets slightly warm to the touch, it’s nowhere close to the alarming level of heat my past hubs generated. I feel safe plugging my devices while I work. It’s worth your money.
I only have this adapter for a couple of weeks but am delighted with it so far. The facilities on the sites where I work vary so I regularly need to switch from cable to cable (including VGA) and this adapter allows me to do that without having to lug a selection along. A game changer for me.
Device is very good, the provided USB C cable though does not work properly with a Logitech combo case+ keyboard. Had to use another cable to connect it to the iPad.
So far this is better than the previous vendor unit I purchased last year which began to not recognize certain ports any longer. This unit does not get hot like the other one either. Quality is nice and I like the on the go additional cable (nice feature). I have not had this very long but so far very happy.
This is a great little dock for the iPad or even a MacBook Air. It comes with a 1m cable and has a nice 6in cable that tucks inside of the dock when not in use. It’s got the ports you needs USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet and even a VGA port. It’s got SD card readers and 3 USB-C ports.
It’s great to be able to use this to hook up an ipad to my tv or monitor when I don’t have airplay. Or for a projector at school or work for a presentation.
There are cheaper docks out there but this sturdy aluminum build and reliability will be hard to match at a cheaper price.
One has to buy such equipment for connectivity with newer MacBook laptops. I find it very useful. It fulfils my needs. I would recommend it.
Voici un hub USB-C proposant une gamme complte de ports, notamment un port Ethernet Gigabit (qui manque souvent dans les modles de la concurrence). Son prix est assez lev (presque 100 ce jour) mais l’ensemble est la fois lger et solide, avec un intelligent cble court intgrable au corps de l’accessoire — ce qui est trs pratique en dplacement, d’autant que le fabricant nous livre aussi un second cble bien plus long. Bref, cet accessoire est hautement recommandable, notamment en voyage. C’est un article qui devrait satisfaire la majorit de ses utilisateurs, en particulier si ceux-ci l’utilisent sur un Mac portable.
The easiest way to plug into my MacBookAir anything I need
So far it has been amazing to use. Very small to bring with in a laptop bag. The small usb C cable that comes in the compartment is very very convenient.
KILLER FEATURE: THE EXTENDED CABLE
The choice of standard and extended cable, both replaceable, sets this hub apart for me.
Using the extended cable, the hub can be placed inside a cable tidy box, leaving only a single cable out that goes into the computer.
This makes the desk much neater than it’s possible with conventional hubs that only have a short, non-interchangeable cable, and therefore hang on the laptop’s side.
CORE FUNCTIONALITY
Everything “just works”, flawlessly, for my home office with full-time video calls.
The laptop charges at full speed with the passthrough power delivery functionality.
My setup consists of the following.
Direct connection:
* Macbook Air
* 65W USB-C Charger
* 100W USB-C power cable
* 4K Monitor via HDMI
* 400 Mbps internet via ethernet cable
* External SSD drive (USB 3 type A)
Indirect connection, through a secondary, daisy chained USB 3 type A hub built into the monitor:
* Full-HD webcam
* wired mouse
* Wired keyboard, occasionally
* External USB microphone, occasionally
This leaves me with spare connectivity, which I have already tested and is just there ready to use when I need it:
* two free USB 3 type A ports on the monitor
* one free USB 3 type C port on the hub
Everything works perfectly by connecting the single extended cable that comes with the hub.
BUILD QUALITY
Single block of aluminium, pleasantly solid and satisfyingly well made.
I only wish the specs of each port were labelled more clearly.
LIMITATIONS
* The USB 3 ports, both the two type A and the one type C are “only” 5 Gbps instead of the full 10 Gbps USB 3 capability.
* None of the USB 3 ports can charge other devices, although they can drive low consumption devices, such as a high-end webcam, with no problems.
* Not all specs are clearly specified for each port, one has to scan the product page and ask questions to find that info.
* The labels on the port are very difficult to read, when they are even present.
* The VGA port is completely useless in 2021, why anyone bothered adding that is anyone’s guess.
* There is no Thunderbolt capability, only plain USB 3, so no USB type C monitor connection, and no ultra high-speed data transfers, for those who need that level of performance.
CONCLUSIONS
I confidently recommend this hub to anyone for a complete home office setup.
It provides everything that is needed for a home office, with some capacity to spare. At this time, June 2021 there is no need to spend over 250+ on higher end docks if all one does is home office (even an intensive, fairly demanding one.)
My previous setup was based around a 15″ MacBook Pro mid 2015, and a few weeks into this single-connection setup, able to provide all the functionality I need is still a novel and exciting experience for me.
Cet adaptateur hub USBC est un indispensable si vous avez un MacBook. Le prix est un peu dconcertant mais c’est vrai que si vous achetez chaque adaptateur part, celui-ci est clairement rentable.
En effet il contient un port USBC PD, une sortie HDMI, une sortie VGA, ethernet gigabit, port de donnes USBC, deux ports USBA, port pour carte micro/SD. Je pense qu’avec tout cela il y a de quoi faire.
Cet adaptateur est d’une excellente qualit cela se ressent la prise en main et lors de l’utilisation.
Me parece un producto excelente y verstil, cmodo de llevar y en mi opinin el complemento perfecto de iPad Pro.
La construccin me parece de excelente calidad, tiene todas las conexiones que necesito en un slo dispositivo.
Un Hub qui impressionne par sa qualit, tout en aluminium, avec un cble USB C intgr dans le botier (bien pens)
Ce hub est trs complet, il a comme fonctionnalits, HDMI et VGA, 4 K, internet 1 GB, 2X USB A, USB C , USB C PD 100 W, lecteur SD et micro SD, plus un cble d’alimentation de 1 m. Seul manque un USB 3, mais avec l’USB C Data transfert est-ce bien ncessaire ? Peut-tre un deuxime HDMI ou VGA pour un deuxime cran.
Je trouve le prix tout fait correct pour cette qualit et toutes ces fonctionnalits, tout dpend les besoins de chacun.
Cette station d’accueil HUB me satisfait bien. Elle remplit parfaitement le job, sa polyvalence permet de rpondre toutes mes attentes. Produit lgant et bien pens pour une utilisation perso.
Je n’ai eu aucun problme actuellement. Dtection immdiate.
Ct professionnel, il me manque juste un deuxime port VGA pour basculer sur 2 crans.
Le prix ne me choque pas. Qualit tant bien l, c’est mritant.
Dopo l’acquisto ho riscontrato un problema sul dispositivo e ho segnalato l’anomalia all’assistenza Satechi. La loro risposta, reattivit e risoluzione del problema stata esemplare. Devo fare i complimenti alla Satechi per la qualit del prodotto e la qualit dell’assistenza clienti. L’adattatore 9 in 1 perfetto, leggero in alluminio con due cavi in dotazione.
5 stelle sono poche Satechi merita la lode.
Consigliatissimo.
I have a 2020 16″ MacBook Pro and have tried a number of hubs that could offer what I was looking for: under $100, ability to charge independently or with power through, USB A ports, HDMI and SD card slot. Biggest thing was ability to extend to my 34″ Acer monitor quickly and cleanly. Among others, VAVA was so slow to get monitor to respond (sometimes over a minute). HyperDrive was a little better but don’t like the fact it needed 2 of the 4 USB C ports to do so. But this little guy did the trick and so far couldn’t be happier. Monitor extends and pops on within a few seconds, charging my laptop happens with my own charger plugged into it, and has the ports I needed. Inclusion of VGA seems odd, but I guess trying to appeal to what, the old school corporate projector crowd? And I have no need for ethernet (why is this on EVERY hub sold??). Solid, compact design, nice long detachable cord (as well as an extra short one), so as of now, the clear winner in the sub $100 usb-c hub crowd. Glad I finally found one that worked without forking out over $200 for a more robust desktop version.
Satechi makes some of the highest quality accessories, aimed at the Apple ecosystem. This USB C hub is a perfect match for the current Macbooks and it matches the space gray color option. The build quality is equal to Apple laptops, with an aluminum unibody design. This has pretty much everything you need to turn your laptop into a desktop, or just connect older peripherals.
This is not a Thunderbolt dock, it’s a USB C hub. This can only support a single external display, but the M1 Macbooks can only support 1 external display, so that’s not a huge deal. It’s worth mentioning because it has both an HDMI and a VGA port. You can you both, if your computer supports it, but not independently, so they would have to be mirror images of each other (the two external displays). The HDMI supports 4K/60Hz and VGA supports 1080P/60Hz.
For USB ports, you get 2x USB A or standard USB, 1x USB C for data only, 1x USB C for supplying power to the hub and the computer (up to 100 watts via Power Delivery, but that includes 15 watts needed to power the hub itself). Then you get a Micro SD slot, full size SD card slot, and Gigabit Ethernet.
There is also a full featured USB C port that is used to connect directly to the computer with one of the two included cables. One is short and slides into the hub to save space, and the USB C cable is longer. I love that they include both of the options. They are both high quality USB C 3.1 gen 2 cables.
The USB A ports are 5Gbps, 3.0 ports. They support a power draw of up to 900mAh for devices connected to them like keyboards or mice. I can’t find any info about the USB C data port, I assume it’s the same 3.0/3.1 gen 1 speed.
This hub also works well with other laptops that support charging and video out over USB C. I tested it with a Windows device and everything worked perfectly. This is intended for Macbooks, but there is nothing about this product that will conflict with computers made by another brand. This is perfect for taking with you everywhere, the all metal design makes it extremely durable and it’s small enough to fit inside a laptop sleeve. I highly recommend it and I think it’s worth the price since it will last much longer than a cheaper plastic hub with less I/O.
Amazing usb c hub
A little expensive but works better than cheaper brands like anker and aukey that have faulty connections.
I wish it had one more usb A port though
I love that it can be portable and also it also comes with a long usb C cable C so I can set the hub anywhere I want and not just close to the laptop.
I used this adapter on my 2018 15″ MacBook Pro with an internal SSD drive. I should note I use my computers for graphics in Illustrator and photo editing in Photoshop, not videos.
I recently had one of my iMac’s die so I tired my MacBook Pro with an old 20″ external Dell (VGA) monitor as well as a new Visio 24″ HD smart TV (HDMI).
The HDMI worked great with the Visio at 60 MHz but due to the TV image quality being too dim with limited color adjustments, it was not desirable. I then switched to the old Dell monitor. I had to use the VGA cable connected to the VGA of this adapter. Amazingly it connected immediately and resolution was good. I also purchased a VGA to HDMI adapter to see if there would be any difference. There was not so I went back to the VGA alone.
I have other adapters and tried the HDMI on one of those. It worked at first but shortly failed due to the monitor not receiving output from my laptop. I do not have that issue with this adapter.
Since my MacBook uses USB-C alone I was able to test my external Samsung SSD T5 for transfer speeds both with a direct connection and through this adapter. A 2.7 Gb file through the adapter took 90 secs. I did this four times. A 1.3 Gb file took 31 secs and remained the same after four tries. I then connected my SSD directly and the same 2.7 Gb file took 5 secs. At no point did I experience any file transfer errors. Using both USB-C plugs resulted in identical times.
All other ports worked as expected, even the ethernet. The small USB-C cable is nice but too short for my usage. I use the longer cable which is a handy addition most adapters do not provide.
Bottom line, this adapter provides pretty much all one needs tor a variety of devices.
PROS:
– Compact multi-port design.
– Additional long USB-C cable.
– VGA connector for older devices.
CONS:
– Slow transfer speeds.

Son originalit est dans son cble Type-C plat escamotable, c’est vraiment intressant, surtout en voyage, pas de cble encombrant.
Il est fourni quand mme avec un autre cble de 1 m.
Ce qui m’embte un peu, pour le prix, il lui manque un port USB-3, ce qui aurait fait 3 ports USB. Deux ports USB, je trouve que c’est juste.
Manque une fiche audio.
Autrement, il est pourvu de VGA, RJ45, HDMI, Type-C PD pour la charge 100W, lecteurs de cartes mmoires SD et MicroSD.
Donc pour conclure, manque un port USB-3, et le prix par rapport la concurrence avec des Hub10 en 1 moins chers, cette marque SATECHI je trouve qu’elle a des prix levs.
Il est super pratique avec tous ses ports bien placs.
La qualit de fabrication est excellente avec boitier en alu.
Inclus dans le boitier, il y a un cble extractible court et dtachable qui s’extrait en tirant dessus.
Et l o a fait la diffrence avec tous les autres boitiers de ce type, c’est le cble d’alimentation trs long qui est galement livr avec !!
Mon PC est pos sur un support lev, puis un plateau de ventilation.
De ce fait, le HUB grce son long cordon USB ne pendouille pas et ne force pas sur le port USB du PC comme le faisait mon prcdent.
Pour utiliser ce HUB sur mon PC portable, j’ai d y installer dessus un adaptateur USB A mle vers USB C qui doit tre branch dans le bon sens sur le port USB C sous peine de ne pas fonctionner.
Tout fonctionne parfaitement, un vrai plaisir.
Donc trs satisfait de ce HUB pour ses 9 possibilits de branchements et sa trs bonne qualit de fabrication, ainsi que son cble d’alimentation dtachable et trs long.
Je recommande
J’espre que mon commentaire sera utile votre dcisio
2 big differences from all other hubs motivated me to purchase this:
Detachable cable _ not just one, but two.
One short one stores in unit, another long (about 1 meter) one is provided.
+USB-C data port – much more convenient and faster – don’t have to find a USB-C to USB-A cable, most of my cables are USB-C to USB-C
Well designed and made. Aluminum construction. Works well. No issues.
Have not had a chance to try everything out yet. Amazon sent me an email asking me to review it. So far I am very pleased with it.
The only thing missing is power. A dedicated power cord would have nailed this as perfection.
Of the 4 USB-C hubs/docks I’ve purchased this is the first that I’ve had no issues with.
Just the detaching cable for this price point along is worth the extra money.
The dock I got for home has USB-C and DP connector issues, the other hub I got with a fixed 6″ USB-C cable has a flaky USB-C connector. This is the first that has been plug’n’play on my MBP 16″ and 32″ monitor.
I only tried it once, and the outbound USB-C won’t chain a monitor (but that could have been me), but, for the price point and the no-hassel nature, it is so worth it.
