Pro Hub

I have a black protective case which I had to slightly modify on the left side by using a file. It needs to fit flush against the side of the laptop. So depending on what kind of protective case you have, you might need to make sure that it allows for the ENTIRE length of the device to fit flush against the Macbook. That being said, its space grey, matches the laptop which is amazing. It uses 2 USB ports, but has 2 USB-C ports, an HDMI out cable that works great on my 4k TV. It has 2 USB 3.1 ports, a memory card reader and a micro card reader as well so you don't need an adaptor for the mini ones that are the typical ones used today that have a 256GB or higher space. It was $99 when I purchased it, which was in my opinion pricey because of the other models available. That being said you get what you pay for. This is a GREAT product, looks sleek and was made for the MacBook Pro. I have the 2016 13" MacBook Pro with the touch bar, basically the best you could buy in the early summer of 2017. Soon after a new upgrade was released but the differences were only slight. I was so in love with my new MacBook and at how easily it was to port around and how quiet it was that I wanted to only put the best of the best on it. This is the best adaptor for the laptop. With USB-C on the macbooks you only get 4 ports, 2 on each side, so this totally takes up an entire side. Since the power cord is USB-C I was curious if you could charge only on one side (the right side but nope, left or right, you can simply plug in the device and then plug in the power cable to one of the two USB-C ports on the device. I have plugged in 2 USB 3.1 hubs and connected about 8 devices all through this hub and all worked perfectly. The HDMI out supporting 4k was pretty surprising. Now granted I have a mid level 4k TV, used a new HDMI cable but just for some reason expected a 1080p resolution but was surprised that it was 4k resolution, making the text on icons super easy to read. I could use my 65" TV as an extended monitor no problem. Though, I really don't but its pretty good if you want to play video. I use plex and I also use Apple TV (currently the 4 that doesn't support 4k), so its nice to plug in directly and get higher resolution as the apple TV is limited to 1080p and most programs can't transcode video from one format into 1080p in real time so they are usually 720p so the sake of your CPU. I use Stream2Me and Air Play HD on my apple TV along with Plex on my apple TV and the comparison between airplay is completely noticeable with the HDMI being much clearer. Even using 3rd party applications like Air Parrot 2, having a great wireless ac network, that covers my whole house, sometimes it's just easier to plugin an HDMI cable. I have used the HDMI out at several conferences and meetings and the fact that the HDMI input is located on the top makes it much easier. So nothing but good things to say about this. I would mention the issue with the cases and it needing to be flush. I will attach pictures showing what I mean.

Just got this after returning the similar HyperDrive USB-C hub. This one does not seem to have the issue with dropped wifi connection. To anyone that has that issue, keep in mind that it is the hub that gives off radio frequencies that interfere with 2.4ghz wifi. If you connect to 5Ghz, there shouldn't be an issue. Additionally, if you use the hub on the opposite side of the MacBook Pro, it should not be an issue. Again, though - I do not have that issue with this awesome product. I will be sure to update my review if anything develops, but for now its perfect. Sleek look, perfectly matches the color of the space gray. would definitely recommend!

This product is amazing. I was rather disappointed, as were most, when I purchased a $2700 MacBook Pro to find it only had Thunderbolt 3 ports. I knew this when purchasing the computer so it wasn't devastating but I had also already researched this product. This product not only resolved nearly all of my adapter/dongle needs, it matches the color of my Space Grey MacBook perfectly. It doesn't stick out much and fits rather solidly without any major issues. I, for one, have chosen to remove and add the adapter as needed, rather than leaving it on at all times. This makes my sleeve/case a non issue and this adapter is so small, it'll easily fit anywhere in my backpack. I only hope the adapter is rugged enough to sustain the adding and removing over time. I will update after some time to let everyone know if I encounter any issues. So why 4 stars? Well, I only wish there was an ethernet connection included in the adapter. While it's rather rare for most folks to need this functionality these days, I find myself traveling for business often and encounter situations where I need ethernet connectivity. Don't let this be a deal breaker by any means, this is strictly related to my own personal/business use. This is a great adapter and gives all of us Apple Nerds exactly what we are looking for to complete our purchase.

I bought this adapter back in the spring of 2017 for my brand new macbook pro and it works beautifully to this day! This product last and it's so perfect for travel. It does everything I need it to in such a compact form. The metal feels really nice and sturdy and Ive never had a problem with it slipping out of the port and I use this thing all the time. I did have to modify my Kuzy computer case a little to make it fit but I knew I would be doing that when I bought the case so that wasn't a problem at all for me. Might be a deal breaker for some people but I still highly recommend the adaptor! Also the device gets a little warm during use but it hasn't bothered me. The price also might be a little speddy for someone on a budget, but this adaptor was extremely worth the money!

Initially I did not have any issues with the hub. Then with time I noticed that it would only pass through charge with one port. I wasn't too shook up with the issue, as the other USB-C port works just fine for what I need. It was probably about a month in before I tried out the SD card reader, and no matter how many times I have tried, I cannot get my MBP to recognize the SD card. I can use the card on any other machine I own, but this hub just isn't allowing my laptop to see it. So now in order to edit photos on my laptop I have to copy the files to a thumb drive on a separate computer then import them on my Macbook. In addition, my usb keyboard must be reconnected anytime the laptop goes to sleep. It is incredibly frustrating. I honestly wish I was still within the return window when I found all of this out.

This USB hub/dock is made out of really high-quality material, feels solid and sturdy. However, it has been made apparent that I bought the wrong one for the Macbook my professor has (2015 Macbook) and I could only blame Apple for changing the port every 3 femtoseconds and implementing some proprietary connection which shares the same plug and socket type with other less compatible products then selling a very marked-up dongle thing (which is incompatible with this product due to it having two male USB-C type connector in a row) and myself for this blunder. But the silver lining is that when I brought this to someone who has the compatible Macbook, it worked flawlessly. I'm really satisfied with the quality of the item, but it looks like the actual intended user has to wait until he buys the compatible Macbook. Overall, I recommend this product, but if I were you, I would check if this product is actually compatible with the Macbook you or the intended user have/has before ordering. Especially ask for the year when the Macbook they are using is released.

This is the second USB C/Thunderbolt 3 hub I have bought for my 2016 15' MBP. This is probably the best solution on the market for the Touch Bar MBP for most people, but it still has some issues. Pros: - Space Grey matches well - Full power pass through charging with 2016+ 15" MBP - Card readers work well - USB A ports work well Cons: - Severe interference with wireless USB mouse adapter - Fit to computer is a little off, it angles down on one end - Card reader slots are tight, pulls whole dock from computer when removing cards unless holding it I really like this dock, but there is one con that I simply can't deal with right now. I have a Logitech M570 wireless track ball that does not work with this hub. When the wireless adapter is plugged directly in to the Satechi hub there is so much interference that the track ball barely works. If I could find a good bluetooth track ball then I would keep this, but the severe interference with the USB wireless adapter is a no-go for me. I will be sending it back.

Solid purchase. I have ordered this multiple times, always happy with the product.

Ob man die Umstellung auf USB-C bei Apples MacBooks jetzt mag oder nicht, mit diesem Adapter bekommt man auf jeden Fall die volle Konnektivität zu allen gängigen Anschlüssen zurück. Gerade für unterwegs perfekt. Auch das gleichzeitige Laden des MacBook Pros ist sehr praktisch (dies fehlt mir z.B. bei einem ähnlichen Adapter für mein MacBook). Wackelig sitzt der Adapter nicht und auch abzubrechen droht er nicht, sofern man nicht rohe Gewalt anwendet. Einen Stern Abzug gibt's für unterbrochene Datenverbindungen zu angeschlossenen Festplatten, wenn man ein einem andere USB Port etwas abzieht - passiert nicht immer, aber ab und an mal. Das sollte aber nicht so sein.

Been using it for months and working perfectly

Muito bom resistente e funciona bem

音楽制作（DAW・DTM）用途でのレビューになります。 安定性の求められるオーティオインターフェースの接続において、 私がこれまで試してきた物の中で、最も安定して動作します。 これまで使用していたHUBでは、複数のオーディオI/O接続の際、 ハングアップ、タスクの暴走に見舞われてきましたが、 このHUBに切り替えてから、全くそういったことがなくなりました。 （ほぼ毎日、10時間前後の長時間、連続で使用しています） また、デザイン性においても、質感も大変によく、価格との釣り合いの中で、絶妙なバランスを感じました。 多くのプロトタイプを制作した上で、削ぎ落としであろう本物のシンプルさと、 シンプルを求めたからこその、Satechiデザインならではの個性も感じます。 ただAppleに寄り添っただけ、というものではないように感じ、とても愛着が湧きました。 他の方が言及していた抜けやすいという点についてですが、確かに、Type-Aの仕組みからすれば、 Type-Cは抜けやすいという欠点はあるかもしれませんが、私にとっては、慣れの問題ぐらいに感じます。 しかし、私は、通常抜き差しをほとんどせず、SDカード類も使用しないという前提ですので、 もし、通常使用においてたくさん抜き差しをする方であれば、多少ストレスを感じるかもしれない、という点は同意できます。 ただし、それはこの製品に対して、というよりは、Type-Cのもつデメリットではないかなという気もするので、 業界全体の課題でもあるように私は思いました。 （少なくとも私にとっては最も肝心な、安定した高速接続という点において、満点以上でクリアしているので、多少のデメリットも愛着にすら思えるということもあると思います。） ともあれ、私はこれまで、長年、数多くのMac用アクセサリを試してきましたが、 数あるメーカーの中で、ものづくりに対してただならぬ熱意と愛情を感じるメーカーだと感じました。 普段あまりコメントをしないのですが、今回、敬意を評して、コメントさせていただきます。 ありがとうございます。

A well-engineered and quality accessory that blends in seamlessly on my MacBook Pro. It's quite expensive but you get what you pay for. It seems to do the job as advertised hence my 5-star rating.
