SatechiUSB C Hub Multiport Adapter V2, with 4K HDMI, 60W USB C PD Charging, 3 USB-A, Ethernet, Micro/SD Card Readers, for MacBook Pro/Air & Windows - Space Gray

Excellent quality product that is easy to use. I used it to run Ethernet through my laptop c port. Recommended.

Works very well.

It worked fine until it didn’t. At exactly 12 months and a week I noticed my joystick that was plugged into the hub wasn’t working then I noticed the blue indicator light on the hub was out. I have a new M2 MacBook Pro and a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 both have Thunderbolt 4 usb-c but no ethernet rj45 ports and the new Macs don’t have usb-a ports anymore so a hub with these connections is mandatory. I’m waiting for a response from the manufacturer.UPDATE 3/1/24—— Satechi customer support had agreed to honor their warranty.I was informed that a new unit is being shipped to me. Because my example failed in such a short period of time I feel compelled to subtract one star from my review rating.It’s a unique design and as I stated previously because Apple has such a limited variety of ports on their new laptops these devices are indispensable.

After a scare with the hub seeming to brick the tablet. I got some professional help trouble shooting and got the tablet functioning again. USB and HDMI connections are working as advertised the USB-C PD port works but the charging speed varies between fast and slow.The hub gets quite hot, but the aluminum case seems to be working to dissipate the heat. The big issue comes when you try to use the ethernet port. It works briefly then ceases and then the settings app crashes and you will need to reboot the tablet. However once you shut it down it wont boot back up and you need to force start the tablet.

Better heat management than other products on the market

I got this mainly to have wired ethernet, USB-A and power delivery.The good:The USB-A 3.0 works fine.The bad:The power delivery is capped at 60w delivery, which is pretty low. A lot of reviewers complaining about their's getting really hot. That is because they are sending more than 60w through it and, laws of thermodynamics, the extra energy needs to go somewhere so the mechanism gets VERY hot. So you have to use a low power charger, which is pretty weak. 60w? really?The ugly:The ethernet port is useless on a Mac. And they market it as being made for macbook air/pro. But it will hijack your router and crash it.I got a faulty device originally that had this ethernet issue, but also HDMI did not work at all either. So went to exchange it for another within days of receiving the first one and I had to pay for shipping back ($17), which is a terrible policy to get a bad device and then you have to pay 25% more for the broken device to send it back so you can get one that actually works--works more at least, still doesn't work.Got the new device and HDMI worked, but same issue with ethernet. Did not work. Would work for a very short period and then actually screw up the router configuration. So no device on the network worked. This happened with both of the products I received. They completely crashed the config on my router.So I way overpaid for a device that doesn't work. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone in their right mind.

-Satechi products can't be beat in build and stability for my work environment going forward.-The connection is faster and superior than my last hub.-A plus is the mini HC slot-Super STABLE. No drops when adding or removing externals/SD drives. My last hub would kick off everything, every time I tried to plug in or remove an accessory or SD disk. I don't know if it was the connection to the mac or something in the physical build of that hub but this no longer happens with the Satechi.- Stable connection when MacBook sleeps. My externals rarely disconnect when I put my machine to sleep. I understand it is a Macbook Pro issue but it is down to about 2% whereas everytime I put my machine to sleep with my old hub, it would kick off my externals.- Direct connection for charging works. I can connect the Satechi and my external directly to my MAC with complete confidence while working. Something that the last hub would not do. The constant disconnecting of the externals disrupted my work flow, one was a scratch disk for Photoshop and when it disconnected, Photoshop would crash. It messed up my time machine backups that were in progress whereas I do not ever experience this with the Satechi while working.-Not a complaint of my Satechi but I purchased a new SeaGate drive that is ONLY recognized when it is directly connected to the Mac. It was not recognized by the old hub either. I was about to return the SeaGate when I realized I could charge my Macbook through the Satechi. My last hub could not be trusted to maintain a superior connection so I had software crashes often.I didn't buy a cheap hub last time but I wish I saw the Satechi hub in my search. I was new to needing a hub with my Macbook Pro's lack of connectivity and the unstable hub. This hub by Satechi is WORTH EVERY PENNY. I only wish they made a 4 USB slotted hub.

I'm using this USB-C Hub on a 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 ports. I have a lot of devices that require USB-A cables—several external hard drives and some digital audio devices (electric pianos/drum machines etc). This obviously helps a lot in that regard, but the main issue is the pass-through charging, which (as other users have pointed out) is simply not strong enough. My Mac requires 87 watts of power and I was getting 49 watts when using pass-through charging; it would stay charged when I wasn't not doing anything, but the moment I started doing anything that required even a small amount of processing power (browsing online, transferring files, using apps etc) I would see the battery slowly start to decrease. As a result, I'm forced to use one USB-C port for my actual charging cable and the other for this hub. Bit of a disappointment really, but otherwise the hub works well—the ports are solid without being too tight and it doesn't get too terribly hot when in use.
