This is one of the best produced reviews I've seen. If you continue with regular/weekly uploads you'll blow up. I subbed. Looking forward to the next vid.
It’s 2024. I’m just catching up lol. I bought a 2nd hand 2018 MacBook Pro & after much researching, settled in this hub. I’m so glad I put in the time & happy to have found this video as sweet confirmation. Cheers from 🇦🇺
I got one with 4k60 and built in SSD. Incredible device! Another powered hub into that, and all my connections go through one port, charging, storage, screen, usb's... let's hope it keeps working!
I use it and I like it. I even connect it to the power supply sometimes to charge my iPhone with USB 2.0 port. It works with perfect 4k, reads the cards and is really very useful. I love it.
hi, sorry if i missed it but will this power multiple external hard drives? or in general using multiple USB A devices, and what the limitations are? thanks!
Satechi Mulitport Adapter V2 I have a Macbook Pro 16 Max and when I plug this product into my mac, without anything else plugged into the “hub”, it gets really hot? Why is that happening? ( There is literally nothing going on with the “Satechi Multiport Adapter V2”, it’s all empty ports and it gets hot ) Plus when using it for all day, when I unplug it at night, it kind of shows “electric spike”, or whatever you want to call it, can it damage the laptop? I am really confused?
Im having trouble with many hubs. I found problem that is very annoying. You have to plug hub firstly and then charger. In other way hub wouldnt charge your macbook. Is this hub having same problem? Or you can plug charger into hub and then into macbook?
Agree with previous comments - excellent video production. I actually own this hub but was interested to hear another opinion. You made me want to go buy a 2nd one! (but I didn't; it's not a cheap one)
Yo, I got the new MacBook Pro m1 2020, there's a lot of people saying that charing through the usb-hub has fukkked up their computer. Do you have any idea if it's true?
Thanks for the great guidance . Sir,I have 3 Questions : 1. Can the same USB hub which is used for Windows /Mac book be used also for Android tablet and mobile ? 2. Can I connect Samsung Galaxy,which has 45 Watts Charger, with 100 Watts USB Hub or only Tabs/mobiles which has similar Watts for smooth function ? 3. Do I need to give extra charge to USB hubs when connected to TAB/MOBILE (like built in battery or power through a charger),because Mobile/Tabs have less power than Laptop, to give charge to the USB Hub ,when it connects to mobile /tablet ? Thanks for expected reply.
Yea. Exactly. Rest of the internet says 4k @60hz. Looks like its key feature. Did the reviewer test 4k? Did he accidentally get a V1? Or did we simply misunderstood the marketing texts? Anyone tried 4k@60hz with the V2?
Are these compatible with Macbook Pro 2018 15" (Big Sur)? And also, do you need to download a driver in order to use it properly? Thanks a lot! Great video!!!
I just purchased an Elgato Cam Link capture card. I have a MacBook Pro with only the "C" ports. I actually have a Satechi Type C multi-port adapter. My camera works while connected (for Zoom meetings) but I haven't really tested for a long period of time. With my camera attached and running could I steam for over an hour without any issues?
I think it's also important to note that this hub only support '30hz' output at 4k. This makes animations look less smooth and to some, choppy. This is a deal breaker for me. 60hz is so much smoother and very fluid.
Hi I have had this hub for 2 years and now the cord is not staying connected at the hub itself. I have to put it in the right position for it to connect now and turn the light on. Very frustrating did not expect to have to repurchase at 2 years.
Hi can you tell me which is the best one for my ipad pro 12.9 2015 1st generation ? I want to be able to export and import pictures from my digital camera and able to connect my sisters android phone to my tablet.
Hello I just saw ur review and it's amazing but I want ask you do you think that this hub could handle the use of 2 HDD each one 2TB and an HDMI cable plugged into it ? I really need to know and sometimes I need to plug all of these cz I need it for editing and thanks a lot
Thanks a lot for the great review! How has it held up since your review? Also, I think you would really benefit from adding an amazon affiliate link in the description, think a lot of people bought one!
Many thanks for the review mate!! I just grabbed one of these for my brand new 2022 I-Mac desktop since I have only 4 USB C ports and I want to hook up my #KRK Studio monitor speakers so I went with this #Satechi🤘🤘
wow, exactly what I needed! great video. one question, does the usb cable fit tightly in the macbook? my hub gets easily disconnected when i move the macbook on the desk
There is another model of Satechi without ethernet port BUT the HDMI one works @60 Hertz. The one you gave us this (superb) review works @30 Hertz. Would you consider give us your experience with an external monitor at this refresh rate of 30 Hertz? Thanks in advance
Great video production! I have a question i hope you can answer. I've been researching quality type c hubs for awhile now and the satechi seems like a solid choice. Would this device be suitable for transferring microsd files to a mobile phone? (Specifically Samsung Note 9) Thanks and keep up the great video production!
hey, I just bought my first mac!! super excited and really love your video here!!! I was wondering if you would maybe do a video about the best mouse for a MacBook Pro please? I am quite comfortable with the trackpad, but kind of missing having the mouse when I am sitting at my desk LOL
Hey, thank you for the great review! my question is, I'm using it for almost a year now, and it works perfectly all the time, my question is how to reduce the overheat? I use all the ports intensively, and it always overheats, I'm afraid it will cause damage later on. Thank you and looking forward for the advice!
Hey, Love the video keep up the good work! question though- what's the read speed on the sd and micro sd card slots? I wanna buy this for my 2018 MacBook Pro and that's the biggest deal breaker for me
I can only test it with the fastest SD card I have which is a Sandisk extreme 90MBs. Write speed is ~45MBs, Read speed is ~92MBs so I believe the SD card slot supports up to UHS-I speeds
It's hard to accept this hub as the ideal/best hub for MacBook Pro 15 as the hub can deliver only 49W to the Mac whereas the Mac itself can accept 87W with the included charger.
That's a good point. This one offers 60W (USB-C Hub 6-in-1: amzn.to/2BDuvFC) and this one offers 100W (USB-C Hub 7-in-1: amzn.to/2V5er6U)... check em out if you want.
I'm not following why you wouldn't connect several portable hard drives? Either those are USB 3.0 ports or they aren't. If they are 3xUSB 3.0 ports you should be able to connect 3xportable hard drives... or even more if they run in USB 2.0 modes too.
The ports can supply full USB 3.0 capabilities but when it comes to power output to those devices it depends how many you have connected to the hub and if they require more power than the hub can supply. If the hub can’t power all the devices at once, they get ejected from the computer.
@@TechKnot USB 3.0 ports are rated at 900mA and your average portable USB 3.0 drive pulls 500mA to 900mA depending on what mode it's running in. If the USB 3.0 ports on the hub cannot provide 900mA of power then they just AREN'T USB 3.0 ports. Externally powered hubs get away with it because they provide the full 900mA when they are plugged in. However, since this is an unpowered hub it MUST provide the 900mA directly from the bus. This wouldn't be hard as there is 5A coming straight from the thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port. I honestly think you should run this test if you're going to make the claim because guessing about such an important issue isn't a good idea at all. I regularly connect 4 x 2TB portable HDs to 2 x unpowered hubs connected to my old macbook air 2015's 2xUSB 3.0 900mA ports. I don't see how this would be any different.
@@petercohen3966 You have to remember that this hub is capable of more than just USB and that not everyone has a MacBook. The power from the computer is used for all the ports in the hub. This includes HDMI, 2 SD card readers and the ethernet port. As I stated in the video, when ALL are used at the same time there is a risk of using up all the power the usb-c port can supply, which is why I don't recommend it.
@@TechKnot none of which would exceed the 5A rating of the Thunderbolt 3 port. Even with 3 hard drives connected there's still 2.9A left over to go to HDMI (max of 900mA) and leaving another 2A for ethernet (max of 500mA) and card readers (around 50mA). I think you are misinforming people if you aren't doing the actual tests of connecting devices. Guesswork isn't helpful. Especially since it's quite probably that someone with a Thunderbolt 3 (USB 3.0) port might indeed connect up everything, including 3+ portable hard drives.
Good Video. I bought a UNi Hub from Kickstarter. While its just great my issue is with HDMI. If I use HDMI cable then I do not get all resolutions on my external 4k Monitor and even if I manage to get it, it's not crisp. The only way I can make it work with my monitor is to use display port to USB C (display port to mini display port on my old Macbook 2015 model). So now my one cable dream is shattered and using 2 cables :)
I got mine for my fairly new 2018 MacBook Pro Vega 20.....and have had one bad recurring issue. It takes good 4 min for the ports to activate (I have Logitech mouse and an external keyboard), meaning that for the first 5 min or so nothing works even though the blue light is on.If I disconnect the hub and reconnect....the same problem all over again. I called the company, and they were gracious enough to send me a new unit but I still have the same issue.

Thanks! I’m trying to get a schedule going now so videos should come out more frequently.

To those who only have limited time - the review starts at 1:42.
Also, if you're into playing games, take a shot every time I say 'usb-c' 😂
Bro. Why you stopped making videos? You gotta make more my guy. Next video - JBL Charge 4 Review. Keep up the good work!
What an incredible video! I loved the way you introduced the product.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time.
Btw thank you for the information
Very well written and delivered review. No faf straight to what you want to know. Well edited. Take a bow 👌
I got one with 4k60 and built in SSD. Incredible device! Another powered hub into that, and all my connections go through one port, charging, storage, screen, usb's... let's hope it keeps working!

Satechi Mulitport Adapter V2
I have a Macbook Pro 16 Max and when I plug this product into my mac, without anything else plugged into the “hub”, it gets really hot?
Why is that happening? ( There is literally nothing going on with the “Satechi Multiport Adapter V2”, it’s all empty ports and it gets hot )
Plus when using it for all day, when I unplug it at night, it kind of shows “electric spike”, or whatever you want to call it, can it damage the laptop?
I am really confused?
Could I connect my USB C hard drive to it ? Or the usb c port is just for charging ?
World class review!
Seems Satechi hired you to review their product. NICE
Im having trouble with many hubs. I found problem that is very annoying. You have to plug hub firstly and then charger. In other way hub wouldnt charge your macbook.
Is this hub having same problem? Or you can plug charger into hub and then into macbook?

Yo, I got the new MacBook Pro m1 2020, there's a lot of people saying that charing through the usb-hub has fukkked up their computer. Do you have any idea if it's true?
What camera do you use?

Does the usb c port in the adapter power the normal usb ports in the hub?
if laptop does not have "Thunder bolt usb C" have a normal UsB C port does this hub works?
how's the card reader speed? capable of reaching limit of UHS-1 ?(~95mbps)
Satechi says its 4k60. Where is True?
Tanx for the review! Can I use this to Samsung Galaxy Tab S7?
Many thanks for the review mate!! I just grabbed one of these for my brand new 2022 I-Mac desktop since I have only 4 USB C ports and I want to hook up my #KRK Studio monitor speakers so I went with this #Satechi🤘🤘

wow, exactly what I needed! great video. one question, does the usb cable fit tightly in the macbook? my hub gets easily disconnected when i move the macbook on the desk
It's pretty tight, if you were to lift your MacBook up it would dangle just dangle in the air.

Hey, great job on the video! Was looking to get one for myself. Does this support two external hard drives simultaneously? Thanks
Yes
Dam nice review, subscribed 🤩
How would you compare this to Anker 555?
Is this compatible with Macbook pro 16 M1 pro (2021) ?
Looks hood and all, but you lost me on 30Hz 4k HDMI. Can't find a hub which will have 60hz for 4k and a Ethernet too.
60hz 4k needs display port
Hi ! Good video, just one clarification. In their webpage it is described as supporting upto 4k @ 60hz, so that's what they say.
Can I have 500gb ssd, 8tb hardrive, and a HDMI cable plug in and used simultaneously? Without damaging the hub

Thanks for the vid. Do you think this hub would be good for the new iPad Pro with USB-C?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I Should be getting my iPad Pro in the next week or so, once it arrives I’ll test it.
Wil this hub work with a Dell XPS 13 9360? Thanks
what would you use with the audio interface?
Does it support 2560x1440@60Hz over HDMI?
