SatechiUSB C Hub Adapter 5 in 1, USB C Dongle with 3 USB-A Data Ports, Micro/SD Card Readers, USBC Hub MacBook Pro/Air M1 M2 M3, Dell, HP, Surface, Lenovo - Space Gray

A great product. So far, I've only used the USB A connection to transfer data to a new MacBook, but it did what it was supposed to do. I'll be using it for the Micro SD once I get settled in to my new digs. Matches the finish of the Mac well, and has a small indicator light. As to some reviews saying it's not well built, I'd say it fairly well built - if it was built like a tank, it'd be bigger, bulkier and heavier - just treat it with a little respect and you should be fine.

The product works as advertised, color matches nicely. Sits flush, no stress on the connector with SD cards and flash drivers.Charging through Macbook and operating with devices as iPhone 6 and flash USB 3.0 drives of several kinds, USB 2.0 and 3.0 external Hard Drives and SD cards. However, connecting a USB extension hub (with 4 ports), only the USB 2.0 including flash drives and 3.0 devices HD non flash will work properly, the flash USB 3.0 drives won't work with an extension Hub, due to OS X conflict which I hope it will be fixed with future OS X updates.It's a small delicate adapter so it has to be treated gently, nothing out of the ordinary.

As the review title says... Overall this device works great and does everything, but the USB-C is NOT a full pass-through. It only passes through power (So it's USB-C PD, which is not mentioned in the specs). So don't be mislead into thinking it'll do a data passthrough as well.

Updated review: I bought this November 2016, and didn't start using it until my laptop arrived just before Christmas 2016. I thought about keeping it in my go bag, but, since I work from home, it ended up just living on a quiet portion of my desk. I have a hub built in to my monitor, so this really only got used as a memory card reader about once a month or so.It is now completely dead. My Macbook Pro does not recognize it as a USB hub. I've tried all the ports. It simply lights up and gets incredibly hot (pretty much too hot to touch).So, in 8 months, with maybe 3 dozen uses, this hub has completely failed. Please don't waste your money on this product. There are better ones on the market. Stay away from Satechi.Original review: First off, this is the best product out there (right now) for connecting all of your peripherals on the go.However, there are a couple reasons this gets 3 stars instead of 5. It gets uncomfortably warm when it's plugged in - even when nothing is connected. It also doesn't seem very stable - I would have liked to see this be the same height as the MacBook Pro, because it seems like it's going to break if you touch the top of it.I'd love to see this same adapter with two connections and a direct USB-C 3.1/Thunderbolt 3.0 port (not a lower output USB 3.0 only without Thunderbolt support) added, as well as a vent or two. Pretty much every adapter in this class/style that has a second USB-C/Thunderbolt 2.0 port blocks the side of the computer and lacks the ability to use a Thunderbolt device, requiring plugs to go on both sides of the computer.In my opinion, this is great for occasional use and for throwing in your bag for usage on the go, but I wouldn't depend on this for a daily hub.

So far so good, no real complaints. The only potential problem might be the hub connector sticking out as one needs to be careful when putting the item in a bag not to bend or break it off. Yes could have had a separate cable to connect the device instead of the connector protruding out but then one could misplace the cable and the device would be useless. Anyway this is nitpicking and glad I bought the item.

This is overall a good product from my experience. It does everything that you ask of it, I utilize multiple ports at the same time and all the functions perform well.Pros:- sleek and premium build quality- functions well, performs well and utilizes all ports- I personally like how it conforms to the shape of the macbook pro and fits in nicely without the use of a cableCons:- this product gets extremely hot, It hasn't caused any damage or stopped working due to its heat however it makes me worry and i unplug it whenever I'm not using it. kinda sucks that I cant let it live next to my macbook cause i worry about the heat. (because of this i wouldn't recommend charging any other products using the standard usb ports)- disconnecting it from the usb c port feels like I'm ripping it off everytime. I have to lift up the macbook just to unplug the hub which is often due to the heat

works as advertised. Most importantly: unlike the IVSO hub adapter that only claims it charges the MacBook while also connecting the USB devices, this one actually does it! I was able to connect to two portable HDs and do a hard-wired back-up while charging.OtherWorldComputing is advertising a nice USB-C hub for three times the price of this adapter; though it appears to be more complex, their promised delivery has slipped from September 2015 until today, and still counting...The only drawback of this adapter is that its physical connection to the MacBook, via the USB-C port, is flimsy. One has to be careful not to disconnect it by the sheer weight of the 3 cables attached to it....
