Satechi USB C Hub Multiport Adapter V3, 8 in 1 with 8K HDMI, 85W USB C PD Charging, 4X USB Data Ports, Ethernet, SD Card Reader, for MacBook, Windows - Silver

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.

Great quality and nice designThis is perfect for me when traveling or at home. It allows many connections with my Mac Book.

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.

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.

Better heat management than other products on the market

Excellent
