Review on Satechi USB-C On-The-Go Multiport Adapter: 9-in-1 Portable USB Hub for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPad Pro - 2020/2019 Compatibility by Dave Brummet

Foreword: I'm an animator, lots of cables and external SSDs. Bought because I bought an M1 MacBook Pro and it comes with a frustrating 2 USB-C outputs. I saw this Satechi product that just came out and after seeing that Apple also recommends the Satechi product I bought it. I'm very happy that it comes with a detachable USB-C cable as it makes the USB hub travel-friendly. This also makes it a great hub as it has 2 USB-C ports, one for charging and the other for connecting a USB-C SSD that I have. Using this with the M1 allows me to charge directly into the M1 through one of its ports, plug it in and charge my phone and plug in a USB-C solid state drive. It is difficult to find a hub that fulfills all the functions of 2 USB-C when you have delved deep into the USB-C ecosystem. Ethernet is an added bonus. I wish there was another port instead of the VGA out. I also wish it came with some sort of sheath as I've seen this hub get pretty thrashed in a backpack. Overall very happy with my purchase.
