Satechi Aluminum Type-C Multimedia Adapter: 4K HDMI, Mini DP, USB-C PD, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, Micro/SD Card Slots | Compatible with MacBook Air/Pro (Silver) Review

I was only looking for this device because it had a Mini DisplayPort connector which I could use to connect an external monitor . Come and find out (yes I see it in the fine print now and confirmed by Satechi Support) that connecting an HDMI monitor to the Mini DP port is NOT compatible and will not work on the 2020 MacBook Pro. Recommended. HDMI HDMI only. So what's the point of having Mini DP on this device? I paid more and ordered this particular hub because of the mini DP. I dug up an HDMI…

For those looking for a good all round hub for their MacBook Pro this is the right choice. I travel, I have both an office and a home office and I bought two of them. The main advantage of this hub over other similar (and slightly cheaper) models is the presence of a mini display connector. I have an external monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 and HDMI is not suitable for such a high resolution. It does. My monitor was automatically recognized correctly and there have been no problems to…

Hello, I'm using this thing and it works but it has serious flaws. The Ethernet port is very slow. I tested it and my WiFi speed is twice as fast. So much for using it for a reliable internet connection. Something strange is happening with USB. My monitor turns off every time I connect an external hard drive and then turns on again. When trying to create a backup, I noticed that some files were corrupted. But when I plug the drive directly into my MacBook's USB-C port, the drive is fine. I've…

Concept is good but there are some limitations/problems. First, while the HDMI port works fine, I don't get any video when I try to use the mini DisplayPort instead. The cable I'm using is a Revain Basics Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable (3ft) and I've successfully tested it with another computer on the same 1080p monitor and found the cable to be fine, so it seems to be a mini display port issue on this satechi hub. It's frustrating having to spend time fixing such issues. Also, the USB-C cable…

I've had the 49w model since August and to be honest I can't connect much with it to make it readable on my 2018 MacBook Pro. My Lacie Rugged drive will not connect to the USB-C port on the hub. - When I plug my power adapter into the USB-C port, my MBP keeps draining and will be 0% at 3pm if I'm on my MBP all the time. - I can't connect my Apple Thunderbolt Theater to the miniDV port or the Lightning USB-C port I'm currently using to connect to my MBP. It's very hot to the touch - even when…
