High quality product. Ease of installation. Works well with some known issues. problems1. The force to insert and remove one of the plugs is so great that you need 2 hands. One to hold the screen so it doesn't move and one to insert or remove the device connector or SIM card.2. The USB ports are not occupied power ports (like the USB ports in the iMAC. My external Apple DVD Super Drive cannot be used in these USB ports of the junction box because the iMAC is blinking. You need a powered port to

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Not secure

Perfect fit for 2017 27 " iMac 5K

All ports on this hub work perfectly. Installation was a breeze. According to the iStat menu, SD card readers are easy to use. The USB ports are a little tight so I have to hold the iMac at the bottom to keep it from tipping when inserting or removing the flash drive, but after some wear and tear I expect they will loosen up a bit. Using this hub is MUCH better than after one It also looks fantastic like it's an original iMac part.Please note that as mentioned this hub only fits 2017 iMac iMac…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • No paint required

Not the easiest install. Doesn't read microSD

[Update] - I'm revising my rating from 2 stars to 1 star. The only thing that works here is the SSD reader. The microSD won't read anything plugged in, nor will the USB ports read any external SSDs I've plugged into them. A complete waste of money. To return. Not easy to install on my 2019 iMac. Expandable flaps don't open easily and it still doesn't look good on the device. I'm afraid it will come off if I press too hard. It's a solid case and looks like it will fit, but for $50 I'm…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Doubtful

Beautifully designed hub

The Satechi USB-C hub for iMac fits perfectly into the air vents of the iMac and offers 3 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB-C and SD port and Micro SD slots. This makes it easy to eject SD cards and micro SD cards, as well as connect a USB-C SSD for video and photo editing. You can block the iMac speaker so the hub doesn't have to be completely on either side of the iMac. Where I put it, everything works fine. There are a few things that could be improved on the hub. First, the SD card reader is UHS-I only.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Durable

Oh my god! That's great! It fits perfectly at the bottom of my screen and is SUPER easy to install! This allows me to use ports that would otherwise be awkward to use on the back and makes my iMac experience so much better. I'm so glad I saw this in an article about the BEST iMac Accessories and that I was finally able to find it on Revain! There are many imitations out there, but none fits as well as this one, none offers the proper use, performance and efficiency of the actual built-in ports…

Pros
  • DESIGNED FOR IMAC - Specifically designed for iMac Pro and iMac models (2017 and newer) with Thunderbolt 3 ports. Not compatible with older iMac models with standard Thunderbolt ports. Will not fit latest iMac 2021
Cons
  • Useless features
