USB C Hub MacBook Pro Adapter - 8 in 1 Portable Aluminum USB C Dongle with USB C Charging, USB C to HDMI, 4 USB 3.0 Ports, SD/TF Card Reader, Compatible for MacBook Pro and More Type C Devices

I bought this to add additional ports to a Mac Mini with M1 chip. Not sure why Apple thinks they don't need to include SD card readers on the Mini. They are still needed! SD card readers work as expected on the 8 in 1 device. Transferring 3 files totaling about 560MB only took a few seconds. So this seems to be a speedy device in that regard. Build quality is very solid with the aluminum enclosure. I also like that the SD slots are on the end instead of a cable connection port. The cable to connect to the computer could be a touch longer. But, considering this is geared more towards laptop use, I can't fault it too much, since I'm using it on a desktop machine. I wish it had rubber, foam, or felt feet to help keep it from sliding around and making metal to metal contact on top of the Mac Mini. At least I can add those easily enough myself.I plugged in my Android phone and iPad pro to this 8 in 1 device. The Android phone indicates charging. iPad indicates it is not charging. Upon further inspection in System Report, it appears that the iPad and Android devices are connected to the USB 2.0 channel and are only receiving 500 mA of power. So they will likely charge if not using them, albeit slowly. I did not buy this with the intention of charging my devices, so I'm not overly concerned. But if someone else has a need for this then beware this limitation. I also tried this on a Windows Laptop. I observed the iPad charging when I first plugged it in. After plugging in my Android phone to charge, the iPad began to indicate not charging. I tried plugging back into the Mini. When the iPad is plugged in alone, it indicates charging. Upon connecting additional devices, the iPad would cease to charge. So I believe the issue is not OS dependent, rather an issue with how the power is distributed within this device. Data transfer speeds can still potentially be an issue if I were to try and Sync data with my Android phone and iPad since they are only connecting to USB 2.0. I don’t intend to use this device for these purposes. So while this may be a fault to some, I am not overly concerned.I am now able to relocate a WD 2TB external drive to this hub and it connects to the USB 3.0 bus and functions as expected. So I can simply plug in the phone of iPad to the, newly freed-up, standard USB A port on the Mini. It is odd that the iPad will connect to the USB 3.0 bus when connected directly to the mini. I'm uncertain if this is a limitation imposed by the 8 in 1 device or Apple's response to it.HDMI works ok. Although at 30Hz refresh rate as opposed to using the built-in HDMI port on the Mini at 60Hz, I'd rarely be inclined to use it unless I was not using a 4k monitor. Also, charging the android phone with a USB C to USC C cable seemed to work, but I could not see the device in system report, so this confirms that is not a data port, just power only. Which seems to be indicated in the product description on Amazon. So no surprises there. Overall, this will suit my needs at a fantastic price.

Because Apple doesn't know what in the world they are doing when it comes to ports, I purchased this little hub a few months ago. So far it has handled everything I've thrown at it, including chaining another USB hub to one of the USB ports. I do wish it had more USB ports, but I knew I was getting 4 when I got it, so can't complain.

It's a bit expensive but it works great with my Galaxy Note 9 and my HP Laptop, but I had to purchase a USB-C to USB adapter just to use it with my Toshiba laptop. For the price you should include the adapter with the purchase.

My sister-in-law recently purchased a new MacBook Air to replace her aging MacBook Pro.Being that Apple has eliminated all but two USB C Thunderbolt 3 ports, she had no way to connect any of her “vintage“ USB 2 peripherals. Since she is what one may call “computer challenged”, my wife volunteered my services to integrate her old equipment with her new Mac, so as to get her up and running.Enter the XSPUS 8-in-1 USB C Hub. Currently, my Sister-in-Law has only one USB printer to connect, but the versatility (see specs) of this dock makes it future proof for any anticipated connections that she would need.This hub is plug ’n’ play on the MacBook - all that was needed was to plug the hub into the one of only two USB C Thunderbolt ports, then plug the printer into one of the USB ports on the hub, leaving six remaining ports (3 USB 3 ports, a 4K HDMI port, memory card port, and a USB C charging port… Ta-da, golden!The footprint of the hub is quite slender, and the design robust, streamlined, and aesthetically pleasing; some may even say: “sexy”, sporting a curved brushed aluminum chassis. As for its durability, time can only tell, but from the looks and feel of this very affordable add on, I’d have to guess that it will be in service for many a year.All in all, a winner that’s off to a good start.

However, I presented my experience with this product objectively, and free from any influence.

Newer model Macs only have the Usb-C ports. So, I use this product often when I have to connect my Mac to usb 3.0 ports. The cool thing is I could possibly charge my iphone, ipad, and watch with this product by connecting it to my Mac. There is nothing I dislike; it works extremely well, and it was highly affordable for my use.

I have a 2020 MacBook Pro and thought this would be a good hub for when I needed to hook up usb a devices or an external monitor. I had the same issue as another reviewer where my MacBook would not boot with this hub plugged into it. I never tried using the usb c power port, nor did I use it at all with my MacBook. Fortunately I found a good use for it with a Surface Dock 2 for usb a devices. The SD card slot works fine as well. I also have not tried the HDMI port so I cannot attest to how well it works. There are cheaper options out there for a usb hub, but since I already had it I figured it wasn’t worth the hassle to return it since it met another need.
