Satechi 4-in-1 USB-C Hub assessment: Data transfer everywhere

Satechi 4-in-1 USB C Hub review
The Satechi 4-in-1 USB C Hub is a reliable and portable hub that optimizes data transfers from and to your laptop. USB-C is becoming more and more popular. You must plug in, eject and unplug each device one at atime when connecting them to a MacBook that has limited ports. You could also save time using a hub. Satechi has made USB-C and Thunderbolt Docks for many years, and they cover a wide range of price points and needs. The 4-in-1 USB C Hub is one of their smaller and more affordable options. This hub, like most Satechi products is made from aluminum and features a durable braided cord. It is light and can be easily carried in a pocket or hand. The hub is small and compact, taking up little space next to a MacBook Pro. It has three USB-C ports, an Ethernet port, but no video or charging. 10Gbps transfer speeds per type-C port means this is an ideal hub for uploading/downloading large amounts of media to different drives or sources.

Using the 4-in-1 is straightforward, plugging into your laptop/tablet and connecting what you need. The Ethernet port is a great addition to the product. I find it particularly useful in public libraries and other places where wired internet access is available. Satechi 4-in-1 USB C Hub Review – Ethernet and USB C drive in use.I was able to organize all my files before the start of the new semester using the 4-in-1 with type-C storage devices and type-C drives. The hub’s design is solely focused on connectivity, so you can’t use it for your keyboard or a mouse. This leaves my last port available for only one peripheral. But that’s the deal. I thought that some hubs had too many ports of one type, but in reality they are designed for different purposes. I wouldn’t call this hub “too much”, but rather compact and specialized to serve a single purpose. Satechi 4-in-1 USB C Hub – Fast and portable, but niche. This hub is for people who require the fastest connection speeds and data transfer rates: remote workers, creatives, students, and others. There are many hubs with more ports that cost the same. Satechi’s aluminum-clad products are more expensive than other alternatives. However, the quality is better.
