Dual USB C Docking Station and Stand with Dual 4K HDMI, Display Port, 75W USB-C PD Charging, 2 USBC Data, 2 USB-A, Ethernet, SATA and NVMe SSD Enclosure, for MacBook and Windows

The unit died after 4 months. It just stopped working out of a sudden and got very hot; all devices disconnected and the led behind went off. I contacted suport and gave them all the details. I was then offered a replacement unit, which is on its way now. I like the unit itself as it just works out of the box with my MacBook M3 Max — no need drivers, just plug and go. The NVMe slot can handle 8Tb with no issue. I was using it with two external displays, a 24" 4k and a 27" 4k. All ports were used, so perhaps that's the reason the the unit died — or perhaps only an issue with the one I had...

I just love this hub and I'm really happy I found it! When I turn the computer off, everything that I had connected to it also turns off. I don't have to worry about unplugging everything, every time. I saw some reviews saying that it didn't work with multiple monitors, but I think that is related to the processor you have on your macbook. Mine is a M2 Pro and I could connect two more monitors, having 3 different working screens. The NVME slot is perfect because I can not only save one USB outlet, but also I don't have to carry an external drive around. I had no problem with heat so far, no connectivity issues at all. A little pricey, yeah, but totally worth it!

I absolutely love this hub/docking station. It plugs up to my 2019 Macbook Pro flawlessly. I think Satechi did well in their overall design but a couple of nuances cost this review a star...which may be important to [some] home recording folks out there. Those nuances are: 1.) Know ahead of time that is device does NOT provide pass-thru power to any USB port except the PD one that feeds directly into your MBP. So if you're thinking all of the USB-C ports provide power to attached devices, it doesn't. Just your MBP. Additionally, this device supports 75 watts of PD to your MBP - but if you dig a little deeper, the factory wall plug for 2019 MBP's is 90+ watts. Yes, it charges/keeps your laptop up, but if you sit down to do some intensive CPU work with the battery already low - it's gonna struggle to get you back to 100% until you let the MBP 'come up for air' so to speak. Not really an issue, but then again it is. ---> MIDI peripherals - If you have a USB-C powered device like an Arturia Mk3 MIDI controller that draws it's power from the USB-C plug, then you have to go strait to your MBP, NOT thru the Satechi hub. This was kinda my pinch point with this device.<--- The onboard NvME slot in this hub is certainly a nice feature to have, and well worth it. Super fast, and accommodates Apple's Time Machine functionality well. :) Hat tip to Satechi for this one. :) The device overall is built extremely well, and the MBP doesn't 'slide off' when you're typing. It stays put. The MBP also doesn't heat up more than normal so this device actually helps cool your working system. Would I recommend this to others? Yes - just know the limitations going into it if you're expecting this hub to charge anything you subsequently plug into it aside from your Mac.

I've had this device now since 2023 and it has performed without fail. I don't use a passthrough power supply. I have a Microsoft Surface 9 Pro that I plug both USB-C connections into and it handles everything without issue. I have a 2TB NVME m.2 ssd installed as well in it. I would highly recommend this unit as an external dock for any Dual USB-C Surface Pro device.

A neat idea for modern laptops that have only 3 USB-C ports and one of those is for power. I thought this would be the hot setup, but even with having 130w power delivery for the dock and the factory 130w for the laptop, the laptop would completely freeze. I had to do a hard restart (which I have never had to do in the 2+ years I have owned the laptop.) And this was without any additional ports on the dock being used. In addition to the lockups, the dock is a constant drain on the laptop battery. I thought I had done something wrong, but after repeating the process 2x times, I have concluded that this dock is not for me. The dock is beautifully designed. I have previously purchased and continue to use 2 other smaller Satechi docks which I love. Regrettably, I think I'll need to be contented with fewer ports available and return the dock.

I just bought the M3 MacBook Air, which, according to Satechi’s website, is compatible with this dock. The picture on Amazon’s website says that the Mac M1 and M2 are limited to one external monitor in extended mode with this dock. It seems reasonable to conclude that this dock would allow more than one external monitor in extended mode for MacBooks that are not M1 or M2. The included instructions indicate that this dock is plug and play, so the extended mode should activate when the MacBook is connected to the dock using both USB-C ports and two external monitors are connected to the dock. This did not happen. Based on the picture on Amazon’s website, I should be able to use the external monitors AND the MacBook screen, rather than closing it to activate the external screens. I’m definitely glad to be wrong here because then it would function as I expected when I purchased this dock (feel free to chime in, Satechi). Perhaps it’s only M3 MacBooks that are not MacBook Air that provide dual external monitors with this dock. I don’t know. I bought this when I purchased my MacBook so I could have what I already had with my PC laptop - two external monitors and a laptop display. To be sure, the limited external monitor availability is an Apple issue; I just hoped this dock would fix that. The dearth of available ports on the M3 MacBook Air makes this dock somewhat useful but it does not allow for two external monitors in conjunction with the laptop, which is why I bought this dock. I will be glad to revise or update my review if I am wrong and this dock does allow for two external monitors together with my MacBook screen.

They made a small, fast, flawless MacBook hub that has properly engineered ports at labeled speeds in a neat configuration. They even included an nvme m.2 drive compartment for a dish. I put a 4 TB card in mine. I only wish it were white not black but that’s a small thing.

This works great for one extended monitor with a Macbook (Air or Pro). However, it will not support two external monitors. The specs have been updated to note it doesn't work with M1/M2/M3 chips, but that wasn't on the description when I purchased the dock. So now I'm stuck with a dock that doesn't work as intended.
