USB C Laptop Docking Station HDMI 4K60Hz with Nvme Enclosure, ACASIS 10-in-1 USB C Hub Multiport Adapter with HDMI, PD, Ethernet, SD/TF, 10G USB C/A Ports, Audio, Works for Mac/Dell/HP/Surface

Honestly, ACASIS’s 10-in-1 USB-C Hub is like the king of all hubs. Purchased: March 2022. Ports I tested: • NVME/SATA SSD (10Gbps) • USB-A (5Gbps) • USB-A (10Gbps) • USB-C (10Gbps) • Combo Headphone Jack • SD/MicroSD • Ethernet • HDMI • USB-C (PD - Power Delivery) • USB-C (PC - Connect to host) Test device (host): • iPhone 13 Pro • iPad Pro (11inch, 2nd Gen.) • Desktop PC Did everything work: Yes* (I only mention what had issues/workarounds; If it’s not mentioned, it worked as intended). • iPhone 13 Pro: • Required Apple’s Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter. • iPhone 13 Pro is not strong enough to power hub. • External power required for hub to work. • Ethernet was ‘slow’ for what I have available (1GB Service: Verizon - 330 Download, 220 Upload with Hub) (CAT 5e). • HDMI did not work (Apple Adapter does not support video passthrough). • Power Delivery did not work (Apple Adapter does not support PD). • iPad Pro (11inch, 2nd Gen.): • Ethernet was ‘slow’ for what I have available (1GB Service: Verizon - 500 Download, 390 Upload with Hub) (CAT 5e). • Desktop PC: • Ethernet was ‘slow’ for what I have available (1GB Service: Verizon - 730 Download, 600 Upload with Hub) (CAT 5e). Does hub overheat: Depends. • After about an hour of constant use with everything connected as shown in the pictures, it does get warm. Do note, I added a custom skin so your results may vary. Do I recommend: Yes. • For what it can do, it’s worth it. It has multiple uses and is lightweight/portable. I even connected another USB-C Hub (Anker) to see if it’ll work together and it does (Shown in pictures). ACASIS’s 10-in-1 Hub has much more use, that it’s replacing my Anker 7-in1 USB-C hub. •• Bonus •• Should you add a custom skin to it: Yes. • I did it to prevent scratches, and just to give it a cool look. It took a few hours to cut the skin I applied and make it fit perfectly.

Case is aluminum alloy, a MUST! This accepts both SSD and SATA— and cards. I put a 2Tb Samsung 980 Pro SSD into it as an extension to iPhone video and to handle the aux devices (mic(s), lights, PD power). Works well distributing power, linking devices, and disperses heat efficiently. Sturdy plugs all around; despite that USB-3/4 cables being less flexible, I would like to supply some further support (3-D printing to the task?). Velcro is your friend if using this on a remote rig. Featherweight, small: fits in a phone holder. CON: The silicone jacket fits the end plugs poorly, and must be trimmed; not a problem. Definitely not weatherproof, nor hopes to be. LED for connection is on end rather than on top. Minor cons on a major unit!

Maybe a photo later. I was about to contact them to see why not TB4 they beat me to it. I ordered this for my phone when I traveled. I thought I would need to turn my phone into a computer while traveling. This little HUB/HD Enclosure was great. I only used it once while away my friend was as geeky as I was and offered me great accommodations which included a computer laptop. I did look into the requirements to run on my Note 20. What I discovered was that it required 100 watts of power so I ordered a replacement for my 68W power plug. It was (a 100W charger) misdirected in shipping so I never got it while away (be careful with Amazon shipping. However, my wife uses it on her 13" MBP (M2) I bought her and it works great. I have a 2TB M.2 SSD and it transfers at 10GB but she is happy with the speed and rarely uses it. I have it connected to her MBP using her 60W power cord and it works fine I have used the RJ45 for testing though and it works fine. I don't have an extra monitor but I will test it on my SS Q90 soon. I will give ya an update once I do. Oh power charger should arrive soon so I will have all I need to test independently of MBP power soon.

I am revising my review. My problem apparently was the cable the sent. It was junk. It turned this otherwise actually awesome device into a hot box that probably could kill an NVMe from heat. I thought it was the connector because it had to have the included cable held at an angle to connect. I contact them for support here, they never replied. I wanted this thing to work. So, I bought a very nice Thunderbolt cable and plugged it in. Now it isn't getting hot, it connects quickly and does all it should, the T-bolt to NVMe is screaming fast, like 20GB in ten seconds or so. I needed the micro-SD slot for flashing OS to Pi4/5, this has it. So, I would probably have gone 5 star on this had it included a cable that did not die in hours, and turn the thing into a heat machine so quickly, and had the company actually replied here. So buyer beware... yes, buy this box, it is wonderful especially for the price, but order it with a quality thunderbolt cable when you do, so it will work. That will add another 20% or more to the purchase, but at the price of it with the junk cable, it is worth it. If you bought one and it is getting really hot, try a quality thunderbolt cable and throw the one away that comes with. If they had included a really nice quality cable to begin with I would have gladly paid for more it. First Experience: I installed my NVMe with high hopes for this little dock, plugged it into the Mac Mini M4, copied 20GB of data in second, which was awesome and what I wanted. But within an hour it was super hot. then began to lose connection intermittently. Reseated cable, rebooted, all kinds of tricks plugging into different ports, reversing ends of provided thunderbolt cable, and it seems the connected itself is wonky because to get it to maintain a connection you have to hold the cable slightly up at the insertion point. I have not started a return yet and am letting the manufacturer reply via contact here on Amazon and will update this when they do, but I think it is either going back to Amazon or they have to ship another. We will see. Neat looking box with great features, but this one died pretty quickly. It still “works” if I hang this old garage door opener on it, which happened to be in a drawer, and it applies enough pressure to make the connection, but that isn’t a good solution!

I bought another smaller port replicator/dock. I hated that it moved all over, was never flat and I had to reach back and hold it to add or remove a cable or flash drive. This one sits flat, has a rubber cover, and to me solves the frustration of the dangling flopping port replicator. PLEASE PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TAKES LIKE 15 WATTS OF POWER TO FUNCTION. YOU WILL NEED A LARGER CHARGER THAN CAME WITH YOUR LAPTOP. I use a MacBook Air M1. The charger Apple supplied will charge the laptop without this dock. but it will not charge once running through this. I use an EHO brand high-wattage charger. If you plug in USB hard drives, optical drives, etc that are powered via USB, they take power to run. Get yourself a larger charger and you will love this. I have not had a hard drive in it until the last week. I added a m.2 nvme 512gb inside this. It was $18 and super super fast. Yes this is $100 and thats a lot, but overall with the drive in it, and that it sits flat, its the only one like it. I love it.

I bought this after researching and saw a YouTube influencer. How he rave about this 10-1 hub with NVMe enclosures. I bought into it and ordered it immediately. I got it and tried to install it immediately. It's giving me error and does not allow me to initialized the ssd card. Thinking it might me my computer, I tried it on a different computer and the result was exactly the same. I really like the hub, looks very sturdy. So I emailed the manufacturer. They responded and send me the write up of how to initialized that I already found in their web. So no help there. So I do not have any choice but to return it. Cannot waste more time as this is supposed to be plug and play... I bought a cheaper Ugreen NVMe enclosures, like 30% of the hub price. Got it, and immediately installed the NVMe drive and hook it up the computer. And its that easy, went to computer management and found the drive and quickly initialized it and format it. Just like that 3 minutes. When it works it works.

Really good small docking station, fast speed, iv got full speed reading from nvme ssd, not actually need extra power, working perfectly by itself

I wished I had tested the video port before my return window closed. Things I wished I knew before I bought it. The first thing is it gets hot and it’s hot enough that I let it cool down before I touch it to put it away. If you don’t put an SSD drive in it then it won’t get that hot but it isn’t designed to “easily” remove the SSD M.2 drive every time you use it. Yes the SSD is screwless and the lid is magnetic but even if you went through those steps to take it out. What do you do with the drive? You’ve just removed it from its carrier which isn’t convenient, even if you leave it on your desk. I wish there was a fan or some way to prevent it from getting so hot. I tested the video port of my laptop, I run Linux on the hardware and it works great. I tested the cable and that works, also the monitor works too. The port on this thing makes the video a mess and not usable. If I had an option to return it, I would.

I installed a 1TB NVMe SSD and currently using this Hub with my 16” MacBook Pro. Data transfer speed is as advertised and the wide variety of ports is convenient. One USB-C connects all my external devices. The hub does get quite hot when transferring large amounts of data. Hopefully, this will not cause damage to the unit over time. Maybe a couple of micro cooling fans would be a wise investment. The hub also works great with my iPad Pro.

Things are as expected, the case is good and saves the device from scratches and bumps; the size is really compact and easy to carry.

excelente equipo, muy funcional y sencillo de operar
