UtechSmart Universal Docking Station, 15 in 1 USB Docking Station with SSD Enclosure, USB C Dock with Dual HDMI,VGA,PD3.0,SD/TF,RJ45,Audio&Micro,USB Ports, for MacOS&Windows Laptop

As I cannot mention any other product name when posting (Amazon's posting rules), for those of you reviewing, if you have one of those well know aluminum computers with a fruit as it's logo, then this is for you, and anyone else having to deal with USB-C ports. One significant issue with my computer, and the use of USB-C ports, is often 3rd party peripherals don't work. I'm happy to say, the UtechSmart does. Straight out of the box, it works. The build feels solid and it's light weight and has a great variety of ports for your needs, including: - Ethernet - (3) USB 3.0 - (1) USB for a mouse - (1) SD Card Reader - (1) Micro SD Card Reader - (1) HDMI - (1) USB-C For size comparison, in the photos, my computer is a 12". I've tried all the ports. First, was the SD Card readers; both worked great (NOTE; with the Micro SD, put the card in upside down. The standard SD Card goes right side up). I inserted older USB 1, in addition to, USB 2 and 3 thumb drives and all were recognized. I decided to load the SD, Micro SD, and the (3) USB 3.0 ports, no problems, and attached my power cor to the USB-C port, again all worked great and the computer charged.. The hub also comes with a nice gray storage bag. To those out there with computers with only (1) USB-C port (like mine), there are other hubs that connect directly to your USB-C port and snugs the hub on the side of your computer Yet, the problem with them, as I've tried several, is because there is only one port to connect on the side of the computer, it doesn't make it stable, and you run the risk of seriously damaging your USB-C port on your computer when removing drives or SD cards. I like this UtechSmart hub, where the hub is free from the computer, simply tethered via the USB-C port. I recommend the UtechSmart Hub. I'm really happy with it and using it fully now. Hope this helps.

Pretty compact and light with many ports to connect various accessories and devices. Just one feature I did not like, which is the slow charging when connected to my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus with my quick charger plugged into the usb-c PD port on this hub. My other usb-c hub passes the quick charge right to my phone, not this hub unfortunately. The deal breaker for me is the repeated disconnecting and reconnecting of this usb-c hub, randomly after I connect and disconnect my quick charger from the hub. It also happens randomly after connecting and disconnecting my logitech wireless mouse receiver. Otherwise, if nothing's connected to it while I have it connected to my phone, there's no other error message on my notification bar. It works fine on my MS Surface Pro however. I have not connected anything else to this hub other than my wireless mouse and Samsung USB storage, while connected to my surface pro. Therefore I cannot comment on the HDMI, micro-sd/sd card, and the Ethernet port functionality. I will be returning it back to Amazon. I may repurchase and try a second one if I cannot find a different hub within the similar price range, since I like the build quality and the number of expansions available on this hub.

This item worked like a charm for exactly three months, and then it stopped working. HDMI port 1 died, and it would not recognize any USB device. I bought a second one and had the same issue. I do not recommend this item, and will not be purchasing another one.

The dock works well with my brand new M4 Mini. The only problem I've run into is when I tried plugging my iPhone into it, after a few minutes the HDMI powered monitor that I also have running through it (It's powered separately) goes black and wont come back with a picture unless I pull the iPhone out of this hub. I assume the phone is drawing too much power? No problem though, I found a USB C Cable and have the iPhone plugged into another port on the back of the Mac Mini and that works perfectly. So far I've run my 27" monitor, MIDI adapter to my digital piano, USB Flash drives, External HD and used the audio in and out ports for Music recording and all of these ports work perfectly. I have yet to try a second monitor or any other USB C devices. I bought this mainly because the new Apple M4 Mac Mini's don't come with USB 3 (or 2) ports (Large rectangle) which is stupid because most of my devices are USB 2 and USB 3. If you're doing music editing in Logic on a Mac and you A: need USB A & B Ports and you need 1/8 inch sound in and sound out, this dock is perfect for that, one of the few I found with all of those features?

Just what I needed for my laptop. Very functional with a lot of different ports: - 3x USB 3.0 ports (not the cheaper/older 2.0) - Ethernet port - HDMI - USB C charging port - SD card slots (regular and micro) - and a 2.0 mouse USB port All ports work as advertised and finally my small laptop can have a variety of ports. Love the HDMI from this hub as my laptop's HDMI port is broken, so I can still extend the screen as needed. I use the micro SD here and there as I have a dash cam that uses one, and I just download the video files as needed. Seems like a pretty solid build and quality. Comes with a nice caring bag which is a nice touch. Would recommend

Worked great for 3 months, then became wonky and stopped recognizing HDMI 1. So pretty much useless for its intended purpose.

Leider noch innerhalb der ersten zwei Wochen von heute auf morgen ein Ausfall einer der beiden Bildschirmports.
