Satechi USB-C Dual Dock Stand - MacWorld

4/5

Oct 18, 2023

The Satechi USB-C Dual Dock Stand is an impressive aluminum USB hub that elegantly slides under your Mac, providing a multitude of ports while saving desk space. With a sleek space gray and black finish, this wedge-shaped dock elevates your laptop a few centimeters in the back, making it comfortable to use even with the built-in MacBook screen. However, using a separate keyboard is recommended to take full advantage of its features.

One of the standout features of this dock is its dual HDMI 2.0 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, allowing you to connect up to two 4K displays at 60Hz. While it doesn't officially support three screens, the dual display capability is perfect for M1/M2 Pro or Max-equipped computers. In addition to the video outputs, the dock includes a Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB-A ports (10Gbps and 5Gbps), two USB-C data ports (10Gbps and 5Gbps), and a USB-C power port that can deliver up to 75 watts.

A unique feature of the Satechi USB-C Dual Dock Stand is the ability to install an M.2 SATA or NVMe SSD (up to 4TB) under the hub, providing a fast and convenient storage solution for large files or projects. This feature is especially useful for creative professionals working with video editing software like Final Cut Pro.

While the lack of Thunderbolt support and the less-than-elegant connection to the computer may be minor drawbacks, the Satechi USB-C Dual Dock Stand offers excellent value for its price. It provides ample connectivity options and the ability to offload massive libraries from your hard drive, making it a worthwhile investment for any Mac user in need of additional ports and storage.
