Looks nice, works great...
Conceptually a hub is a fairly simple item....right? Then how is it tha I've owned so many of them over the years that didn't work? I use this one with an M1 MacMini (silver color) and find the color match is ideal. I also have a couple disk drives that match the "stack" -- so I have four "mini" stacked up and it makes a great form factor and tons and tons of capacity. Incidentally, one of my disk drives is used daily and the other, though constantly connected, is only a backup drive using backup software programmed to back it all up about once per week. I always by 256Gb (startup drive) Macs and then store my data on external drives or in the cloud. But any external drive is backed up frequently. As to the dock, I think one reason that it works is because USB-C has more channels/I/O capacity that older USB-A computers. All of my permanent drives are plugged in the back of the MacMini and the front receptacles on this hub are for one off reads or writes. I like this one particularly because it has a "well" into which. the MacMini sinks and fits perfectly....so they never come out of alignment. Also, this one also has a USB-C front port....whereas most competitors are USB-A only. This was also one of those rare items that came in one day without extra charge...which means it must be warehoused locally. It is an "Amazon Favorite" (which means they've had less complaints and returns about it than others in this category). It is truly plug and play...no software required...however, after plugging it in, reboot the Mac for the dock to be fully recognized. So far....highly recommend... (But I buy a lot of Amazon stuff and have learned that "Amazon Favorites" rarely disappoint.)Ver másVer menos
