Nor did the Totu offer a satisfying click on inserting an SD card, as did our top pick. It fell short on SD card transfers, however, clocking only 20MB per second versus the Satechi’s speedy 90MB per second read speed. With read speeds of 60 megabytes (MB) per second on our USB 3.0 transfer tests, the Totu was faster than the Satechi, which only managed 40MB per second. While the hub can support three displays (your laptop’s capabilities permitting), and like our top pick can drive a single 4K display at 60 Hz, it only supports 30 Hz for dual 4K HDMI displays, and attaching a VGA display lowers all monitor resolutions to 1080p. With 100W of pass-through charging, the Totu USB-C hub lets you add a whole lot of useful connectivity and power to a15- to 16-inch laptop via a single USB-C port.
The Totu 9-in-1 USB-C triple display docking station adds connectivity for multiple displays and display types, swapping out the Ethernet port of the Satechi for a VGA port and adding an additional HDMI port. Video Output: Up to 4K 60 Hz (single monitor), 4K 30 Hz (dual monitor).For most people, the Satechi’s mix of fast transfer speeds, assortment of ports and smooth operation make it the best USB-C hub to greatly expand the functionality of less power-hungry devices, such as 13-inch laptops.īest USB-C hub for 15-inch laptops: Totu 9-in-1 Triple Display USB-C Hub ($39.99 ) The hub can get warm but is never unreasonably hot, even when loaded with high power-drawing accessories like hard drives and capture cards attached. Smaller machines that are 13 inches and below receive enough juice for stable charging.

The USB-C connection will only pass 60W power this will keep a 13-inch laptop charged, but it isn’t enough to supply a larger power-hungry machine, such as a 16-inch MacBook Pro in that case, you’ll have to devote a separate USB-C or Thunderbolt port to your power adapter. Its 4K HDMI out display sports a 60 Hz refresh rate, which is up to standard for this type of gadget and allows for smooth monitor performance. Most importantly, the Satechi performed better with all ports in use than the similarly spec’d Aukey 8-in-1 hub, which exhibited choppy in-game performance and slower media transfers under similar conditions. Port placement is both generous and versatile enough for any setup, and unlike most hubs we tested, the Satechi multiport adapter offers a Gigabit Ethernet jack, so you can stay connected regardless of where you may travel. Satechi’s sleek “Space Gray” hub stands out against the rest of our testing pool, having one of the sleekest designs and some of the fastest data transfer speeds. If you’re looking to expand the functionality of a 13-inch laptop (such as a MacBook Air or Dell XPS 13), the Satechi Multi-Port Adapter V2 is the best hub of its kind we tested in terms of overall speed and reliability.
