    I'm looking for a dock for my iMac, but nearly all the ones I've seen are aimed at laptops only have a stubby little cable that mean the dock will be dangling in the air above my desk. The only ones with longer cables seem to be the more pricey Caldigit type ones that do quite a bit more than I need.

    I have a late 2013 iMac. I want to buy a new external hard drive that only connects with UBC C. Therefore can I connect this external hard drive to one of my Thunderbolt ports? Even Apple couldn't answer me that. There has to be some way I can use USB C without having to buy a new iMac. Thank You.

    Hey Matthew. Im looking for a usb hub / dock, to connect to my work laptop at home. Im planning on useing it with my 4k screen, plug in my various accessories, mouse, keyboard, etc, nothing more fancy than that. Its a lenovo thinkpad i use for work. Im looking for a solution like my lenovo docking station, to only have to connect 1 cable into my laptop and everything works after that 1 connection. At work it works fine, the docking can charge and everything is plugged and functions. Could you ontop of your head remember one you would pick for this application? im abit confused.

    Neither device is a hub and both are considered docks. First glaring mistake. After almost 3 mins, no mention of how fast you can pump data into either device, are they 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 or God forbid USB 4 i.e. Thunderbolt 4?

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  3 года назад

      Hi, Wayne. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. While I’m not arguing over what the technically correct term is, they are called hubs by the manufacturers, retailers and consumers. They typically reserve the term dock for devices that require an external power supply to operate at any capacity, meaning there is no functionality without an external power source like with my StarTech Thunderbolt dock. These smaller devices, or hubs as they’ve been dubbed, can largely function off the power supplied from the computer or tablet - not requiring a power adapter at all times.
      I start with USB-A data transfer speeds at about 2m20s.
      I mention the USB-C data specs at 2m45s.
      I hope this helps and thank you.

      I’m not sure I know enough to be good help. Anker support would be a better option. It could be that your peripherals and laptop are requiring more power than required to charge. Whatever you have plugged into the hub saps power from what is available to charge the laptop battery. You have more than one port on your Mac, so you’d be better off charging directly regardless.

So now I am going get an Anker hub so I can use the HDMI to connect to the TV, use LAN cable from the modem to my laptop, and turn off WiFi. Also keep cell phone on airplane mode as much as possible.

    Hi - the type of information that you just shared is very rare and even if there are some sites discussing this, they are all very confusing. Having said that, I have a Dell XPS 9550 from 2016 where the HDMI can only support 4K 30Hz but there is a thunderbolt 3 which I believe can support 4K 60Hz. So my question is, will I be able to connect the machine to the Anker in your video and connect the other end of the USB to a USB 4K 60 Hz monitor? In essence, will the usb-c port in the hub capable receive the video output from the thunderbolt and push it out via the other usb-c to the monitor? Very confusing eh!!?!?

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  3 года назад

      Thank you for the feedback. I wish this would work for you, but this hub does not support Thunderbolt 3 so you would not get video through the type-C port on the hub. There are Thunderbolt 3 hubs, but at my last look they are much pricer. I wish I had an easy and inexpensive answer than that.

    The Anker hub you feature works fine until you try to charge your devices from the USB ports and need to unplug the computer and take it elsewhere for a while. Then the charging stops! I could not find the reson why this happens, the hub was still powered by the PD cable and should be passing power to all the plugged in devices. It just would not. :(

    Hi sir,
    I'm planning to get the new M1 MacBook Pro, it only has 2 TB ports.
    I'll be using one of the ports to be connected to my external monitor (LG 27UL850) 24/7, it charges my old MBP at 60W rate, and I will expect the same on the new Macbook.
    But if I'm planning to get the Anker PowerCore 8-in-1 and attach it to the other TB port, how does it work?
    Port 1: Connected to external monitor, powering the Macbook at 60W
    Port 2: Connected to Anker PowerCore, requires 15W to power it, and powers the Macbook at 85W
    Will it mess up my Macbook? Is the Macbook smart enough to be used with an external monitor, while powering up the adapter while charging my Macbook at a healthy watts?
    Thank you.

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  3 года назад

      My M1 MBP has has no issues thus far with the Anker. Apple has also released updates to address the potential issues that seemed to be caused by non-compliant hubs. The 85w power spec on the Anker refers to the maximum power the hub can parse from charger. The hub does not supply power itself. You have to plug your power adapter into the hub or computer. If you plug-in a 100w adapter, it will supply 85w max. If you plug in a 60w power adapter into the hub and connect the hub to the computer, your computer will receive about 45 W of charging since the hub uses about 15w. If you can connect to your external monitor using HDMI with the hub, then you can plug your power adapter directly into the computer if that makes you feel more secure. Keep in mind that the hub will still draw 15w of power either way. So far it’s been enough.

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  4 года назад +1

      The Anker’s 10GB/s is faster than all the 5GB/s hubs I’ve tested. I don’t yet have the ultimate in SSD to fully explore the limits, but 100GB data transfers from a middling external SSD to my 2019 MacBook Pro have taken 3 minutes. The Hyper was closer to 4 minutes. Anker says temperatures can reach up to 149 degrees Fahrenheit. In my experience, they all get hot and more so during intensive use. I’ve noticed this trend in a lot of recent tech peripherals recently. That seems to be where they are pushing to eek out performance. Too hot, though? Well it works without fault and I can handle it fine during use. I don’t leave it connect though when not in use. They use power even with no peripherals connected.

The thought is that users should unplug the hub from the computer before unplugging the power from the hub to avoid a power drop. The best practice might be to plug the power directly to the laptop until more is learned.

      The Anker in this video is what I have stuck with. We all have so many different needs, Be sure you get the configuration of ports that work best for you.

    Okay stud....are you purposely trying to promote Anker for some reason? HyperDrive has other hubs that outperform the Anker one you show here. You chose one of the HyperDrive models that offers less performance for what reason exactly?

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  3 года назад

      Not at all. It was the one that I had. I emphasized the point about shopping around and make sure people know what specs the need and looks closely at what they are buying. Is there one you think holds up well at that price point?

    I have a hyperdrive and I love it. It’s different cuz it connects right into the side of my MacBook Pro. Nice video. Also, this will make you wonder who this is.. Was that Charles or Dodger?? 🤔

    • @MatthewFortner
      @MatthewFortner  4 года назад

      Hyper does make good products that are much reasonably priced. I don’t why that one is so high. That one started getting buggy and I couldn’t definitively point to the hub, but I’m pretty sure it’s faulty. Just didn’t seem right though to call it out without replacing it which would have been a weeks long delay. I know this because I ...well...I have another gadget review in the works that I am actually in the process of doing that. My special guest production assistant was Dodger. He snuck in and was absolutely silent until I turned the camera on. -_-

    Great review! Important question: I hope none of them have pass through power (so powered from the wall, then themselves powering the computer)... Because I read horror stories about how this kind of arrangement bricks the new M1 Macbooks.

    • @MatthewFortner

      Most feature a pass through power. I’ve seen just a little on Reddit about this potential issue with M1 MacBooks. The thought is that users should unplug the hub from the computer before unplugging the power from the hub to avoid a power drop. Have you seen more information about this?

      @@MatthewFortner Hey I know this is a year old thread but I just thought I'd both answer your question and throw in one of my own: there did used to be an issue with USB-C hubs/docks bricking M1 Macbooks but it has since been patched through an OS update. However, I was wondering if the hub's functionalities/performance was affected by being powered via the PD port or not? My MBP is already connected and powered through a Caldigit TS3 Plus docking station, but I need extra ports so I was planning to use the Anker model from your video (without using the PD).

    You said that USB 3.0 is 10Gbit/s but 3.0 is 5Gbit/s. You need to do some fact checking before making videos.

      Hi, there. I hope this helps. At about 2m22s in the video the Hyper is specified as 5 Gbit/s and the Anker as 10 Gbit/s, confirmed by their product information - and experienced in testing. Please, let me know if I can help in any other way. www.hypershop.com/products/hyperdrive-ultimate-usb-c-hub-for-macbook-pc-usb-c-devices www.anker.com/products/variant/powerexpand-8in1-usbc-pd-10gbps-data-hub/A83830A1
