A USB-C hub that also has a built-in hard drive… Well, yes, room for it…
It's fine for laptops to be as light and thin as possible, but weight reduction and thinness necessarily involve some compromises. One of them is expansion sites. Since these take up quite a bit of space, and the electronics for them also weigh a bit, there have been quite a few laptops on the market in recent years that are more economical with these connectors. Among them, Apple is in the lead with its MacBooks (although the latest Pro model got back the SD slot and HDMI connector), but other manufacturers are not "immune" either. But since we need connectors, we just use various splitters... Fortunately, USB-C has no problems with them...
Another compromise, which is often not negligible, is of course the disk. SSD memory circuits are admittedly small and, consequently, so are disks, but some laptops have very few of them. 128, and 256 GB is not very much, but even 512 GB can be filled. Otherwise, laptops often have a slot for another disk, but still...
The company Satechi, whose products can also be obtained from us, has sent the Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter to the market (for now American), which combines a solution for both problems. Namely, it has a USB-C connector (chargeable, up to 100 W), a 4K HDMI connector (up to 60 Hz), two USB-A 3.0 connectors and, what is special – it also has a suitable connector for a disk or circuit SATA M.2 SSD. The idea is certainly interesting, as a 1 TB M.2 disk can be obtained for around €80, and in this way you can get not only additional connectors, but also an external and therefore, of course, a portable disk that will solve memory problems.
The Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter can be purchased from us for €89.99.
