Apple may deny the necessity of buying a dongle for its latest MacBook Pro model by reinstalling it to the so-called traditional port that was previously shelved, but this has not stopped Satechi from increasing the appeal of its flagship dongle. Its latest dongle is called a USB-C hybrid multi-port adapter, and it is a very hybrid device. The dongle not only contains a variety of ports, but also contains an M.2 SSD case.

Satechi's approach to its new dongle is similar to its recent Mac mini USB-C hub, which also includes a new M.2 SSD housing. In addition to possibly having to buy a new M.2 SSD to accommodate it, it also needs to be a SATA type, not a newer and faster NVMe model. Nevertheless, it is faster and more convenient than carrying a portable external hard drive with you.

In addition to 4K 60 Hz motion support via HDMI, the new Hybrid dongle is also equipped with 2 USB-A 3.0 ports (new MacBook Pro models are still missing) and a USB-C PD port that supports up to 100 W for downstream charging . In addition to Apple's MacBook Pro models, the Satechi Hybrid dongle also supports a variety of Microsoft Surface devices, Chromebooks and other devices that support USB-C PD. 

The new Satechi hybrid multi-port adapter is available in space gray and black colors. The black version currently retails for $89.99 on Amazon.
