Good piece of kit
Looks good and seems to work well so far. Had to fiddle with USB c connector on the back of the iMac, had to wiggle it and push to get it toconnect, but that was probably due to my iMac being opened up recently to have extra ram fitted. Bit fiddly to fit under the screen, but onceI got the hang of it, it fits solidly. I only gave 4 stars, as I think its a bit over priced – £35/£40 would be about right in my opinion. But I do likeit! PS I have not tried the front USBc and micro SD ports yet.

It actually works perfectly!
I don’t normally write reviews unless it’s perfect perfect perfect, this product fits the bill.I was a little sceptical after reading reviews from 5 star to one star but I was looking for something like this for my iMac for ages so I took a chanceNow I can only speak on my 2019 iMac not the newer iMac model out there, however if it has the vents underneath it (See pictures to see if it matches your iMac’s vent underneath), then it should fit without issue.Someone was upset on their review that the USB C stopped working. I don’t know if this will work but I’m using Type C to USB 3. adapter (the link is below) which is not plugged in the type C USB port but in one of the 4 normal USB at the back and it works absolutely finehttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Connector-supports-MacBooks-smartphones-Gray/dp/B09F18CYGW/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bto%2Busb%2Bb%2Badapter&qid=1638978576&s=computers&sr=1-8&th=1It’s well built, it’s very secure and so far it does what it says on the tin for the price. However If it doesn’t in the future then I will definitely do an update in the future.

Expensive at full price
This is a neat and tidy way of adding accessible connections to the iMac 24. I bought it at full price. It seemed expensive for what it was but at half price, itâs much more of a bargain.

Very neat and a doddle to fit – now got ports at the front.
I get fed up of having to turn my iMac around to fit USB and other connections. Newer iMacs have now got the SD card slot at the back as well. This clamp hub is a neat solution for those of us who connect devices to the Mac’s USB ports and SD cards. I found it very easy to fit – took less than a minute and no fiddling – and it is secure, looks great and provides a decent selection of ports. It clamps into the ventilation slots at the base of the Mac screen and the cable fits into a Thunderbolt/USB-C port at the back. It looks a perfect match for the iMac in material and colour.Inserting USB connectors to the hub is easy but the Mac can swivel as you do so, therefore I just hold the screen with one hand and pop the USB in with the other. There are cheaper hubs on the market; this one met my needs and is well-built so I think it is worth the additional cost.

An excellent addition to my Mac 24
Really pleased with this USB clamp which is easy to fit. Very nicely made and the colour matches the Mac perfectly- in fact it looks as if it was part of the original computer when shipped. Really useful as it provides easily accessible, additional connectivity whilst only using one of the rear ports. Provides both data and power to accessories so ideal for charging mobile phones etc. Thoroughly recommended.

It connects easily to a thunderbolt USB-C socket on a Mac
It does clamp to the body of the Mac (make sure to purchase the correct version) and expands the number of USB-A type sockets to three, plus one USB-C socket.You will need to hold the lower body of the Mac during certain plugging-in operations.There are readers forty types of card.

Cumbersome to use, different colour than iMac Pro’s, SD slot is not UHS II. Not a good value
The idea of this product is genius. The implementation is so-so. There are several things I don’t like about this product, considering Satechi’s brand quality:1) colour not same as my space grey iMac Pro – it is lighter. Satechi’s saying this is due to different manufacturing process. I say – bollocks. Apple is not making the iMac pro in 50 shades of grey.2) the installation was relatively simple, but not as easy as I thought it will be. The tightening with the wheel needs higher pressure than expected3) 2 out of the 3 usb3 ports are very tight and I can barely insert a flash drive/cable in it. In order to do so I have to counter pressure the iMac from behind. This defeats the purpose of a simple usage. Every time when I plug something in or out, I need to use both my hands.4) the SD card slot is only UHS-I. This is unacceptable. Why they cheap out here is over my mind. I knew about this disadvantage prior buying and this is why I was holding on for many months, hoping they will release an updated version. Also, when you insert a SD card, it is sticking out quite a lot. Only the chip is inside. It took me many plug ins until I got familiar with it.5) the usb-c port is not 40 Gb/s. It provides only usb 3 speed.As you see, there are many cons in this expensive product. It’s not all bad, but I think Satechi did wrong in 90% of the things possible to go wrong with. This is just not acceptable for such a brand with similar to Apple accessories price tags. If you take a look at they Mac Mini hub, you will also find many negative comments about it. It’s time for Satechi to step up their game and release products only when they are perfectly thought out and working as one would expect.

Jony Ive may be the worst thing that happened to Apple in the past twenty years. “Style first, functionality be damned!” might well be his motto. As much as I have liked my iMacs, putting I/O ports on the back of the unit was a design blunder. And stripping USB-A ports and SD card ports from the M-series iMacs simply made things worse.This little unit provides the missing ports on the front of the computer, where they are more accessible. It’s not terribly ugly, and more importantly, it attaches quite solidly to the iMac. It’s well-cushioned, so it won’t scratch the computer, but it is secure enough that I can insert cables and SD cards. I bought this over similar, cheaper units, because they looked rather flimsy, and I was not sure how well they would attach to my iMac. This unit does a nice job.

This couldn’t be easier to install, and everything works. I liked the way it attaches, solidly to my IMac , had it about a year now, everything works as it should, looks great too.
