Best USB-C Hubs for MacBook Pro

What are the best USB-C Hubs for my MacBook Pro?

Updated May, 2017: Updated article with a new USB-C hub option (HyperDrive: Thunderbolt 3 USB-C 2016 MacBook Pro Hub) and removed slightly older, incompatible options.

As we say goodbye to the SD card reader, Thunderbolt, and so much more with the Late 2016 MacBook Pro, we also say hello: to many, many USB-C ports.

USB-C connectors are great tools in that they can connect multiple types of devices to your MacBook, and when you're done, you can simply detach the port and go on your merry way. But if you're using your MacBook Pro at home, you may want to avoid the constant fun of disconnecting and reconnecting a million devices; instead, connect just one USB-C device to your Mac — a hub — that then controls everything else.

There are several great USB-C hub options depending on your lifestyle: Below, we highlight our favorites!

• Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB
• HyperDrive USB 5-in-1 Hub
• AUKEY USB-C Hub
• Satechi Type-C USB Combo Hub
• Moshi USB-C Multiport Adapter
• HyperDrive: Thunderbolt 3 USB-C 2016 MacBook Pro Hub

Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB

Highly rated (with 5 stars on Amazon), fast, and compact, the Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB is a reliable option for those looking to pick out a USB-C hub for their MacBook Pro.

Anker did it again. Another great quality product from these guys that I just love. They have great product, but mostly great customer service if anything happens. I have bought tons from them either on Amazon.ca or .com over the years and have proven to be of the highest standards.

Designed to transfer data at speeds of up to 5 Gbps – which is fast enough to transfer an entire HD movie in just a few seconds – the Anker USB-C hub provides three additional USB ports along with an ethernet adapter, making it the perfect partner to pair with your MacBook Pro.

If something goes wrong with your Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB, then never fear: This little piece of tech comes with an 18-month warranty and highly-praised customer service.
