About this deal

If you want to use high-speed eSATA drives with your Mac, Akitio’s Thunder2 Dock and CalDigit’s Thunderbolt Station 2 docks are the only alternatives with eSATA ports. Some have a right-angle connector; check to ensure such a connector doesn’t block the port next to it. This is rated at UHS-I (104MBps) so not the fastest but speedier than some other hubs tested here offer. As for monitor support, the Element hub handles up to dual 4K displays at 60Hz in both extended or mirror modes, single 8K display at 30Hz, or 5K Thunderbolt display at 60Hz.
