A lot of you have been asking me some good questions about this hub that I've been
showing in my recent videos, so I decided to make this dedicated video answering those questions.
### What IS that gizmo that you've got attached to your iPad?
This is 10 in 1 Acasis hub. It does everything that normal hubs do,
but it's not just a normal hub…No no no
You see, it has this great little compartment here transforming it into an SSD enclosure.
And when you pair this up with an m.2 NVMe SSD card,
you can ADD… app to 8 terabytes of storage into this hub.
It does also support SATA SSDS.
You can also expand a 4K at 60 Hz refresh rate!
All of a sudden you have a compact POWERHOUSE in your hands,
with every port that you could ever need!
###
**Is this compatible with Windows devices?** You can use this with anything. A windows PC,
an Apple MacBook, an iPad or even an Android tablet.
### How fast is it? Well that depends
(primarily) on the SSD card that you use! As it happens, I've got two different
SSDs here so I will be showing you how they perform and the prices for each.
And it also depends on the device that you're using. A lot of devices have
been transitioning to USB-C for a long time and Apple are finally joining the party and
focusing a lot more in thunderbolt which supports really fast speeds.
And before I get into the specs let me just give you a practical example.
Here I'm going to move this 100GB folder… back and forth between the hub and my laptop.
This is just so you can see how large files can
be transferred in a normal day-to-day situation. It supports up to 1GB per second transfer speed.
The unit does get a little bit warm not gonna lie… When you are transferring this
sort of large files right? That’s kind of normal.. But Acasis provide a THERMAL PAD
sticker to make sure it keeps as cool as possible.
It is made of aluminium so it’s naturally cool to the touch.
What ports does it have? As well as the USB-C main port that goes into
your computer, it has a POWER DELIVERY PORT, which means you only need one power cable to power this
and your laptop, up to 100 WATTS so even the beefier MacBook Pros will be fine with that.
It has a USB-C port at 10GB per second.
It also has 2 standard USB ports, one at 5GB and one at 10GB per second.
It has a couple of slots supporting SD and microSD.
On the other side here, this is amazing! It has a full size HDMI,
capable of 4K @ 60Hz. And a Gigabit Ethernet port too. That’s a LOT for one tiny device.
As an example, with the SD and Micro SD slots this makes for an INCREDIBLE
tool for transferring photos, videos or documents between devices, for example.
I love to shoot raw photos now… and edit them in Adobe Lightroom and with this device…That
whole workflow is very seamless, doesn’t matter where I am or what device I am using.
Whether I'm using the iPod Pro, the Tab S8 Ultra or my MacBook Pro,
the process is the same. I don't need to format anything. Everything just works!
The ports are in a perfect position too… so when you're using it is very easy to
set it up out of the way, so you can work in those tight spaces of a train or a cafe.
It is quite small too so it will fit any bag or even in your pocket
This makes a very convenient solution for people who are… working on their commute,
or simply just going between client meetings or whatever.
Extremely convenient for people who are looking for faster storage too.
They started recently on Kickstarter
and they kind of blew up… And became very popular.
I'm a little late to the party and have been buying lots of other
different hubs and trying different things but better late than never!
I’m glad I finally found them. Shoutout to Patrick and Almir who recommended them to me.
You know, some products overcomplicate things right?
Acasis seem to have found a really good balance between LOOKS and
functionality. And OVER DELIVERED on the convenience aspect. But that’s not all!!
They also just launched this other enclosure. This one supports USB4
which is even faster from an enclosure point of view. So if you don’t need
the extra ports but you like the extra external storage idea. This is a ROCKET!!
I will be reviewing this next so make sure you are subscribed so you don’t miss out when I review it.
Also, when you do that, it really helps with the whole YouTube algorithm
you know.. They don’t always put this video in front of the right audience,
unless you do those things… Which I really appreciate. The benefit to you,
is that I am here with a new video on average.. twice a week.
I can't recommend this products enough. As always, there is a link in the description and I will
see you soon.
