Our verdict
The Revodok Pro 210 is a nice combination of price and features for general office use.
Best prices today: Ugreen Revodok Pro 210 10-in-1 USB-C Hub
$59.99
For $60/£65, you get a very good set of ports with the UGreen Revodok Pro 210 USB-C hub: it offers 10 ports, enough for most people, whether they’re working remotely or in the office.
The Revodok Pro 210 has four USB ports. Two are USB-A 2.0 ports that can be used with a keyboard, mouse, touchpad, printer, or graphics tablet. Then there is another USB-A port and a USB-C port that offer 5 gigabits per second for data storage devices. We measured the speed with a Lacie Rugged Mini SSD at 348 MB/s (write) and 387 MB/s (read). This is typical for a hub in this speed category and is about 50% lower than directly on the Mac.
With dual HDMI connectors, users can connect two displays in 4K/60Hz. However, Mac limitations only allow mirroring if two displays are connected simultaneously.
The memory card reader supports a maximum UHS-I speed. We tested a Samsung Pro Ultimate and measured 77MB/s (write) and 88MB/s (read). This puts the Revodok Pro 210’s memory card reader slightly below dedicated UHS-I memory card readers. If you have a faster memory card for a high-resolution video camera, this may not be ideal, unless you’re willing to wait a little longer than usual for file transfers.

The Gigabit Ethernet connection does without LEDs and achieves a good speed of around 65MB/s (write) and 75MB/s (read). While 10Gbit speeds would be preferable, it would affect the price of this hub.
Of the 100 watts input, a maximum of 85 watts is available for the MacBook. The permanently installed cable with a fabric sheath is 30 centimeters long.
The hub’s bulky design is a little off-putting at first, but it has the advantage of not overheating the Revodok Pro 210. The main drawback is that the port labels are difficult to read.
Should you buy the Ugreen Revodok Pro 210?
You can find hubs with more ports or faster ports, but you’ll pay more. The Revodok Pro 210 is a good hub for users who need more ports and don’t need the fastest port speeds.
