      Expensive Piece of Junk

      If you'd like to spend 80 bucks on an accessory that will cause your external monitor to blink on and off all day long... look no further!!! This is the access If you'd like to spend 80 bucks on an accessory that will cause your external monitor to blink on and off all day long... look no further!!! This is the accessory you've been dreaming of. I've tried different monitors. I've tried different HDMI cables. Nothing seems to help. This thing is incredibly frustrating to use. If you do decide to call support, expect to be on the phone for an hour only to be told "try plugging it into another port" on your single port usb-c macbook...

      WARNING - Bad Hardware

      This adaptor has severe compatibility issues with external hard drives that can result in LOSS OF DATA. Apple even lists a few drives (including their own Super This adaptor has severe compatibility issues with external hard drives that can result in LOSS OF DATA. Apple even lists a few drives (including their own SuperDrive, pre 2011) than don't work with this adaptor, but there are more that don't work - both for storage OR Time Machine (!). This is really bizarre since the other USB-C to USB-A adaptor WILL work, but since this adaptor doesn't supply power to your MacBook, it's not a long term solution. In the instances where the Multiport adaptor DOES work with an external hard drive, it can experience drastically reduced speeds and randomly unmount the drive. The straight USB adaptor, with the same drive, does not show these issues. I can't believe Apple put this on the market without 1) more rigorous testing and 2) with this serious an issue. Having an external hard drive work with your laptop is a pretty important requirement. Terrible, terrible piece of equipment. I was an Apple employee and have worked with Macs for decades. This issue was diagnosed with a genius at an Apple Store after we went through several Multiport and regular USB adaptors, and then followed up with additional testing at home. Apple should be ashamed.

      If You're Going to Require Adapters, At Least Make Them Work...

Using it with my 2017 MacBook Pro 13" TouchBar, I can charge through it and use HDMI (which is terrible because the color is awful so I use a different adapter for Mini Display Port Functionality), but the USB function is useless. Drives don't mount, they disconnect randomly when they do mount, half my files don't show up and then I have to force eject. I don't have this issue when using the cheap, off-brand USB-C adapters from Amazon. A shame Apple couldn't get this right and make it usable and useful for actual professionals: 1. Ditch HDMI as that's a garbage connection for REAL work and replace it with a Mini Display Port Adapter. There are still a lot of useable displays out there that use Mini Display. HDMI is terrible for color reproduction and design work. 2. Make sure that it actually works for mounting drives, etc. It's hit or miss and terribly frustrating.

      Not sure why the bad reviews

      Yes it's expensive, but it does the job. I tried it on two monitors and the screen does not flicker or do anything wrong. It works like it's suppose to.

      Horrible

      despite this device not being discreet and spending a lot of money for this laptop, you now have to buy a device that doesn't work properly, and on top of that, despite this device not being discreet and spending a lot of money for this laptop, you now have to buy a device that doesn't work properly, and on top of that, only gives you one standard USB port, I don't know why they just couldn't include it in the first place.
