Satechi's latest MacBook Pro and USB-C iPad peripheral is the Hybrid Multiport Adapter that brings together a powerful USB hub as well as space for a SSD.
The hub adds four ports to your Mac — HDMI, two USB, and USB-C. Both USB ports are USB-A 3.0 ports while the HDMI port supports 4K output at 60Hz. The USB-C PD power can handle up to 100W of power to your Mac or iPad with USB-C.
By sliding off the top of the USB-C hub you'll reveal an M.2 SSD bay where you can add storage. It supports transferring data up to 5Gbps.
As it connects over USB-C it is compatible not only with Mac, but iPad Air, iPad mini, and iPad Pro as well.
It is available to order now in Space Gray or black for $89.99 but currently has a $5 coupon on Amazon.

This screams to be a thunderbolt/USB4 dock. That it’s not is silly, and no sale for me.
Satechi was always bottom-of-barrel products anyways so surprise.
The article fails to mention that the two USB-A ports are DATA ONLY.
The fact that it's only 5Gbps is ridiculous considering that m.2 speed goes beyond that speed and that USB 3 is a significant bottleneck.
