00:00All right, so we're back at it with some more MacBook Neo testing. In my last video,
00:03I showed you how you can use this 2N7 USB-C hub, and even though we do get this warning,
00:09use the other port for display, this still works. But something a lot of you guys brought up that
00:14I'm going to be testing today are the transfer speeds connected, so let's find out. So here's
00:18what's super interesting. I'm using the disk speed test app, and I ran this both plugged directly
00:23into the 3.2, then plugged into here, and then plugged into here, and here are the results.
00:30So you can see on average after running this for a couple minutes, plugged in directly,
00:34we get about 550 write and about 830 read. And now with our dock, plugged in directly to our top
00:41port, we're getting roughly the same speed, about 550 and about 830. Now what happens when we do the
00:49same thing connected to our second USB-C port? Starts off fast and then immediately drops down.
00:54Our write speeds drop down to about 45, our read speeds drop down to about 36. So a huge decrease
01:02just by switching. But let's now use the same drive, switching over to our first USB Type-A port.
01:08Roughly the same speed, about 45 write, about 36 read. Now what about our SD card speeds? Obviously,
01:14this does not have its own built-in reader, so we can't do an apples to apples. But I will
01:18switch to
01:18this direct SD card reader afterwards so you can see just how much of a difference there is. About 50,
01:2435, all about the same. So this is my Ugreen SD card reader. Yeah, much faster, right? Yes,
01:32you're not going to be getting the full transfer speeds on basically every other port here. But
01:40the important thing is you still have what feels like full speeds on your primary USB-C. It would
01:48seem to me that those other ones are being fed through the second USB 2.0. So you are limited
01:54by those speeds. But the reason this hub is still really cool to me is that I can get all
02:00these
02:00additional accessories connected in a rather sleek and flush mounted solution on the MacBook Neo. And the
02:10fact that this still works is super impressive to me.
