As the MacBook Pro is updated year by year, the hardware body is getting stronger and stronger, but the update speed of peripheral accessories still cannot keep up, and additional USB-A and VGA transmission interfaces will still be needed. Even this year’s new MacBook Pro also relies on USB Type-C. The hub hub can solve it. If you want to buy a hub that can be used in daily life or work, it is recommended to start with the ADAM CASA Hub A09 9-in-1 high-speed hub, which can meet the needs of all working environments at one time.
Yaguo Elements CASA Hub A09 Unboxing Review
The outer box of Yago CASA Hub A09 is in a simple white style, and the 9-in-1 hub features are displayed directly below, including 100W USB-C PD power supply, USB 3.1 Gen2 10Gbps high-speed transmission, 4K UHD output, VGA 1080p jack and SD/microSD Card Card reader, and a super attractive 3-year warranty.
You don’t need to open the outer box, you can directly open it to see the body and color of the CASA Hub A09.
Compared with the previous generation A08, the appearance of the CASA Hub A09 has a smoother edge design, and the overall grip is smoother. The material part is made of aluminum alloy. It is worth noting that the latest heat dissipation material is introduced this time. High-speed conduction can quickly discharge heat energy. Exactly the same as MacBook Space Gray.
The outer layer of the hub wire is made of strong nylon braided wire with top gauge, which can avoid the damage of the wire caused by direct pulling or bending, prolong the life of the wire and product, and reduce the problem of breakage or damage.
The connector part is even more special. It adopts the metal-clad metal reinforced connector design, which can effectively reduce electromagnetic wave interference and reduce the interference of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.
CASA Hub A09 adopts high-speed specifications in almost all transmission holes, supports USB-A 3.1 Gen2 (supports 10Gbps high-speed transmission), and microSD 3.0 and microSDXC 3.0 card slots, even if it is an old MacBook, Windows laptop or iPad Pro / Air can directly read memory card or pen drive data.
other side support [email protected] Output HDMI jack, and USB-A 2.0, the maximum transmission speed is 480Mpbs; the far right is a charging hole that can support 100W USB-C PD 3.0, of course, it is no problem to directly charge the iPhone.
There is also a VGA port on the central edge of the fuselage. There is actually a reason for supporting a VGA connector: the main reason is that some users’ monitors or projectors in the company are still using VGA input, so there is still a market demand for the VGA output port. For users who often have external monitors or projectors for presentations, A09 has both HDMI and VGA to attack and defend, and can adapt to any situation.
In addition, the CASA Hub A09 also comes with an additional protective bag, which can avoid surface scratches caused by friction with other items after random storage, and provide dustproof effect.
Since the weight of CASA Hub A09 is only 120g, which is about the weight of a can of Yakult, it is very lightweight and will not take up too much space if it is placed directly in the jacket pocket or in the interlayer of the bag.
The CASA Hub A09 Hub color scheme and MacBook space gray can present an integrated design, with a very textured appearance, looking rounded corners, and a super-speed match with the 2021 MacBook Pro.
Whether it is USB-C or USB-A, CASA Hub A09 adopts 3.1 Gen 2 high-speed transmission interface, which can reach 10Gbps per second. For example, if you export or import large-capacity 4K video material, such as a basic 4K video of about 10GB, it only takes 10 seconds to complete the transfer. (External devices also need to support USB 3.1 Gen2)
The PNY CS3030 2TB M.2 2280 solid-state drive was read through the CASA Hub A09 USB-C on the 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch, and the measured read speed was 917 MB/s and the write part was 803.9 MB/s. The speed performance is considered to be quite fast.

Whether it is reading USB-A flash drive, USB-C flash drive, SD card, SDXC card, microSD card data, it can be read and plug-and-play at the same time. Whether it is macOS, including Windows, Linux, and Chromebook systems, it can immediately read data in memory cards or flash drives without installing any drivers or software.
PS. USB-C is mainly used for external PD power supply. It is not recommended to charge iPhone, iPad, Android or other devices.
If a CF memory card is used for the SLR camera at hand, it can also be extended through another CF card reader. Just connect the CASA Hub A09 to directly read the data.
It can also be used with high-speed cables to charge the MacBook. In the picture, Yaguo Element CASA C100+ USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen2 is used. The transmission speed can reach up to 10Gbps. The power cable can also support USB-C PD up to 100W. OMNIA X6 65W charger, which can meet the power supply of MacBook Pro at one time.
CASA Hub A09 Extension/Mirror Output Test
Is it true or false that the CASA Hub A09 can output 4K resolution?
Mr. Crazy used the main 4K screen LG 32UD99 at hand for testing. It is indeed possible to use the CASA Hub A09 to easily output mirror or extension mode, and the picture quality and resolution can be reached [email protected], of course, there is no problem with outputting VGA signal alone.

CASA Hub A09 is a very rare Hub product in the market, because it can output HDMI and VGA signals at the same time. For lecturers or business, they often run around with a MacBook or Windows laptop, and often encounter different environments. At this time, CASA Hub A09 can be very useful.
So how about the simultaneous output of HDMI and VGA? Using the existing LG 32UD99 4K screen and DELL 24-inch VGA screen for testing, it can work normally no matter whether it is in mirror mode or extended mode, and there will be no delay even when playing videos. It is suitable for working at home and connecting to a large screen Chase drama.

Using a thermal imager to measure the temperature, the front surface temperature reaches 40 degrees, and the side temperature will be relatively low. The most important thing is that the CASA Hub A09 adopts a new heat dissipation material technology inside, which can quickly discharge the heat energy generated by high-speed conduction charging. The hub may be hot.
