Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Does it provide two 10 Gbps USB-A data ports and a full-size SD reader?
Yes. Both USB-A data sockets are advertised at 10 Gbps. The manufacturer explicitly corrects the SD4.0 reader figure to 312MB/s; these remain interface ratings rather than measured transfers.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I use one 4K60 HDMI screen and charge a suitable laptop at 80 W?
Yes, in the documented compatible DP1.4/DSC arrangement with a suitable separate 100 W source and cable. Maximum laptop output is 85 W; named M1 and DSC exceptions still apply.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the USB-C socket accept a data drive, or is there a microSD reader?
No. The USB-C socket is PD input only, and the complete port map has full-size SD without microSD. Choose another layout if those connections are essential.
Explore this need in the finder →A focused hub for two fast USB-A accessories and a camera card
The Anker A8366 PowerExpand 6-in-1 USB-C 10 Gbps Hub combines two USB-A data sockets, one HDMI output, a full-size SD reader, a 3.5 mm audio connection and a dedicated PD charging input. It is useful when those are the connections your laptop lacks. It does not add downstream USB-C data, Ethernet or a microSD slot.
That specific layout matters more than the shared PowerExpand name. A8365 is a different six-in-one product with Ethernet and a USB-C data connection. Choose by the exact model and physical roles rather than assuming that two Anker products with six functions are interchangeable.
Both USB-A data sockets are advertised at 10 Gbps
Anker identifies the two downstream USB-A sockets as USB 3.1 Gen 2, with advertised data rates up to 10 Gbps. This makes A8366 relevant if you have two compatible rectangular-plug data accessories and do not want one of them limited by a USB 2.0-only socket on a mixed-speed hub.
The ports are explicitly for data, not video or charging. Their interface ratings are not measured copying speeds or a guarantee of two independent full-speed paths to the computer. The attached devices, cables and shared upstream connection still determine the practical transfer arrangement.
The USB-C socket on the hub is a charging input only. It cannot accept a USB-C data accessory or a USB-C display cable as an equivalent use. If a USB-C drive is central to your routine, select a model that positively documents a downstream data socket of that type.
Single-screen HDMI depends on the computer's DP capability
Anker specifies up to 4K60 with a DisplayPort 1.4-capable laptop and up to 4K30 with DisplayPort 1.2. Those are conditional modes, not a promise that every USB-C-shaped computer port can run the highest refresh rate. The source computer must supply the intended native display function.
The manufacturer's notes also exclude 4K60 through this hub for certain computers without the needed Display Stream Compression support, including Surface Pro 7, 930QCG and Spectre x 360. M1 MacBook Pro is specifically noted among configurations that do not support the stated 4K60 arrangement. For that case, establish the usable lower mode for the exact computer rather than assuming a later chip behaves identically.
The complete A8366 layout has one HDMI output. A generic two-monitor sentence in the manufacturer's notes does not create another physical video route. Choose a different documented arrangement if two independent external desktops are essential, rather than counting the power-only USB-C inlet as another display connection.
The full-size SD reader has an explicit unit correction
Anker specifies an SD 4.0 reader up to 312 MB/s and explicitly corrects a manual printing error that used Mb/s. The capital B matters: the manufacturer identifies the intended figure as megabytes per second. This is still an advertised reader-interface ceiling, not a benchmark of a particular card or file import.
There is no microSD slot in this six-function layout. If your camera or other equipment uses microSD, decide whether an appropriate separate card adapter fits the workflow instead of treating the two card shapes as interchangeable physical openings. A built-in microSD reader is a different feature to request in the finder.
Power to the laptop is lower than PD input
The dedicated USB-C charging inlet is specified up to 100 W input, with up to 85 W available to the laptop. Anker states that the charger and charging cable are separate. Plan a suitable source and cable rather than reading the 100 W input label as power the hub provides on its own.
The computer also determines the charging level it accepts. This is a pass-through arrangement for a documented compatible host, not a replacement for checking that computer's charging requirements. The two USB-A data sockets are not alternative charging paths for the laptop or dedicated high-power accessory outlets.
A small port mix with clear exclusions
The published body measures about 110 × 55 × 19 mm excluding the cable and weighs about 112 g. Anker names earlier MacBooks, several Windows laptops, Pixelbook examples and specific iPad Pro and Air generations. Follow those actual references and the display-specific caveats, rather than interpreting a model year as proof of every later Apple chip.
Shortlist A8366 for one supported HDMI screen, two 10 Gbps USB-A data sockets, full-size SD and separately sourced laptop charging. Choose another model for Ethernet, microSD, downstream USB-C data or a second independent external display. Its value lies in a focused storage-and-card workflow, provided that the exact host can deliver your chosen display mode.
