Super USB-C 5Gbps hub according to "USB 3.2 Gen 1x1" & "USB 3.1 Gen 1"
USB-C hub with 5Gbit/s speed, i.e. according to standards "USB 3.1 Gen 1" and "USB 3.2
Gen 1x1". Works with hard drives, mice, keyboards, USB sticks, webcams, audio devices, etc., i.e. everything that has a USB-C connector and communicates at 5Gbps via the USB 3.1 Gen 1 or . USB 3.2 Gen 1x1 protocol. In short: everything except monitors and Thunderbolt devices such as graphics cards and very fast SSDs (these are limited to 5Gbps = 625MiB/s, which is still extremely fast).
What some buyers probably expected due to the imprecise description is that this hub supports Thunderbolt or legacy modes (HDMI/DisplayPort/etc.),
but a pure USB-C "hub" with USB 3 cannot. This is also logical for the price, if it could do this it would be 3-4x more expensive as it would need more hardware. With USB 4, things look different again.
But in short: The hub is good, the hardware is very good. The problem comes from the inadequate description and the extremely confusing USB-C specification (see also various magazine articles on the topic here on Galaxus).Reliable data and sufficient charging connection for connected peripherals
The hub exchanges data with connected small devices and supplies them with 600-800 mA of power from the laptop battery. That's even enough to slowly charge my old battery-weak iPad Pro while quickly writing to an external SSD without its own power supply. That and no more is what I expected. The fact that you can't connect a monitor or laptop charger to it is clearly stated in the description.
Works great with Rodecaster Pro II & Elgato CamLink 4K
I have connected this hub to my Macbook Pro 16" M1Max so that I can connect both USB-C ports of the Rodecaster Pro II, my Elgato CamLink 4K Capture Stick as well as my Elgato Streamdeck XL.
It works flawlessly! (incl. 4K stream capturing)Pro
- Bi-directional audio without latency or interruption problems
- Elgato CamLink 4K Capture Stick works
Contra
- Cable could be longer
Good, but limited usability
Pro
- valuable
Contra
- cannot transfer images
Basically good, but not enough power
Unfortunately, the Satechi USB-C hub does not work with a Seagate Onetouch disc, which I use as a backup medium for my Macbook Pro.
If I plug the disc directly into the USB-C port of the Macbook, then it works. Ergo, the power supply of the Satechi USB-C will be the problem.The little thing does what it has to. It's really good.
Practical when you run out of USB-C slots
awesome!
Finally a hub that only has USB-C and nothing else. Great, there should be many more.
practical for data - useless for charging
Medium
Contra

Ideal hub for modern IoT projects
Ideal hub to work with the latest generation of microcontrollers (Seeed, Espressif, Adafruit, Lolin, Lilygo, etc.) as well as Saleae Logic Analyzer (Logic Pro 8) with USB-C connection. Just ordered a second one as a spare. I am generally very satisfied with the Satechi quality (hub and cable) for IoT projects. Notebook is a Dell XPS15 9510 with Windows 11 22H2. Design even matches the Dell notebook :-).
