Overview
- Satechi opened preorders at $399.99 at CES 2026, with shipments expected in Q1 and a 20% launch promo code (CES2026) offered by the company and retailers.
- The 5x5x2‑inch aluminum unit includes three Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, 10Gbps USB‑C and USB‑A, UHS‑II SD and microSD slots, 2.5Gb Ethernet, a headphone jack, and a front power button.
- An integrated NVMe enclosure (PCIe 4×4) supports up to 8TB with roughly 6,000 MB/s transfers, aided by adaptive active cooling for sustained performance.
- The 180W power supply delivers up to 140W to a host laptop and 30W for peripherals, while display support varies by system up to triple 8K/60Hz or triple 4K/144Hz on supported Windows hosts and dual 6K/60Hz on recent Macs.
- Satechi’s separate Thunderbolt 5 Pro Cable ($39.99) supports 120Gbps uni‑directional or 80Gbps bi‑directional throughput, 240W power delivery, and up to dual 8K/60Hz or triple 4K/144Hz displays, as PCWorld notes broader PC TB5 adoption may lag.
