Product Description

Element Hub main image

Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub

The CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 Element Hub is the first of its kind, offering 4x the performance of traditional USB-C hubs, whilst harnessing the power of Thunderbolt 4 in order to create a device without compromises. Every Element Hub workflow will be different from the next, bringing with it the potential for incredibly unique set-ups, only limited by your imagination.

Connect what you need, when you need.

Ultimate Compatibility

Of course the Element Hub is not only for Thunderbolt 4 users. This versatile device is backwards compatible with Thunderbolt 3, USB-C, and USB 4.

This means that the Element Hub will adapt to the connected host computer in order to provide the features available to you, making the Element Hub an ideal solution for multi-workflow environments. In addition, the included Thunderbolt 4 cable is compatible with Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt 3, USB-C and USB 4 Type-C computers.

Built-in USB Ports

Whilst the Element Hub’s Thunderbolt 4 ports add a wealth of connectivity potential, the built-in USB-A 10Gb/s ports (USB 3.2 Gen.2) allow you to easily connect up to four high-performance USB-A devices such as ultra-fast NVMe SSDs.

Speed Icon
Don’t Compromise On Speed

The Thunderbolt 4 ports are capable of speeds up to 3,000MB/s in order to take advantage of your ultra-fast storage devices. That is 8.5x the performance of a typical 5Gb/s USB-C hub, which offers speeds around 350MB/s from its USB-A ports.

iPad Pro & Windows Tablets

As the Element Hub is a Thunderbolt 4/USB4 device, it is compatible with USB-C tablets such as the iPad Pro or Windows tablets.

Simply connect the Element Hub to your tablet and take advantage of the connectivity options.

Monitor Compatibility

The fact that the Element Hub has multiple Thunderbolt 4 ports means that you can connect to any type of monitor you require.

You can directly connect a USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 monitor for simple plug and play simplicity. Alternatively you can use a USB-C Video Adapter to connect an HDMI or DisplayPort monitor.

When connected to a Thunderbolt 4 host computer the Element Hub is capable of adding a monitor up to 8K resolution, or dual 4K 60Hz monitors in either extended or mirrored modes.

Tablet & Ultrabook Charging

The Element Hub not only offers versatile connectivity options, it will also charge a Tablet or Ultrabook at up to 60W through the [Computer] port.

Unlike other Thunderbolt 4 hubs on the market, the Element Hub has a fixed 60W laptop charging function. Whilst other Thunderbolt 4 hubs reduce their laptop charging capabilities down to 30W charging or lower when the hub is fully loaded, the Element Hub will consistently provide 60W of charging if connecting to the laptop such as MacBook Pro 13″.

A Powerful Offline Charging Station

The Element Hub can even work for you when it’s not connected to your computer. Keep your USB-A or USB-C devices connected to the Element Hub and it will continue to charge them. All 8 ports on the Element Hub can be used at the same time for offline charging.

Not Full Speed As Claimed
4 Stars
Not Full Speed As Claimed
Knocked one star off for speed claims. I really don't dislike this hub, but it's not "40GB/Sec" on all ports as claimed. No issues at all running my 4K 60Hz monitor with even my Thunderbolt SSD Drive, 2 USB 3.2 hubs, and a USB-C to10GBit Ethernet adapter. However, the drive loses about 800MB/Sec on the write speeds compared to connecting it straight to my M1 MacBook Pro Max. Speeds are the same if the SSD is the only device connected also. It's still faster than I truly need for editing 2-Camera 4K footage, but it's important to note. Nice to have ALL my devices connect through one cable though and work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well for an SSD dock I made.
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2022
I needed a four port SSD dock I could use for updating my external SSD backup drives. I had been using four TRIM compatible enclosures connected to the four USB ports on the left side of my laptop (see the last photo below) but it was a pain (guess where) to set up and tear down every time I updated my backups and ate up too much precious space on top of my desk.

I could find only two SSD only docks but they were too bulky and would be too slow since all four or five ports ran off a single USB 3.0 connection (up to 5.0Gbps) so I built my own dock from four cut down 2.5" TRIM compatible enclosures and connected them to the four USB Type a ports on the Element hub. I run the hub off a Thunderbolt 3 port (20Gbps) on the laptop (that provides up to 5 or 6Gbps, the max for SATA, per drive, depending on how many drives are being written to at the time.

The dock/hub stay setting on top of my desk. The enormous PSU is Velcroed to the side of my desk to keep it out of sight and out of the way but still easy to access if I need to.

Redneck as it sounds, it works great and doesn't look too bad. Not only does it run faster than my old setup, it takes up less space, is less hassle to use, and I still have three USB ports available on the left side of my laptop. The hub itself gets a bit warm when in use, but nowhere hot enough I can't comfortably hold my hand on it. Curiously, the PSU stays cool. I have the PSU power cord plugged into a switched outlet cube located where I can easily reach it from my desk so I can turn off the dock/hub when not in use.

TRIM works through the hub. I'm using Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon 64-bit.

Since the four USB type A ports will max out Thunderbolt three, I do not plan on using the other three ports on the other side. They are too inconvenient to get to anyway.

For some odd reason, the dock/hub will not work on the Thunderbolt ports on the other two laptops I have built on the same Clevo chassis as my daily driver. I suspect there may be a driver issue there. Those laptops are just backups and for travel so I'm not losing sleep over it.
