Only 60 watts. Says it's USB-C compatible though. That's unusual for a thunderbolt hub.

I've seen a few others with a similiar design (Anker and Iviin). I'm looking for a small Thunderbolt hub to use with my Mac Mini. Most of the Thunderbolt hub/docks cost alot more.

I ordered one seeing the price droppy $30.00 bucks. Hate the front port is the one to connect to your computer. The Iviin has better port locations for $130.00, butI've never heard of that brand and WOOT is the seller.

I got this the last time it was $99. Competing devices are more like $160. Works well. The only downside I can see is that when the computer it is connected to turns off, this hub doesnt and stays lit. The other thing (not a downside) is that since it is a thunderbolt 4 hub, on M1 macs, connecting a USB 3.1r2 device means the mac USB controller still runs it at a slow speed.

Not with the intel thunderbolt 4 chips. It has built in compatibility with USB 3.1r2. (I think that is what you meant)

I use mine (the CalDigit version) for quick access to temporary high-speed drives, peripherals, etc.
My Mac Studio is under my desk, and I used a 2m TB4 cable to put the dock on top of my desk. No more fumbling around for the rear ports on the Mac!

I have been using this thing for months — I paid a lot more than this.

It's perfect for the older MacBooks with only 2 TB ports. I use a bunch of external displays with additional hubs and devices.

Nice find OP. I wish it was a little bit lower in price. I know it's asking a lot compared to other devices. thanks

Still available on Amazon for this price for those that need, not sure why marked as expired. OWC may be charging for shipping now.

If your hub has a pin hole, in the front to the right of the USB 3.2, you should be able to adust the light according to the information I found.

Sorry, wasnt clear - the downside is that it still stays powered on as evidenced by the light. The issue is that the 24 hour power draw even if your computer is off adds up unless you manually unplug it when your computer is off, which is a pain.
