Bought for business travel purposes and so far has never let me down for equipment testing purposes.
The hub gets quite hot, but the aluminum case seems to be working to dissipate the heat. The big issue comes when you try to use the ethernet port. It works briefly then ceases and then the settings app crashes and you will need to reboot the tablet. However once you shut it down it wont boot back up and you need to force start the tablet.

I have now owned the Satechi MultiPort Hub for over 5 years and it has worked flawlessly. I have it plugged into my 2017 MacBook Pro and use the HDMI port to power my Acer 24" monitor, run wired Ethernet, and use two Logitech Bluetooth USB Type 2 ports for my wireless mouse and keyboard. The only thing I don't like is the mini sd card reader which is a pain in the ass to insert a card. It can be equally as difficult if not worse trying to eject it. I have never used the power delivery feature, nor would I ever. I would not want such a small device passing power through to an expensive laptop. The USB-C is too short IMO and it doesn't provide the tightest fit into my MacBook Pro. Finally, I would not recommend running an external drive continually off this hub because it can generate a lot of heat. Aside from these gripes, this hub has lasted a LOT longer than I ever hoped it would.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I just received my new Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2 today and I LOVE it! I have been researching USB-C hubs for over a month, watched and read hundreds of reviews, and finally decided on the Satechi because of the features and price. Other hubs with all of these options are easily twice as much, larger in size and require a battery brick which was a dealbreaker for me.
The Satechi Adapter has a very sleek and minimal design and the space gray color matches my 2017 MacBook Pro perfectly. I am using it to connect an Apple USB Keyboard, LaCie Rugged USB External Drive, Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet, 23.5-inch ASUS (1920 x 1080) 60Hz Display, and Ethernet Cable for internet. All of these stay connected throughout the day, and have been working flawlessly.
Also, as an important note, the Satechi gets warm and not hot most of the day. However, the only time it does get a little hot is when I run hourly backups through my LaCie Rugged External Drive. I have not tried the Power Delivery since I don't need it, so maybe that is why it gets hot for others. My only ding is that the USB-A ports are upside down and they can be difficult to plug a USB device into. You can hear metal grinding when you plug into the USB-A ports, but maybe it's a good thing to have such a tight fit.
I plan on updating my review after 2-4 weeks to confirm the reliability and quality of the awesome (so far)
Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2.
UPDATE: June 16, 2018
I have used the Satechi Adapter every day for three months and it is doing great. My only real complaint so far is that the HDMI can be a little flaky. If you accidentally move the Satechi too much or bump it, then the HDMI connection goes out and then you have to unplug and replug the adapter back into your computer. Kind of annoying but not too bad.
Also, it took me some time to figure out how to get the HDMI to consistently work with my external monitor. I am using a 2017 MacBook Pro and you have to open the lid and wait until the login screen appears before turning on the monitor. For some reason the Satechi HDMI port does not immediately recognize my MacBook Pro and monitor upon boot. I would prefer just turning on my monitor and MacBook Pro and not having to wait to turn on my monitor.

I have been researching USB-C hubs for over a month, watched and read hundreds of reviews, and finally decided on the Satechi because of the features and price. Other hubs with all of these options are easily twice as much, larger in size and require a battery brick which was a dealbreaker for me.
The Satechi Adapter has a very sleek and minimal design and the space gray color matches my 2017 MacBook Pro perfectly. I am using it to connect an Apple USB Keyboard, LaCie Rugged USB External Drive, Wacom Intuos Pro Tablet, 23.5-inch ASUS (1920 x 1080) 60Hz Display, and Ethernet Cable for internet. All of these stay connected throughout the day, and have been working flawlessly.
Also, as an important note, the Satechi gets warm and not hot most of the day. However, the only time it does get a little hot is when I run hourly backups through my LaCie Rugged External Drive. I have not tried the Power Delivery since I don't need it, so maybe that is why it gets hot for others. My only ding is that the USB-A ports are upside down and they can be difficult to plug a USB device into. You can hear metal grinding when you plug into the USB-A ports, but maybe it's a good thing to have such a tight fit.
I plan on updating my review after 2-4 weeks to confirm the reliability and quality of the awesome (so far)
Satechi Aluminum Multi-Port Adapter V2.
UPDATE: June 16, 2018
I have used the Satechi Adapter every day for three months and it is doing great. My only real complaint so far is that the HDMI can be a little flaky. If you accidentally move the Satechi too much or bump it, then the HDMI connection goes out and then you have to unplug and replug the adapter back into your computer. Kind of annoying but not too bad.
Also, it took me some time to figure out how to get the HDMI to consistently work with my external monitor. I am using a 2017 MacBook Pro and you have to open the lid and wait until the login screen appears before turning on the monitor. For some reason the Satechi HDMI port does not immediately recognize my MacBook Pro and monitor upon boot. I would prefer just turning on my monitor and MacBook Pro and not having to wait to turn on my monitor.
The good:
The USB-A 3.0 works fine.
The bad:
The power delivery is capped at 60w delivery, which is pretty low. A lot of reviewers complaining about their's getting really hot. That is because they are sending more than 60w through it and, laws of thermodynamics, the extra energy needs to go somewhere so the mechanism gets VERY hot. So you have to use a low power charger, which is pretty weak. 60w? really?
The ugly:
The ethernet port is useless on a Mac. And they market it as being made for macbook air/pro. But it will hijack your router and crash it.
I got a faulty device originally that had this ethernet issue, but also HDMI did not work at all either. So went to exchange it for another within days of receiving the first one and I had to pay for shipping back ($17), which is a terrible policy to get a bad device and then you have to pay 25% more for the broken device to send it back so you can get one that actually works--works more at least, still doesn't work.
Got the new device and HDMI worked, but same issue with ethernet. Did not work. Would work for a very short period and then actually screw up the router configuration. So no device on the network worked. This happened with both of the products I received. They completely crashed the config on my router.
So I way overpaid for a device that doesn't work. I don't think I would recommend this to anyone in their right mind.
