Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can I use HDMI and wired Gigabit networking together?
Yes, from the documented suitable USB-C laptop arrangement the hub provides one 4K30 HDMI output and Gigabit Ethernet.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I connect a USB-C drive and a charger to that one socket?
No. It is one shared USB-C data/PD socket. Using it for charging leaves the two USB-A data ports, but not a free downstream USB-C data socket.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the second video socket mean two independent external desktops?
That is not established. The manual describes HDMI and VGA together at 1080p but does not confirm separate extended desktops, so a two-screen requirement does not pass.

The Inateck SC01006 combines modern laptop connectivity with a legacy display option. Its attached USB-C lead connects the computer to two USB-A data ports, a shared USB-C data and charging socket, HDMI, VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, SD and microSD readers. The VGA connector is the feature that may make it more useful at an older office desk than a smaller HDMI-only adapter.
The exact original manual also makes several limits clear. The extra USB-C socket cannot send video, and it cannot hold a charger and a data accessory at the same time. The two display sockets should not be treated as a confirmed two-desktop solution. Those distinctions matter more than a broad multiport headline.
Choose the display connection you actually need
HDMI is specified for up to 3840×2160 at 30Hz. VGA is separately specified for up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz. Those are distinct output modes, not an interchangeable 4K capability across both connectors. For an older VGA monitor or projector, the latter may be the relevant function; for a 4K HDMI screen, the 30Hz ceiling is the deciding limit.
The manual says HDMI and VGA working together have a total output resolution up to 1080p. It does not establish that the two outputs become independent extended desktops on a particular Windows or Mac computer. We therefore do not use the presence of two sockets to qualify it for a two-independent-screen requirement.
Video also depends on the host computer. The manual explicitly warns that HDMI and VGA do not work from a USB-C port that lacks video capability. It names Windows 7, 8 and 10 and Mac OS, without documenting every later Apple-chip family. The connector's shape alone is not a compatibility check.
The shared USB-C socket requires a choice
Two USB-A ports support 5 Gbps data. One also supports BC1.2 device charging at up to 5 V and 1.5 A, with the manual noting that an external power adapter is needed to fully use that feature. This is accessory charging rather than a laptop Power Delivery output from that USB-A socket.
The additional USB-C socket supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data at 5 Gbps or receives a charger for upstream computer charging. It is one physical socket. Plug in a charger and you no longer have that socket available for a USB-C drive. The two USB-A ports remain, but a requirement for USB-C data and laptop charging together needs a different layout.
The same USB-C socket explicitly lacks DisplayPort Alt Mode output. A USB-C-to-HDMI cable connected there will not create another display. Use the hub's documented HDMI or VGA connection instead.
Power headlines need room for the hub itself
The manual quotes 20 V, 5 A and 100 W for the PD arrangement. Its troubleshooting section also explains that the hub retains power to operate, and gives an example of an 87 W charger delivering 62 W to the computer. It refers to around 15 W for the hub, without providing a consistent universal net-output calculation.
That is enough to establish a computer-charging function, but not a guaranteed numerical wattage available to every laptop. Supply an appropriate charger yourself: the listed package contains the SC01006 and its instructions. When a demanding laptop needs a specific net power minimum, choose a model that documents that budget directly.
Networking, cards and carrying
The Ethernet interface supports 10/100/1000 Mbps links. SD and microSD readers are present, although simultaneous operation is not established in the reviewed English material. A two-card transfer workflow therefore needs separate confirmation rather than an assumption based on the slot count.
The aluminum hub is listed at 135 g and 12.5×6×1.4 cm. Its integral host cable stores in the body, which helps keep the travel piece together while making cable replacement less flexible than a detachable arrangement. Choose it around a specific HDMI or VGA setup, Ethernet and USB-A accessories; choose differently for verified dual desktops, simultaneous USB-C data and charging, or a guaranteed net laptop-power figure.

| Host requirements | Attached host cable stores in the body; computer USB-C must itself support video for HDMI/VGA use. |
| Screen arrangement | HDMI up to 4K30; VGA up to 1920×1200 at 60Hz. Manual reduces simultaneous HDMI/VGA output to 1080p but does not establish independent extended desktops, so no two-desktop plan is invented. |
| Power and charging | Shared USB-C PD/data socket: source quotes 20V5A100 W and explains hub consumption, including an 87 W-to 62 W example. No guaranteed net laptop-power ceiling is assigned. |
| Data and device limits | Two USB-A ports and the shared USB-C data mode are 5 Gbps. The USB-C socket explicitly does not support DP Alt Mode output. |
