I'm looking for a large USB hub, but one that connects to a PC using a SATA interface for increased bandwidth?

I take it you don't know then?

For those asking, it will be used for simultaneous drive backups...hence the need for greater bandwith. If I've got 20 drives all backing up, I'm gonna need a bit more than an unsustained 480Mbps

Unless it is a very special device I can't see the USB >SATA interface going any faster than USB speeds.

It won't be a USB>SATA interface, it will be a USB controller that is connected to the PC through SATA.

Think of it as putting a bigger fuse (or using higher rated wire) in a multi-socket mains adapter.

Could you not house them in another PC in removeable caddies?

Not practically no.
