There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I have three other power Thunderbolt hubs plugged into to attach roughly 15 various Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C devices. It works great and now I just have this dock, my second monitor, and power cord to my MacBook.
My monitor also flickers then loses signal entirely. For this price and a device meant to streamline your setup, this thing causes more headaches than it solves. I cannot recommend it until they address these fundamental reliability problems.
I've used other units at this price point and this one gives me all I need with both my MacBook Air and my 2019 Mac Mini.
I'm not looking for a lot of monitor connectivity but this unit will certainly give you that via the T/bolt 4 connectors if you need it.
I can charge my MacBook Air, use its other built in USB C/Thunderbolt out AND connect 3 more USB-C / T/bolt devices at 40Gb/s AND connect 3 USB 3.2 devices at 10Gb/s! (AND my mouse dongle in the USB 2 port). PLUS headphones, Ethernet and an SD card slot!
The T/bolt 4's will also send video to a monitor or monitors (using either a USB-C to HDMI or USB-C to display port cable... which of course you would have to purchase separately).
The number of external monitors and resolution available will be dependent upon your computer and its operating system.
I did a speed test with a Samsung T7 drive and it was reading and writing close to 1,000MB/s when connected to this devices T/bolt 4 connectors (using the 2019 Mac Mini). I'm guessing that the T9 would run at close to 2,000.
PS. The MacBook Air M1 WILL NOT give you these speeds... it's a know limitation built into the MB Air laptop... thanks Apple for dumbing down the external drive speed capability. They may have fixed this with the M2's but I don't know.
If you download the OWC app. the unit will supply high power for charging you phone and or tablet etc. quickly. With this app. you can also eject all of the drives connected to it right from an icon on the task bar.
I can't find another dock at this price that gives you so many connections! I probably need to order a second one.

Other than that is is good, speed tests for the SSDs are the same as direct connection (~10 Ggps) on all ports.

E collegabile quindi anche su porte USB C, senza obbligatoriamente avere una porta TB3 o 4.
Le performance si adegueranno alla velocità della porta collegata, come del resto dichiarato nella descrizione del prodotto.
Soddisfatto dell'acquisto!

Schnittstellen: Ausreichend fuer mich, und hier bei Amazon gut genug beschrieben, die Wiederholung spare ich mir. Gut fuer mich ist, dass es einen SD Karten-Slot gibt (das Pro Dock kann stattdessen CFExpress). Ich bin auch mit der einzigen Anschlussmöglichkeit für Monitore, nämlich per USB-C zufrieden, da meine neueren Monitore das können und ich für die älteren allerlei Adapter rumliegen habe. Wenn man allerdings Displayport (DP oder miniDP), HDMI oder gar DVI braucht, dann wird es ohne Adapter nicht gehen, bzw. dann hat OWC besser passende Docks im Angebot (wie das Pro oder das Go).
Das Dock funktioniert fantastisch mit allem, was ich bisher so angeschlossen habe: Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen9 (direkt mit Thunderbolt 3), MacBook Air 2014, 2015, 2017 (alle über Apple Thunderbolt 2 ->3 Adapter) und ein 12-Zoll Macbook 2015, das nur USB-C kann. Anstecken und fertig: Es wird mit 96 W geladen, Peripherie (Funkmaus, Telefonspinne, Lautsprecher, Mikrofon, Scanner, ...) und Netzwerk (1 GbE) funktionieren einfach. Das Bild auf einem per Thunderbolt 4 ( USB-C) verbundenen 2560x1440er Monitor ist stabil und schnell, als wäre er direkt angeschlossen, zusätzlich werden auch die USB-A und -C Ports des Monitors noch transparent mit eingebunden. Die Ports am Dock sind schneller als meine USB-Sticks und Platte, bremsen auch eine NVMe Platte nicht aus. Also wunderbar.
Spulenpiepen höre ich nicht, meine Familie (da hören beneidens- oder bedauernswerter Weise einige noch bis fast 20kHz!) auch nicht.
Zu guter Letzt - mir gefällt das blaue LED Logo aber (auch fuer den Kunden Kevin, dem es zu hell war): Direkt über dem gedruckten weissen Logo auf der Vorderseite ist ein kleines Lock, dort soll man laut Anleitung per Büroklammer die Helligkeit des Logos von hell bis ganz aus einstellen können :)
Also - für alle üblichen Büroanwendungen, Entwicklung, Bildbearbeitung etc. einfach nur fantastisch. Das Ding läuft seit fast zwei Monaten am Stück mit verschiedensten Rechnern, keine Aussetzer, keine übermäßige Wärmeentwicklung. Wer einen Montior hat, der mit USB-C angeschlossen werden kann, der kann hier nichts verkehrt machen. Ich wurde es sofort wieder kaufen (erst Recht fuer 280 EUR), und es gibt Grund zur Annahme, daß meine Frau das für ihr Macbook sogar von mir erwartet ...
Falls diese Rezension hilfreich war, freue ich mich über einen Druck auf den "Hilfreich" Knopf, damit ich sehe, ob die Zeit gut investiert ist.
Update 11/2023: MacBook Air 2014, 2015, 2017 (alle über Apple Thunderbolt 2 ->3 Adapter) klappt doch nicht so richtig, das habe ich mit dem Pro Dock verwechselt, wo es prima geht. An diesem jedoch geht es nicht - hier kann man die älteren Thunderbolt-2 Geräte nur per USB Uplink an das Dock anschliessen, aber dann geht Grafikausgabe und natürlich Thunderbolt leider nicht, man muss den Bildschirm separat über Minidisplayport ans Macbook anschließen und das Ganze ist eher ein teures USB Dock.
Update 2/2024: Mein Dock läuft nach wie vor prima und wird mit Intel-basierten Thinkpads und Macbooks genutzt. Im Juli hatte ich dann ein zweites für meine Frau erworben, das lief ab September mit einem Intel-basierten HP laptop und ab Oktober oder so auch noch gelegentlich mit einem 2022er Apple Macbook Air mit M2 Prozessor. Und an diesem hatte es Anfang Februar denselben Ausfall wie bei Kunde sebastian vor einem Monat: Ein leichtes "peng" im Dock, das Logo ging aus, die angeschlossene Peripherie ging aus. Ende. Am Netzteil lag es nicht - das ging mit meinem Dock noch problemlos. Der Intel-Laptop kann nicht über USB-C geladen werden und hing deshalb immer am eigenen Netzeil, aber das MBA zieht auch eher wenig Strom (ca. 30 Watt), da sollte das Dock nicht an die Grenzen kommen. Offenbar ein Problem mit der Dimensionierung oder dem Qualitätsmanagement. Rückabwicklung über Amazon war erfreulich schnell erledigt und nun hängen die Rechner meiner Frau an einem OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, das hoffentlich länger hält.

The dock has lots of connection options and is easy to set up.
Having not used Thunderbolt 3/4 before, the only issue for me was figuring out that the Thunderbolt / USB 4 output on the Mac needs to be plugged into the front of the OWC dock (see photo) - that makes it a little less neat and means access for other devices is around the back, but not a major problem for me.
Apart from that, it works very well and connections to Time Machine, Scanner, etc. work smoothly and very fast.

The dock has lots of connection options and is easy to set up.
Having not used Thunderbolt 3/4 before, the only issue for me was figuring out that the Thunderbolt / USB 4 output on the Mac needs to be plugged into the front of the OWC dock (see photo) - that makes it a little less neat and means access for other devices is around the back, but not a major problem for me.
Apart from that, it works very well and connections to Time Machine, Scanner, etc. work smoothly and very fast.
