What's with the squealing sound?
on July 5, 2021
Posted by: DaveM1
I love the functionality of this dock but I'm so disappointed that it makes a squealing sound (static?) constantly. I can't work with it as it drives me nuts.
I've see other reviews with the same issue, how can i fix this?
Response from startech.comBy Dan, Customer Support, July 6, 2021
We have occasionally received scattered similar reports, but it’s not clear why the sound level is different in different setups. One of our Technical Advisors will reach out to see if we can help resolve this for you.

A pretty solid dock
on June 16, 2020

Bought for use with my MacBook Pro (15", 2019). Works fine straight out of the box.
Only issue I have is the power delivery - it's not passing through enough power to keep my MBP fully charged, so I still have to connect my Mac to additional power.

Linux drivers

I recently got this after using another StarTech docking device, can't remember the model number. The only issue I am having with this one is that I am not able to use it on Ubuntu 18.04. Would be great if there was drivers available to make this work.

One Cable Maniac
on May 20, 2019
Posted by: Slvrscoobie
I bought this to eliminate clutter and docking time on my macbook pro. it has 4 thunderbolt ports, but plugging them all in was a pain. I was able to use this to allow GigE connection, but more importantly, dual monitors. worked with the thunderbolt 3->2 adapter to allow me to use my dell U2713hm along with a Thunderbolt display from apple. I recently upgraded both monitors to Dell U2715H and was able to use the displayport and the USB-C/thunderbolt to run both monitors.

How is this possible??
on February 28, 2018
Posted by: Danorian
This dock has saved my computer's life. I used to use all four of MBP's thunderbolt 3 ports including the headphone jack. Now I just come in to work and this dock magically does everything through one cable flawlessly. It charges my computer, phone, reads my SD cards, runs my second monitor (4k), speakers, ethernet, printer, and time machine backup. It could do more, but I ran out of peripherals. This dock is seriously amazing. Everyone who comes into my office can't believe how much goes through the single cable to my laptop. Highly recommend!

Great Functionality on this Thunderbolt Dock
on March 20, 2018
Posted by: jrh85674
I have been in the AV/IT Integration space for over 30 years.
This Thunderbolt 3 dock provides connectivity to two 4K Ultra HD monitors. I like the ability that this dock provides 85W of Power Delivery to charge the laptop, while also powering peripherals with its 180W power adapter. What is unique about this dock is that the dock provides direct access to SD memory cards with the onboard SD card slot, which can also be used for additional storage and backup.
What is Included:
1 - Docking Station
1 - Thunderbolt Cable
1 - Instruction Manual
1 - USB-C to Display Port Cable
2 - Power Cords
1 - Universal Power Adapter

Meets all expectations
on February 11, 2019
Posted by: Curt
Everything you could possibly ask for in a docking station - 1) lots of ports; 2) no drivers required; 3) no problems.
Plugged this into my HP Spetre set-up and immediately had power distribution and DP support; I approved the ThunderBolt device and all connected USB devices / external hard drives were recognized.
