Thunderbolt 3 DP 1.4 8K Docking Station with Dual M.2 NVMe SSD & 96W Power Delivery - Dual 4K 60Hz resolution - TAA Compliant

It works well with my 2023 Macbook M3 Pro. All of the connections function as expected, including the DisplayPort output and the ethernet port. I appreciate having only one connection for all my input/output needs and power.A couple of comments regarding the internal storage. If buying a SSD, make sure you buy one that includes the screw to secure it. My unit did not include any screws to secure the memory sticks, and many M.2 SSDs do not include the screws. If you need a screw it is an M2.5. With the internal storage I've run into an issue with not being able to eject the internal drive so that I can disconnect my MacBook from the dock. I get a message stating that the drive cannot be unmounted because some process is accessing it, even though all the applications are closed. If I log out and back in I'm able to eject the drive, so it's not a major issue.

This Thunderbolt docking station is just what I needed to set up my workspace. I needed connections to my external monitors without a barrage of wires in every direction. It's good quality and easy to set up.My Review Criteria: I do not review anything that I don't want/need for my own personal use and I have enough knowledge about it to provide accurate and useful details. I do tell it like it is and I am not influenced to provide feedback that isn't based on facts or my own experience. Therefore you can trust my unbiased review as if I were a friend looking out for your best interest and that of your hard-earned money.

This is a super fast, easy set up piece of equipment. I am extremely happy, especially for the price.Everything is working well, but if anything changes I will come back and will update this review.

I tested this mostly with a Thinkpad X1 Nano Gen 1, but also some on the 14in Macbook Pro and, the Thinkpad Z16 Gen 1, and the Thinkpad P14s Gen 4. Interestingly, it seems to have pretty good support for AMD's USB4 implementation.Power delivery is 96W according to macOS and Lenovo vantage. It's not the perfect 100W, but it's close enough and should do fine on a lot of devices, including the Intel Macbook Pros and definitely the Apple Silicon Macbook Pros, in addition to a lot of Windows ultrabooks. It does have a pretty large 150W power supply, there's enough cable length, but you definitely need to find somewhere to stow this thing.The ports are decent, you get 5Gbps USB-A, 10Gbps USB-C, a SD card, and headphone+mic jack at the front, and then 5Gbps USB-A, 10Gbps USB-A, DisplayPort, ethernet, and an additional Thunderbolt passthrough port on the back. I did test my NVME m.2 Thunderbolt 3 enclosure, and the Thunderbolt 3 port on the back is working at full speed. It's interesting they went with Displayport instead of HDMI.Build quality is excellent, it's an aluminum shell with internals that slide in. There's 2 thumb screws on the back that when loosened, allows the internals to slide out from the front. This gives access to the internals, and after removing 2 phillips screws, gives you access to the 2 m.2 ports. I find it odd that the m.2 mounting doesn't have the screws already on there, but is instead included in a separate plastic bag in the box. There's some massive thermal pads that seems to be used for cooling, and interestingly an unused 3-pin fan header (maybe there's a design that uses the same internals with a cooling fan?). The 2 boards internally seems to be interconnected over PCIE slots electrically.The m.2 ports are 2x PCIE 3 lanes, hence why the theoretical max of 1500mbps transfer when installing a m.2 drive. This is still an interesting feature to have for a Thunderbolt 3 dock, typically you would expect to dump storage through a Thunderbolt 3 passthrough port, but this dock has internal storage solutions. This actually makes it pretty good for a desktop computer that has Thunderbolt 3 support, whether it's an OEM computer, a laptop that basically is permanently used as a desktop, or a custom-built PC that has hardware for Thunderbolt 3There is a bit of coil whine, it's not as egregious as the Dell WD19TB, but it can be audible when you're an arm's length away. The coil whine seems to be relatively inconsistent though.The "gimmick" (although technically it's not really a gimmick, more of the selling point) is 2x m.2 slots that can operate at 2 lanes of PCIE 3 speeds, so this is a bit of a special dock. At the time of this review it's $269 w/ a 7% discount coupon. This isn't as expensive as say, the OWC Thunderbolt Go dock, but that dock's gimmick is an internal power supply. There's certainly cheaper options, but I don't think there's a lot of Thunderbolt 3 docks that have internal storage available, let alone 2. I can see this being great for a desktop with Thunderbolt 3/Thunderbolt 4/USB4, because at some point if you need extra storage, it's safer to just invest in a NAS. Overall, apart from the coil whine, this is a pretty good Thunderbolt 3 dock with some interesting features. However if you don't need internal storage in a Thunderbolt dock, there are definitely cheaper options out there.

This is the thunderbolt dock I was looking for my MacBook Pro 16 M1Max.This has 2 internal NVMe slots that meets my storage needs without having multiple external hard drives.The dock works really well with my 4K monitor with display port connection. There’s also another thunderbolt port to daisy chain other thunderbolt devices.If there was one missing option that would either be a second display port or a HDMI port to use two monitors without using the second thunderbolt port.But in in many ways this is exactly what I was looking for and am tempted to get a second one. I am hoping that this will go on sale soon.Highly recommended!

Great double NVMe & port replicator on TB3. Everything is OK. I have only one small complaint: NVMe heatsink is a little bit misplaced (not covering last cca 3-5 mm of chips).

The media could not be loaded.I was contemplating between this and another product that is cheaper but decided to go for this.I’m quite impressed with the quality of the product. Sturdy and love the matte finish. Added another pcie ssd card to speed it up and it was awesome!Worth the price and highly recommended.
