No better way to convey this product than to say, It just works, flawlessly!CalDigit is the gold standard for expansion docks and this dock does it all, while minimizing the number of cables you have to interact with on the daily. Just plug all your devices into the dock, power the dock with the included cable, then plug in a single cable from the dock to your laptop. Screen refresh rate is solid with 4k@60Hz (confirm your monitor supports this refresh rate) without delay or lag.Don't mess around with a dock that's less expensive. You get what you pay for.

I bought this recently, and it's working great.I am a work-from-home software developer and have been on a mission to improve my work setup. My main work machine is a 2018, 15-inch MacBook Pro. I recently added a third monitor, which along with the charging cable, occupied all the ports on the Mac.My wife also works from home now, so we upgraded our home network to include ethernet, a higher bandwidth Internet connection, which I could not take full advantage of with all my ports in use. Enter the dock...At present, I am driving two 1920x1200 WUXGA (i.e. not 4k) displays. One is on the DisplayPort and the other on Thunderbolt. This freed up two ports on the Mac, and a little desk space.

I'll update if I have issues.Despite the generally good reviews, I hesitated a little at first to buy this dock because I find it a little ugly in the pictures. Now that it's on my desk I do not find it all that bad. :-)

Only have had this dock for a few days and I am still testing it out and can't attest to long term use. Got this dock because it was on sale in the Deal Zone, which helps a lot cause this dock isn't cheap. I like that it supports 2 monitors and also offers a nice assortment of USB and Thunderbolt ports. I have 2 Apple 27 displays, one a Cinema display with a mini display port and the other is a Thunderbolt display. The reason I only give 4 stars is because I still need to use adapters for each monitor.While searching the site for a display port male to mini DP female, I noted in the Q and A's for one of the adapters that a staff member recommended and adapter with a mini DP male, which is the wrong gender for any Apple display which have permanently attached ... MoreOnly have had this dock for a few days and I am still testing it out and can't attest to long term use.

So when looking for an adapter, make sure the genders are correct. B&H offer a 6 adapter by StarTech that works correctly.Reading the other ratings, I would only recommend this dock for MacBooks with Thunderbolt 3 ports and that Windows/Android laptops with USC-3 ports find another dock.HTH Mark

I needed to find a way to interface a large array of devices to my main laptop without using a lot of ports to deal with the lack of ports on new machines. After quite a bit of research, I found this CalDigit TS3 Plus that taps the Thunderbolt 3 port on my computer. It is not inexpensive. Nevertheless, I must say it has performed very well for me. I moved a large USB hub that has all my interface devices like keyboard, mouse, webcam, printers, etc. from a USB port on the computer to the CalDigit. I also moved two external USB hard drives, along with my audio output to desktop speakers and a USB high end audio interface. Every device but one printer moved successfully to the new CalDigit by simply plugging in the devices. That printer had to be reinstalled on the new ... MoreI needed to find a way to interface a large array of devices to my main laptop without using a lot of ports to deal with the lack of ports on new machines.

I moved a large USB hub that has all my interface devices like keyboard, mouse, webcam, printers, etc. from a USB port on the computer to the CalDigit. I also moved two external USB hard drives, along with my audio output to desktop speakers and a USB high end audio interface. Every device but one printer moved successfully to the new CalDigit by simply plugging in the devices. That printer had to be reinstalled on the new USB port (through CalDigit). I was worried about the bandwidth, but the CalDigit seems to manage the Thunderbolt interface so that multiple devices can share the Thunderbolt bandwidth at the same time without interfering with each other. It also provides charging capability, but I need my regular power block since my laptop needs more current than the CalDigit provides for charging. However, there has not been any conflict between the power block and the CalDigit link for powering.I conclude that this is a very good dock for modern computers with Thunderbolt 3 ports but few others that connect to a lot of external devices. It has performed flawlessly, and was very easy to set up. While I did not run formal tests, it appears to effectively share the Thunderbird bandwidth. Just want one needs in a dock. Definitely recommended.
Running on a 2020 MBP. Absolutely NO ISSUES running MacOS Catalina. Intermittent USB Drive issues using MacOS Big Sur. Though, I suspect the issue is the OS and not the Caldigit TS3+. My external drives are much more stable on the Caldigit TS3+ I run four (4) USB Time Machine backup Drives plus an additional USB Drive. None of them unmount themselves as they did connected to a powered USB Hub! Unit does run warm/hot - but my research indicates that is normal. This was a very good, stable, addition to my system. And I like that I can unmount all devices with a single click to take my MBP and GO!
I bought this for my HP 15.6 ZBook Studio G8 Mobile Workstation. The laptop has only one USB type A, which I use for a wireless mouse and keyboard. The other I/O ports are two USB Type-C Thunderbolt 4.So far, the CalDigit TS3 has worked reliably for me. The user might have to open their computer settings for audio, however, if the sound isn't coming over desired speakers. The Settings will list a selection of audio devices.In summary, I'm very happy with my CalDigit TS3 Plus dock, and I recommend it to other computer users who need more I/O selections.
I highly recommend this Dock to anyone who's device has Thunderbolt 3 connection.Coming new Apple Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt 3, I had researched dozens of all-in-one hubs w/ PD (price range $15~$35) and various Thunderbolt 3 docks including Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Plus, OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, as well as CalDigit's very own USB-C Pro Dock.Comparing the price difference between a Thunderbolt Dock and an all-in-one USB Hub, it was a no brainer that I went with an 8-in-one USB Hub. To my amaze it did the trick by keeping connection to all of my peripherals (laptop cooler, SD card, external SSD, external monitor) without failing, but with a caveat.CalDigit's TS3 Plus is at a different level compared with my $35 8-in-one USB Hub.First, CalDigit TS3 Plus is a ... MoreI highly recommend this Dock to anyone who's device has Thunderbolt 3 connection.Coming new Apple Macbook Pro and Thunderbolt 3, I had researched dozens of all-in-one hubs w/ PD (price range $15~$35) and various Thunderbolt 3 docks including Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Dock Plus, OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock, as well as CalDigit's very own USB-C Pro Dock.Comparing the price difference between a Thunderbolt Dock and an all-in-one USB Hub, it was a no brainer that I went with an 8-in-one USB Hub. To my amaze it did the trick by keeping connection to all of my peripherals (laptop cooler, SD card, external SSD, external monitor) without failing, but with a caveat.CalDigit's TS3 Plus is at a different level compared with my $35 8-in-one USB Hub.First, CalDigit TS3 Plus is a Thunderbolt 3 Dock, meaning it can connect to your device via the included Thunderbolt 3 cable, which I'm sure you all know how much faster it is compared with USB 3.1 gen 2.Second, heat dissipation. My 8-in-one USB Hub gets *HOT* even after only a ten minutes of accessing my external SSD. And when I say HOT, I mean I can't rest my skin without the feeling I will get a burn. CalDigit TS3 Plus has no issue in this department.Lastly, the quality of construction feels (against everyone who is ready to bite me for my words) better than my MacBook Pro 16 inch.This is why although the price tag is almost ten times the cost of an all-in-one USB Hub, it is definitely worth it because it is just sturdy where it feels like it will last longer than my MacBook Pro.As a researcher I was skeptical when I read other numerous reviews online and on YouTube regarding CalDigit TS3 Plus as one of the best Thunderbolt 3 Docks out in the market, but after owning this for 2 weeks it is the best purchase I have made to my MacBook Pro set up.You cannot go wrong with this Dock. If I had known how great this was I would have gotten it for myself sooner.P.S. And yes, the entire enclosure except for the front panel is made from metal, so magnets will be attracted like in my photos.
I purchased this dock because my new laptop has only 2 included USB ports, which is way too few for the external devices i regularly use. I was hoping to connect all my external devices through the CalDigit. The ratings were very good, and, in general, this seems like a versatile dock. I have not tried external monitors. It seems to work well with external USB disk drives and USB sticks. The analog audio out is also working well for me. However, when I connected an iFi iDSD micro, which is a high end USB audio DAC, I had issues. While my computer recognized the device right away and connected to its driver, for some reason I get continuous static in the audio when I use the type A USB ports. I even exchanged for a new unit, and the new unit had the same issue. I did ... MoreI purchased this dock because my new laptop has only 2 included USB ports, which is way too few for the external devices i regularly use.

While my computer recognized the device right away and connected to its driver, for some reason I get continuous static in the audio when I use the type A USB ports. I even exchanged for a new unit, and the new unit had the same issue. I did get it to work by using an Apple USB C to USB adapter and using the rear USB C port of the CalDigit. I read that this port is handled internally by a different chip. For some reason, that chip handles the iFi fine, but the other USB chip does not. I also tried connecting my powered USB hub into a USB A port on the CalDigit. The hub has many low speed devices such as mouse, keyboard, and printers. Unfortunately, I had weird problems with the keyboard no matter what I tried. I finally had to plug the USB hub into one of the 2 ports on the computer. Again, it seems like the CalDigit USB chip cannot handle an external USB hub.So, all in all, I have been able to work around the limitations to make the TS3 Plus satisfy my needs. However, I was disappointed that the USB A ports, at least, seem to have clear limitations. Anyone considering the CalDigit TS3 Plus should keep that in mind. This is a fairly expensive device that supposedly has higher end circuits inside to make sure it can handle a variety of devices and to insure that the bandwidth of the Thunderbolt port is effectively shared. Nevertheless, one cannot count on the ports acting entirely the same as direct ports on the attached computer.CalDigit was responsive. They said they could not guarantee than it would handle a USB hub, or a high end audio device. They did provide a replacement unit under warranty, but, as I noted, it had the same issues. They had warned me that might be the case. I just wish I had known these limitations before I made the purchase.
I bought this since the TS4 is impossible to find. Aside from only being 1GbE instead of 2.5GbE I don't think I'm missing much. It does power delivery and works great using my M1 MacBook Air and a Samsung Galaxy Book 2 360. I use a Samsung M34WQ external monitor which supports a 144hz refresh rate. Using DisplayLink to the monitor from the dock I get full 3440x1440 at 144hz. The outside of the dock does run a little warm but nothing terrible. I did wish it came with a longer Thunderbolt cable but that's my only gripe.
After reading so many negative reviews that the M1 MacBook Pros has with the CalDigit TS4 dock (check Amazon Reviews too) I decided to not be a guinea pig and just stick with the TS3 Plus for now.I think there are still a lot of issues that need to be fixed on the newer model and it's a lottery pick on if your setup will work with the TS4 or not. The TS3 Plus has been solid working with my external LG UltraFine 31.5 monitor and 2021 MBP M1 Pro laptop. Just save yourself the time and headache and stick with the TS3 Plus until CalDigit can resolve all the issues for the newer model dock.I thought this dock would run hotter but I set it vertically and it gets a little warm. Shipping has been super fast with B&H Photo and I highly recommend buyers to get a B&H ... MoreAfter reading so many negative reviews that the M1 MacBook Pros has with the CalDigit TS4 dock (check Amazon Reviews too) I decided to not be a guinea pig and just stick with the TS3 Plus for now.I think there are still a lot of issues that need to be fixed on the newer model and it's a lottery pick on if your setup will work with the TS4 or not.
