OWC Thunderbolt Hub Docking Station, Grey/Black, Thunderbolt 4, USB-A

This is a fantastic value. I was able to eliminate two flimsy hubs and daisy chain several SSDs, an external hard drive, connect a remote portable monitor without a hiccup. The best part, from my perspective, is that I am able to plug my Lunda Display dongle directly into the hub instead of the back of the iMac 27 inch (2020) and it works seamlessly. With every other hub or dock I've tried the Luna dongle will absolutely not work unless it is plugged into the computer directly. This is a game changer and allows for easy port expansion. There is no excessive heat from the hub. It works straight out of the box and the ability to daisy chain different sections makes disk storage super easy. I love it.

The OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub is a game-changer for my workstation. The three Thunderbolt 5 ports are blazing fast, and the USB-A port adds extra versatility for older devices. I’m able to connect multiple high-speed drives and monitors with no lag or connectivity issues. The hub feels solid and well-built, and it keeps my setup clean and organized. Absolutely worth it if you need reliable, high-speed expansion for your Thunderbolt devices!

OWC is my go-to for Mac accessories, as I find the quality to be well above that of other brands. This is a great, small Thunderbolt 4 hub at less half the price of most competitors. There are only three TB ports and a single USB A port, but it's perfect if you don't need more than that. I have two of their larger TB 3 hubs for my Mac Studio, but use thhis one to connect my MacBook Air M4 to a Dell Ultrasharp 34" monitor when I want to dock it to an external monitor, which still leaves me two TB ports and the USB-A port, enough for what I use my laptop for.

Works well, but some imporvements to port locations and power supply would be good. For some reason the power supply port is on the front instead of the back, so it makes it a bit awkward to use on the desktop. If it was on the back, it would be perfect. It really makes no sense. Speedy transfers though and plenty of ports.

Bought this barely over a year ago. Had trouble with shortly after setting it up. Returned it to OWC and they said,”nothing wrong with it “. Ten days after warranty expired the unit quit completely.

Fantastic speeds for transfer while maintaining rapid charging.

Works as expected. Very fast with Thunderbolt5 and adds ports that I can use but don't use often. Worth the money.

The recent price drop finally allowed me to justify this purchase. Now I can connect my external monitor, ssd's and time machine drive while charging my 5 year old M1 MBA which has only 2 usb C / TB 3 ports. The OWC is solid, with a chunky (and reassuring) power supply. With 4 USB-C/TB 3 ports, I can transfer my older projects from external ssd to an archive HDD

Quizá tuve mala suerte y me toco uno defectuoso. El Hub tenia bajas de voltaje. Desconectaba los periféricos. Probémo con SSD externos, HD externos, monitores y otro tipo de periféricos Thunderbolt como USB-C. después de una o dos horas funcionando, tenia bajadas de voltaje y me desconectaba alguno de los puertos. Lamentablemente una mala experiencia.

Importante sapere che è compatibile con tutti gli hard disk con sistema Thunderbolt 3, ma serve utilizzare sempre e solo cavi thunderbolt 4, in caso non riconosce gli HD. In lungimiranza con la tecnologia che avanzerà verso il 4, è ottimo investimento. Lo utilizzo come Hub per collegare un Apple MacBook Pro M1 13" con scheda audio Apogee Symphony Desktop e con un Hard Disk, per esempio, ed è perfetto, non sgancia mai....meglio spendere qualcosa in più, ma state tranquilli per l'intera giornata. Ha il suo alimentatore "ingombrante", ma appunto, se funzionale....meglio così.

So far so good! Really fast, doesn’t overheat. I’m a video editor and I regularly transfer large amounts of high res files WHILE editing 4K content with playback and so far no issues. All while it keeps my MacBook Pro charged!

Excellent für MacBook, ich nutze ihn um 2 Monitore (4K) native in MacOs zu betreiben mit einem MacBook Air M4 und es funktioniert tadellos!

It was an amazing addition to my work-from-home setup, especially due to the addition of a MacBook Pro M4 Pro. I strongly recommend it. It works flawlessly.
