Yottamaster Thunderbolt 3 Dock

Most things I purchase must be plug and play because I am limited in my tech knowledge, I know enough to get by but not much more. I found this dock simple to set up and get working. The dual monitors are a real nice feature and will make my life easier. I am happy and I would buy again. 5 STARS

I am so impressed with this dock. First of all, it is as plug-and-play as it can get. There is no better setup for a dock than when all you need to do is plug it into your computer using the USB that it comes with and it is all ready for use. I use this primarily as a charger and as a way to transfer photo and video files from my camera to my computer and it works great for both. Being in the film industry, I need something that will reliably take a high level of data from my photos and videos and transfer them safely and quickly and this seems to do the trick! I am so impressed with how quickly this works– less so when multiple devices are charging from it at once, but it uses its total power to make transfers quick and easy. Additionally, I love the look of this device. It has that strong industrial feel because it is made completely out of metal. It is heavy, too, which lets me know that it is made of durable metal materials. This is great because it looks fancier and it won’t break as easily as a plastic shell would.Unfortunately, I think the advertisement leads you astray a bit. The first picture makes you think that this will be a larger-sized dock than it actually is. However, it is desk-sized and it is much smaller than I thought. Yes, it still packs a punch power-wise and it is great for that reason, however, it also gets quite hot when you are using it for long periods of time. I think it would be better suited in a larger model so it can retain less heat. This makes me worried about the longevity of its life.If you are okay with the model being a bit smaller than anticipated, this works great for transfers and high-speed operations. I recommend it!

This product looks like it is a rebrand of another product. Both of the makers state that the supplied cable is the best. I purchased https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CY8YBC9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and was able to get 4 foot cable to connect and work with all items. I just connected today and it is working i will report back if any additional issues come up with or without the cable.The only Con to this is if they had created the shell more compact it would have been nicer. I think the 'loops' are good for some people, possibly come in handy for cable management or even mounting in some way. It still has a professional feel to it.

After experiencing some issues with displaying to 32 inch screen, I realized that I needed to download the DisplayLink driver. Once I did that, no more issues.This is a very fast docking station with plenty of USB 3.1 types A and C. It says it will support USB4, but what they mean is that it will work connected to those future ports and limited to 40Gbps for Thunderbolt and 10Gbps for USB 3.1. Still, it is a powerhouse now and in the future.Very happy with its performance. The only thing missing is an HDMI port, but it does come with a DisplayPort and if your monitor supports, it can use a Thunderbolt instead of HDMI. The other option is to use a USB-C to HDMI adaptor.Since it met all my needs and has a superb performance, which gave all my external peripherals a big boost, I couldn’t be happier.

I really liked this docking station, I'm a photographer and I have a very high use of computer and peripherals like flash drive and memory cards. The speed and data processing of this docking is very surprising! I recommend it to anyone who needs high performance in their work and save time!
