Hp Elite Dock With Thunderbolt 3 Cable

This dock delivers. One USB-C Thunderbolt cable to the HP laptop is all that is needed to drive 2 27 inch monitors, wireless mouse & keyboard, webcam, and a USB thumb drive. The cable also maintains a charge on the laptop and all that is needed is a single touch to the power button on the dock to wake the system.

Using with dock with a late 2020 MacBookPro 13 M1 w 16gig.  I love having just one cable to attach to an external dock for all attachments including power!   Using the dock with an external 4k display, 3 or 4 hard drives, and a secondary older USB 2.0 dock (a/c powered) that I attach to this dock -- for a variety of low powered external devices such as camera or microphone. IMPORTANT: The dock great with the enclosed half meter cable but when I tried a longer cable, it failed to drive everything adequately, even though I checked the spec carefully and also it was a reliable brand (I think it was Anker).   I read a LOT about Thunderbolt 3 cables that afternoon and what I found is that everything DOES change once you exceed half a meter.   You may notice that a one meter Thunderbolt cable can oddly more than a half a meter cable. Why? There is some kind of extra internal circuit needed once you exceed the half meter point. Still, even with a proper one meter Thunderbolt 3 cable I could not get the full capabilities to work as I described above. I did not try other brands of cables, just decided to leave well enough alone.

I have been using this for work and I liked it so much I ordered one for my new HP Elite at home.

3' is a short cable Although this does work well.

Got this to connect my XPS 13 from 2016/2017 to my 27" thunderbolt Apple monitor. It worked straight out of the box. However I have a Dell TB16 dock as well. Tried using that as well. So the dock's usb-c connector goes into the XPS, and the Startech adapter goes from the dock to the Thunderbolt monitor. That didn't work: I needed to update the BIOS, Thunderbolt firmware, thunderbolt driver, and installed I believe the latest thunderbolt application from the Intel website. Everything works now, even the audio and usb ports on the monitor. (facetime camera doesn't work, since it can't find a driver). All in all good buy, but I can't connect my 2019 macbook Pro to my thunderbolt monitor with the startech adapter. Monitor does not activate. Seems to only work with Windows machines.

I'm suing the Thunderbolt Dock as additional storage space to my existing Thunderbolt Lacie drives, I already had spare hard drives to use in the dock, all daisychained together ensures high speed transfer rates. The RocketStor Thunderbolt Dock was very easy to install & use on my Mac, solid construction that will last. Regarding design faults with this dock, they should have installed a double Thunderbolt port on the unit, for daisychaining devices, & the dock should be supplied with a Thunderbolt cable as standard.

Have had it for 2 weeks and glad I purchased this dock. Using the Sonnet Echo 11 Thunderbolt 4 Dock to expand my connectivity with a Macbook Pro. Have not used the ports for any displays, only external hard drives and speakers. Really plug and play.

This is a quality thunderbolt cable; not much else to say.

I purchased this along with the new OWC dual elite thunderbolt enclosure and the RocketStor won out- Easily! And it was the cheaper option which made it even better. The unit is dead quiet, super easy to use and incredibly simple to swap in and out drives! I read another review that said the unit got super hot to the touch, but after using it for a solid month I haven't had it get remotely hot. Abosultely love this product and wish I would have purchased it months ago!
