Will Usb C Cable Fit Into Thunderbolt Port

Well built with a fast transfer on a Thunderbolt/USB 4 port.

I am able to fit my Mac charger + cable, phone charger + cable, multi-port dongle, 1500mAh battery, external SSD + cable, a few different spare USB cables, a couple USB thumb drives, USB adapters, SD cards, air pods, earpods (3.5mm), earpods (lightening), 2 pens + sharpie, and screen cleaning cloth in my tech pouch. Its sturdy with high quality zippers.

Works great on the USB-C/Thunderbolt port on the Mac Mini M1 to get a second display.

The cable is compatible to my Belkin 7-Port USB Hub.

So far, I think this is the only Thunderbolt 3 external SSD that is able to work both on Thunderbolt 3 port and USB-C port. The speed under Thunderbolt 3 connection is just as good as other similar products in the market. About 2000 MB/s write and 2600 MB/s read in my Macbook Pro. What beyond my expectation is that the speed under a regular USB-C connection is also amazingly fast. About 1600 MB/s write and read. I am not sure how this is achieved but I believe the current UBS-C external SSDs can only do 1000 MB/s write and read. Besides the performance, this thing is compact and built like a tank. Overall, I am really satisfied with this product.

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 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.

I use this dock station to connect to Apple Mini-2013 with Thunderbolt 2 port. The Apple Thunderbolt 3 - 2 adapter will be required. I also connect the main Bootable external SSD disk to this Dock station USB-C Gen 2 port. The read/write speed is better than the Mini USB 3.0 port. It is small enough to place on the computer table everywhere. It has a smart sleep mode when the Mini went to sleep mode. I will recommend this dock station for older or newest model type of Apple laptops or desktops for additional Thunderbolt/External display/USB port/Audio connection usage. It fits for Apple computers have (Thunderbolt/Thunderbolt 2 - with Apple Adapter)/Thunderbolt 3 port. I am very happy with this NEW dock station.

The size and port selection are great. While some I'll never use (optical audio, ethernet) I love the option coupled with the fast SDXC slot and mix of USB-A & USB-C ports. I am using the hub with a Thunderbolt 2 adapter to a Mac Pro. Works better than any of the Thunderbolt 2 hubs I've tried.

I have tried many different brands and only the HyperDrive supports power delivery pass-through charging through both USB-C ports. This means I can connect my Thunderbolt 3 SSD through the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port and charge my MacBook Pro with the other USB-C port at the same time. The other brands force you to choose between Thunderbolt 3 connectivity or pass through charging through a single USB-C port. HyperDrive definitely gives me more options.

With a MacBook Air, you have only two Thunderbolt ports. This multiport adapter adds two USB-A ports, a USB-C port, and an 4K HDMI port, effectively giving you four ports with the use of one Thunderbolt already on your MacBook Air. And, it's small enough to easily carry in a pocket.
