USB 3.2 allows for two-lane SuperSpeed+, doubling the maximum possible speed yet again to 20Gb/s.Īpple's M1 Macs are equipped with Thunderbolt 4, which supports speeds up to 40Gb/s using Thunderbolt 4-equipped storage and supports USB 4, which is also up to 40Gb/s. USB 3.1 Gen 2 includes SuperSpeed+, which doubles the possible speeds to 10Gb/s. As outlined by Oakley, USB 3.0 supports SuperSpeed USB at 5Gb/s. When using USB 3.1 Gen 2 devices with M1 Mac Thunderbolt ports, performance doesn't meet the expected connection speeds of up to 10Gb/s, meaning real-world read/write speeds will also fall short of expectations.īefore diving into Oakley's test results, it's important to understand the USB 3.x standards.

In short, this Thunderbolt 3 Dock Plus is very high quality, and does everything promised without a single problem.Howard Oakley of The Eclectic Light Company has been doing some testing of the Thunderbolt ports on M1 Macs, and it seems that real-world performance doesn't match Apple's claims. The addition of a couple of available USB-C ports is a great feature that I'm sure I will use more in the future. That ability allowed me to distance the hub further from my MacBook, and kept more clear workspace on my desk. The USB-C cable that connects to the computer is removable, and can be replaced with a longer cable if desired. The hub's network port has no problems saturating the gigabit network link. Having two Display Ports (rather than one Display Port and one HDMI) made for a cleaner setup, and ran my pair of 1440p monitors flawlessly, with no issues at all. The unit also runs much cooler than other hubs I've used. It makes reconnection to my home office quick and easy by eliminating more devices that have to be pulled out and reconnected every time I travel. The included power-supply is more than sufficient to charge my MacBook Pro without having to pull its factory power supply out of my travel kit. Great Step Up From Slower Hubs or Fewer Features I had previously used the Thunderbolt 3 Dock Core, and found this Dock Plus to be even better. I have not been able to figure out what those screw holes can be used for and the spartan included documentation does not mention them. Finally, this dock has two gold screw holes on the bottom of the unit. If I were to buy another one, I would opt for the Pro version, mostly because for only $50 more it has an SD card reader that I would definitely use, plus it has an extra Thunderbolt port built-in.

This dock is fairly large and the heavy power supply do not make it the most portable device, if you plan on moving it between homes like I do. One thing I do miss is having an SD card reader built in.
I used to have to run a separate cable for ethernet and that would take up one of my Thunderbolt ports on my MacBook Pro, so having it built-in is great. It’s also nice that this dock has a Gigabit ethernet port.

I know I’m probably in the minority, but I wish this dock had an HDMI output as well, for those times where I wanted to throw a movie up on an HDMI television screen. This works very well as it makes it so much easier to disconnect and reconnect my laptop using only one Thunderbolt cable if I want to temporarily remove my laptop from my desk-based setup.
I have Ultrawide monitors in both places and I use the dock to connect my MacBook Pro to both monitors using the DisplayPort ports. Excellent dock, but consider the Pro version too I have been using this dock while traveling between my regular home and my vacation home.
