Usb C Thunderbolt

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.

[0.505 lb] Well built with a fast transfer on a Thunderbolt/USB 4 port.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Pluggable Thunderbolt 4 is the perfect addition to my MacBook Pro M1 Max. Previously I always had to plug tons of cables in and out of the MacBook ports... Monitor 1, Monitor 2, Power, Speakers, and more. I would avoid taking my MacBook around the house just cause I didn’t want to deal with all this. Enter the Pluggable Docking Station. So many ports! One one side...1 HDMI, two charging USB-C/Thunderbolt, three USB-A 10 Gpps (rectangle), 1 Ethernet. And on the other side…SD card, 1 USB-A 10 Gpps w/ charging, 1 audio, 1 96W Thunderbolt / USB-C, and a power button. So more than enough! Just plug your devices into the respective ports, and connect the dock to your laptop with the 96W Thunderbolt / USB-C port (wire provided with dock). While these type of docks can be pricey, if you live on your laptop everyday like me, it’s well worth it!

This dock has everything I need: USB-A, USB-C, and Thunderbolt ports (with Power Delivery), a 10 Gbps Ethernet port for network-attached storage, an SD card reader, and (... wait for it ...) a CFExpress Type B reader! There may be other docks out there with a CFExpress Type B reader, but this is the only one I've seen so far. Since my cameras all use either SD or CFExpress Type B cards, this clinched it for me. It doesn't come cheap, though, but for me it was worth it.

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

[4.7 oz / 132 g] It works good with MS C++ 2015 under windows 10, with Video For Windows (vfw32.lib)

[16 oz (435 g)] I needed a powered Thunderbolt hub for my M1 Mac Mini. This one fit the space I had and seemed perfect. I have three 2TB SSDs in my recording setup. They're not Thunderbolt, but USB-3, Gen 2. They ran fine through an unpowered USB-C hub, but this hub seems at least twice as fast. Instruments that took up to a minute load in Kontakt now load in a few seconds. No stutters or other issues so far. Hopefully it will last a long time. The overall size is perfect, but the design should have been thought through a little better. I wish the power supply port and main port were on one of the ends though. Having everything on one side would have been even better. It's intrusive in it's current location and cables stick out from both sides making it a little cumbersome to setup. Those are minor issues though since it has greatly improved my workflow.

[1 RU] I bought this for it's thunderbolt connectivity as opposed to the model with usb-C connectivity I had planned on purchasing. It's working phenomenally with no latency issues and I'm loving the recording software, Luna, that is included with the purchase.
