Thing an outdated piece? Looks outdated!

 

[Darren.h]

IF you have a need for a bunch of usb 3.0 ports not even 3.1 go for it. only 1 usb C port.

I love my usb C ports.

 

[Fuzzball84]

The consensus previously was that the dock isn't so great.

 

[jrlcopy]

Yeahhhh, nothing but bad experiences with OWC. Skipping.

 

[spillled typos]

Everything I've bought from OWC has been crap and overpriced.

 

[JPack]

Clearly not many takers. Old selection of ports. First gen Thunderbolt 3 controller incompatible with non TB systems.

 

[ChrisA]

if you have an older Mac, some of this stuff might be useful. Everyone does not have a new Apple Silicone Mac. It looks like OWC is trying to unload to older inventory while they still can.

This is the second ad they have put on Mac Rumors, they seem desperate to sell off this stuff.

 

[kerr]

Surely a market for Apple to make their own docks

 

[Macalway]

Close out.

 

[bigpoppamac31]

This is $153 in Canada. But seeing the previous comments it seems like it would not be worth it.

 

[Realityck]

You'll want TB4 with USB4 support preferably. As said they are trying to clear out these older TB3 docks.

 

[Geoffb9]

I bought a 10GB network adapter from OWC. It keeps disconnecting on my MacBook and Mac mini. I’d be hesitant to trust them again.

Mini Displayport? Really? And no HDMI port? When was this thing made, 2010?

Why would I need this for my 2023 M2 Mac Mini?

So what is an affordable hub with the latest connections? Hopefully under $100 Canadian.

Docks like these are targeted more at laptop users that only have Thunderbolt ports where a USB-C based solution wouldn’t have the bandwidth to cover display, external storage, ethernet and more over a single connection. For desktop users like the Mini a basic USB hub is all you’d need because you already have HDMI and Ethernet.

I've had a few docks from OWC and they have all been absolute junk. If you literally breath on these things the cables wobble and boom disconnect. That company is dead to me.

If you're looking for a killer dock and money isn't an issue, I would highly recommend The iVanky Max 1. An unbelievable amount of ports and they all work perfectly. I've never loved a dock as much as I do this one. Been using it for several months now without any issues whatsoever.

Interesting commentary. I have used OWC for decades and have never seen any "absolute junk." Lots of things I would not buy, including this old dock being hyped by MR; but no absolute junk.

I noticed the spec sheet on that device says the M3 MBP only supports a single external display. Didn't Apple change that with an OS update to allow dual external display?

It's likely the spec sheet is old. It's very likely the dock would support two displays for the M3 MBP with the lid closed.
