Does anyone with the TS3 Plus have startup problems on their Mac while the dock is connected?
I'm on a 13" 2016 MacBook Pro (4 Thunderbolt Ports) that's encrypted with FileVault and noticed that if I shutdown while the dock is connected, I'm unable to start it back up by pressing the power button on the laptop. If I disconnect the thunderbolt cable, press the power button, then reconnect the dock before unlocking the drive at the FileVault preboot screen, the built-in keyboard and trackpad on the laptop are unresponsive. Disconnecting the thunderbolt cable doesn't fix it, I have to hold down the power button on the laptop to shut it, start it back up without the dock connected, authenticate, then plug the dock back in in anytime after I authenticate at the FileVault prereboot screen.
Edit: I should also note that I'm aware the peripherals connected to the dock itself won't function until after the FileVault preboot screen, but it's a bit bizarre that the internal keyboard and trackpad on the laptop become responsive.
One more edit: It seems this happens when either or both of my external drives are connected to the dock. I'll put a ticket in with CalDigit and see what they have to say.
Final edit: It seems I just wasn't being patient enough. With my external drives connected, it seems to take up to 20 seconds before the laptop gets to the preboot screen, then everything works as expected. I'm just impatient!
