Gutes Produkt, kann günstiger sein

This is one of the few USB C 3.2 gen 2 docks at the time of buying it that had all the features I wanted and wasn't thunderbolt only. It works very well and the quality feels good, all the cables are very thick and high quality and I doubt any of them will ever fail. The power supply is incredibly heavy for its size, makes the dock itself feel very light. Also at this price I was expecting the whole dock housing to be made of aluminum but turns out it's all just plastic. It's really no big deal, doesn't affect the functionality, but kinda surprised. The rubber feet on it however are really good at keeping it in place. For compatibility, I got this for my new laptop that has an AMD 5800H and it works flawlessly, because the usb c ports support DP 1.4 alt-mode. I tried it with my old laptop through a USB A to USB C adapter and it worked for everything except the display outputs. This means the dock adheres very well to the USB standards and no weirdness should be expected. There's a power button on the side of the dock that completely turns it on or off and that's kinda handy to not have to disconnect devices manually when trying to troubleshoot things. For the bad things, there's a light at the front of the dock that is incredibly bright. It's by far the brightest single LED on my desk and it's basically facing me directly so it's really distracting. I did try to put some kapton tape over it to dim it, which works, but it also makes it look very bad. The light stays on at all time even if the host computer is turned off or disconnected, so you have to turn off the dock manually with the button. This is annoying for me because my desk is in my bedroom, so it's another button to press every night when turning off the computer and monitors. The SD card slot has USB 3.x speeds, which is great. However the slot itself is a cheap one with no spring action. So you insert the card, there's no tactile or audible feedback that it's properly inserted, and to take it out you have to just pull it out while feeling it rub on the rough plastic housing. It's not a good feeling and I was really surprised to see this on such an expensive device. Edit: another weird thing I found is that the included USB C cable is not reversible. It only works in one orientation. This is not a big deal as usually I don't need to reconnect it many times but it's weird considering the whole point of USB C is to be reversible.

This is an awesome product. Exactly what I needed. I had purchased cheaper modules in the past and none of them work as smoothly and efficiently as this one. I will be going to Startech for all of my needs in the future. Tech support helped me find the right product for me. So don't be afraid to call them, for they are very helpful.

The docking station didn't actually work straight away as the cable supplied was damaged but these things happen. That said the Tech support was excellent, you got to speak to a technician and he was very knowledgeable, we got to the root of the problem and a replacement cable arrived two days later. The actual docking station is excellent and works well with my MSI laptop through USB-A (5G port), the technician did make reference to it not being able to charge the laptop through USB-A which is refreshing to see this honesty. It isn't the fault of the docking station that my laptop doesn't have the capability through the USB-C port. Overall this is an excellent product, I wish it had the ability to stand vertically but perhaps for a future issue. Fundamentally it worked as soon as I plugged it in (with a cable that worked) and in over a month of daily use has worked perfectly
