How is this possible??
This dock has saved my computer's life. I used to use all four of MBP's thunderbolt 3 ports including the headphone jack. Now I just come in to work and this dock magically does everything through one cable flawlessly. It charges my computer, phone, reads my SD cards, runs my second monitor (4k), speakers, ethernet, printer, and time machine backup. It could do more, but I ran out of peripherals. This dock is seriously amazing. Everyone who comes into my office can't believe how much goes through the single cable to my laptop. Highly recommend!

Great Functionality on this Thunderbolt Dock
I have been in the AV/IT Integration space for over 30 years.
This Thunderbolt 3 dock provides connectivity to two 4K Ultra HD monitors. I like the ability that this dock provides 85W of Power Delivery to charge the laptop, while also powering peripherals with its 180W power adapter. What is unique about this dock is that the dock provides direct access to SD memory cards with the onboard SD card slot, which can also be used for additional storage and backup.
What is Included:
1 - Docking Station
1 - Thunderbolt Cable
1 - Instruction Manual
1 - USB-C to Display Port Cable
2 - Power Cords
1 - Universal Power Adapter

Meets all expectations
Everything you could possibly ask for in a docking station - 1) lots of ports; 2) no drivers required; 3) no problems.
Plugged this into my HP Spetre set-up and immediately had power distribution and DP support; I approved the ThunderBolt device and all connected USB devices / external hard drives were recognized.

One Cable Maniac
I bought this to eliminate clutter and docking time on my macbook pro. it has 4 thunderbolt ports, but plugging them all in was a pain. I was able to use this to allow GigE connection, but more importantly, dual monitors. worked with the thunderbolt 3->2 adapter to allow me to use my dell U2713hm along with a Thunderbolt display from apple. I recently upgraded both monitors to Dell U2715H and was able to use the displayport and the USB-C/thunderbolt to run both monitors.

A pretty solid dock
Bought for use with my MacBook Pro (15", 2019). Works fine straight out of the box. Only issue I have is the power delivery - it's not passing through enough power to keep my MBP fully charged, so I still have to connect my Mac to additional power.

Linux drivers
I recently got this after using another StarTech docking device, can't remember the model number. The only issue I am having with this one is that I am not able to use it on Ubuntu 18.04. Would be great if there was drivers available to make this work.

Great features but horrible noise
Summary: Great features, solid build quality but very loud coil whine.
Cons:
-If you have headphones or are in calls, or listening to music then it is fine, but if you are just trying to read emails/articles or prepare a presentation, it is very difficult to concentrate.
-The noise only happens when the Thunderbolt Cable is connected to a computer. As soon as you disconnect the laptop, it becomes silent.
Pros: Solid build quality, great port selection, included USB C to DP cable, good weight so it doesn't move around like other docking stations. Matches a space gray Macbook pretty well.
Overall I cannot recommend this docking station unless you are always using headphones. I would recommend a USB C displaylink docking station like the Dell DS6000 series. It has all the same features, and is dead silent - only downside is that i supplies less bandwidth, but that tradeoff for a silent docking station is worth it.

What's with the squealing sound?
I love the functionality of this dock but I'm so disappointed that it makes a squealing sound (static?) constantly. I can't work with it as it drives me nuts. I've see other reviews with the same issue, how can i fix this?

Great dock, loud coil whine
After going through several docks, this is the only one I've found that works reliably with two 4K60 monitors on a 2019 Macbook Pro - the others almost always have one port that fails to give a picture when the laptop or monitor is coming out of sleep mode or powering on, or has weird USB issues. This one is rock solid.
The only downside is there is a TON of coil noise, warbling all over the place presumably as the power load varies. Even placing it behind my desk, I could hear it above the noise of the desktop PC (containing four 7200 RPM hard drives and several fans) sitting next to my desk. Going from the other reviews, it looks like this is typical for this dock. So I'd guess you really need some place you can put this that's reasonably acoustically isolated from your usual seating position (in a different room, in some sort of enclosure), or be wearing headphones all the time.
