Connected Device Transparency with the StarTech.com MAC Address Changer Utility| The TB3DK2DPPD, includes a free Windows® application that enables you to better manage your enterprise network security. When you connect to your network through the ethernet port of the dock, the computer's MAC address is typically not broadcast to the network, as your network only sees the MAC address of the docking station. However, the StarTech.com MAC Address Changer or Cloning software enables the USB-C dock to use MAC address spoofing of the connected Windows laptop rather than the MAC address of the dock itself. This ensures your network administrators have full visibility of each device on the network and can monitor and limit activity accordingly. To request access to our MAC Address Changer utility, please contact our Technical Support Department by phone, live chat , or e-mail . TB3DK2DPPD features a rugged aluminum casing and is backed by a StarTech.com 3-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Dell Latitude 5400 connection
Connected to thunderbolt port my company issued Dell Laptop (Latitude 5400) without issue. I am running 2 1080P 27" monitors. Simple to set up. All ports work.

Squealing noise
The dock makes a constant squealing noise. Its's extremely irritating, looking at other reviews it seems to be an issue with the power supply. Also the included thunderbolt 3 cable is only a foot long.

Works great, but…
I'm a huge fan of this dock, and have purchased two for my WFH set up. I use an Apple MBP with the USB-C ports, driving a 32-inch ViewSonic monitor. Brilliant all around. The problem is that the dock seems to fail when it gets hot -- around 2pm each day. I thought it was related to my laptop, but I have swapped out different laptops and have the same issue. Perhaps something faulty with these? I looked for firmware updates, but there was nothing listed for Macs. When it works, it is magic and wonderful, but having to unplug it from the external monitor (and keyboard, etc.) several times each day reduces its utility by a lot.

Good in theory, torture in practice
This dock is more or less working as a thunderbolt dock - my MacBook is connected to external monitor (5k @ 60Hz), USB stuff and charging. However - it creates a squealing noise (most likely from the power supply) that is absolute torture that singlehandedly makes $5000 of laptop, monitor, and accessories awful to be around. In this state, this dock literally has negative value.

When it's working, it's great
I have had this dock for about 5 months. I have a 13" Mac Pro connected to 2 additional monitors. Most of the time, I am able to plug my laptop in and everything works as expected. About once a week, I have to reset the display orientations because they get mixed up - it would be nice if the settings remained the same each time I plug it back in. I wouldn't have taken the time to review that bug if that was my only issue. About once a month, I come it, plug my laptop in, and only 1 of the monitors will work. It's never the same monitor that works, each time I connect and disconnect, it's a gamble on which one will connect. I have tried EVERYTHING, from resetting settings, changing wires, using every sort of monitor connection, and nothing has ever resolved it. Randomly. the second monitor will just start working again. Very frustrating, spending hours trying to get a monitor to work instead of getting my actual work done.

A sleek, beautiful and powerful HP Dock.
I use this HP Thunderbolt 3 Dock with Dual Monitor 4K DisplayPort for my EliteBook 850 G7. This is a sleek, beautiful and powerful dock. Its support for USB Type-C and its performance was consistent and smooth, even at 4K.

When it works, its fine. But rarely works.
I've used this docking station for almost two years now. When it does work, its fine. But I get a plethora of graphical issues if I ever disconnect and reconnect my laptop (even though its the main function of the device). It has issues constantly not recognizing monitors, giving me black screens. pixel jarring, I've had to work entire days with a single monitor because nothing I tried got it to recognize the second one (restarting, switching out cables, updating drivers, using a different workstation, NOTHING works). The PC constantly gives me popups that the "USB device not recognized" even thought it was recognized 10 minutes before. Honestly, I'd avoid this docking station if I were you.

Convenient and Easy to Use but Some Issues
I have had this for about six months. This makes it very easy to support my macBook Pro. I now have a single USB-C connection for my macBook that does it all; charges MacBook, drives 2 displays, provides wired network, connects WebCam, supports lightening cable for charging touchpad/keyboard/iPhone/iPadI via USB-A connection. This makes it really easy to unplug laptop and take it traveling and when I return literally takes seconds to plug into port and be back up and running with wired network and 2 external monitors. Need to be careful with which ports are used, not all ports support charging or pass through displays. I have had problems with the network adapter. At times it becomes unstable. I tested it by firing continuous requests to another Mac on the same wired network and saw repeated brownouts lasting for seconds at a time. Those problems do not occur when using wired ethernet adapter directly with MacBook. Turning it off and turning it on again (the hub not the MacBook) seems to help.

Displayport Does Not Stay Active
I was provided this dock by my company to handle the external monitors they provided. I am unable to use this with a DisplayPort cable from my monitor, the image becomes unstable. I am able to utilize an HDMI cable with an adapter but each day I have to unplug and replug the adapter. I have tried multiple different active adapters and they all have the same issue.
So the dock works, but there are better docks out there for the same price point that function flawlessly.

the 2 usb ports seem to stop working. Very annoyin
I bought this to help with all the cables from my laptop - it's made it worse. USB ports keep dropping off and keyboard/headphones charger with them. It's just a bigger, more cumbersome laptop charger for $200. I've been searching 10 minutes for customer support and none seems to be found. Awful experience.
