WAVLINK USB 3.0 & USB C Ultra HD/5K Universal Docking Station This is nice but creates issues – without external power, it can’t support additional ports, and you won’t be able to daisy-chain additional devices through it. The dock does not need any kind of external power source, so all you have to do is plug the USB-C cable into your Mac. Ports: While this dock makes it easy to connect more than one display, it contains only four ports in total: two Display Port ports with support for dual 4K 60Hz displays or a single 5K 60Hz display, a USB3.0 port and a gigabit Ethernet port. If your biggest concern is connecting more than one monitor to your MBP, this is one of the most affordable ways to do so. It has no moving parts, and its size makes it easy to take with you, should you have a need to connect to displays outside of your home or office. It’s small and compact and easily fits on your desk. With its cable attached, it really looks like an oversized dongle, but it’s also the most affordable dock in this roundup. It supports dual Display Port connections and also provides some additional legacy ports.
If what you’re looking for is multiple display support out of a Thunderbolt 3 dock, Mini Thunderbolt 3 Dock is the dock for you. While the connectivity here isn’t great, it does get the job done and supports both 4K and 5K displays. On the rear of the dock, it has a gigabit Ethernet port, USB-A 3.1 port, audio in/out ports, support for Kensington lock, one TB3 port, one TB3-in port, a Display Port and DC in. Ports: the device has a single 15w power providing USB-A and USB-C/TB3 ports on the front of the device. It also supports 85W charging, so it will power your device while it’s plugged in.
It connects to your TB3-enabled Mac via a TB3 cable on the rear of the dock. Like the OWC dock, the Kensington SD5200T is wrapped in both plastic and brushed metal. The Kensington SD5200T Thunderbolt 3 Docking Station retails for under $250, and at this price, is one of the more expensive docks in this roundup.

As an added plus to the whole package, the dock can be mounted to the back of any VESA-compatible external display (via a mounting plate, sold separately), allowing for a cleaner, less-cluttered desk. The Kensington SD5300T TB3 Docking Station is another cross-platform dock, supporting both macOS and Windows, that provides support for a single 5K monitor or dual 4K displays at 60Hz.

However, if you don’t need Firewire support, you can pick up the Mac/ Windows version for $289. USB-A ports don’t offer Thunderbolt compatibility. You can connect multiple displays to this device via the miniDisplay Port and a TB3 port however, unless that display is ALSO a TB display, you’re going to have issues daisy-chaining any additional devices to it, so be aware. Ports: There are 13 different legacy ports, including five USB-A 3.1 ports, one FireWire 800 port, gigabit Ethernet, two TB3 ports, one miniDisplay Port, one SD card reader and one audio out port. Coming in two versions – one with Firewire 800 support and one without – the dock works with both Mac and Windows machines. Let it be known that this is a solid, well-built, and easy to use dock. Best of all, Corsair has its own security slot to help prevent theft when you are out and about and using the Corsair. On top of that, there is plenty of power to connect up to two 4K displays running at 60Hz each, which is in line with most of the dock options on this list. One of the standout aspects is the 85W of power which works with smart charging technology as a passthrough to your MBP. With the Corsair TBT100 Thunderbolt 3 Dock ($249.99), you need just one cable to add a whole host of ports to your MacBook. Add in a 4K HDMI port, 4K Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3, and Ethernet, and you have a pretty robust selection of ports to work with on the HyperDrive Pro.Īlso read: External Display Not Working?
