Review on Enhanced CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock with 87W Power Delivery, 7X USB 3.1 Ports, USB-C Gen 2, DisplayPort, UHS-II SD Card Slot, Gigabit Ethernet for Mac & PC, Thunderbolt 4 Compatibility (0.7m/2.3ft Cable) by Kelvin Ward

This dock meets all my needs. After many hours of research, this dock has turned out to be the best on the market for my needs. ADVANTAGES: * UHS II SD memory card slot. As a professional photographer, this was the best choice. * Small size and light weight. - I put velcro on top and fastened under the table surface. Lower on the priority list, but no less important.* 85W charging - No pass-through or lower power consumption like many cheaper docking stations.* USB 3.1 ports A and C - All USB ports are the latest standard and not one Combination of standards 2 and/or 3 and 3.1.* 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports - one to connect to a Mac, one to connect TB3 devices such as external monitors (up to 5K).* Ethernet and more.* ONE WIRED CONNECTION to my MacBook – My MacBook is used both in the office and at home. It's nice to just put it on the table, plug in a cable and you're done. I've been using it for a few months and it works perfectly. There are too many docking stations on the market that cause data flow bottlenecks by not using the device with the best features. Mostly not CalDigit. CONS: I'm using an external Samsung T3 SSD and am experiencing mixed transfer speeds. See photos. I'm using an 18" Thunderbolt certified cable. (possible speed 40 GB/s). Connected directly to the Mac's Thunderbolt 3 port, the W/R speed is 400MB/s. The /R speed is 352/388 MB/s. Connected USB-C port on the front of TS3, W/R speed is 252/314MB/s. So there is a bottleneck here somewhere. will improve these W/R speeds. Is it expensive. $300 is certainly a competitive price for what CalDigit has packed into this small dock. But the price may lead some to save some money with a cheaper charge pass model. Overall I'm very satisfied. But the price and transfer speed make this device worth 1 star.
