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 Gabe Ries

This thing is expensive but PERFECT. Please read on for all the details. I've tried many USB-C hubs and they're equally terrible because only one or two ports work. And almost nothing works when exporting 4K to an editing monitor. From $100 to $30 hubs, the limitations are painful when you import RAW photos or media and try to use the display. and Thunderbolt 3 are different and I needed a dock for Thunderbolt 3 to create content. Wirecutter recommended the CalDigit TS3 Plus and since it's Wirecutter you can't be wrong. CalDigit's TS3 Plus arrived from Revane a few days later and I was ready to get some work done. My current setup is a 27-inch Dell 4K display and lots of storage. I have a SanDisk SATA SSD connected to a Type-C port (very fast) and back. everything works again on an external Seagate 8TB (very slow, but it's a workhorse). I shoot and photograph with a Sony A7iii and use the SD card slot for dumps at the end of the day. A lot has to do with that. thing and it all works. Last night a classmate came in with a flash drive and I just plugged it into one of the back ports. Optical audio allows me to set up a good 5.1 sound system, but that turned out to be even more important this morning when someone brought their DAC. It's only been two days and I already feel like this is one of the best investments I've ever made. The only thing that worries me is that the power adapter is quite bulky, but I can live with that as it fully charges my MacBook at 85W. That means I have a spare charger! You know they're around $100 at the Apple Store, right?
