I use this with two HP EliteDisplay E272q monitors, and connect my 2020 M1 Macbook Pro with an DVI to HDMI adapter. Works great.

Needed to add additional screens to my <2013 MacBook Pro. First tried a product from Matrox but it proved to be unusable due to abysmal software. Returned and purchased this docking station and have been wholly pleased. Bonus is getting all the additional functionality over just the external displays I was looking for. Seems well constructed, only requires DisplayLink driver and looks nice on my desk.

Nice Port. Not as many channels as I thought but it is everything i needed for my laptop.

You bet it is! I had a unique situation where I had to pair up 2 legacy DVI-based monitors with an older (2013) personal MacBook Pro and a newer (2019) MacBook Pro for work. I needed a docking station with flexibility to extend both laptops. This dock works perfectly with both of them! Driver set up was a breeze, and, with the right USB-C to USB-A dongle (purchased separately, HB30C1A1CPD) I have no problem hooking up via USB-A (cable provided) or USB-C on the respective laptops. Definitely a worthy buy to bridge both old and new tech!

I am using this device with a MacBook Pro. All devices - including two monitors - connected to it with a minimum of configuration. My only wish is that it would also power the MacBook Pro. I have to plug in both a usb cable for the docking station and one for the power supply.

Video display experience latency with dynamic websites. It is better to split display from the external display port. I will put this on eBay and get some of my money back.

My Dell XPS 730x with 2 monitors cratered about 5 months ago and I had to use my HP 17" Laptop as my computer. I got the docking station and connected everything as per the instructions. It has worked flawlessly since installation. I now have a 3 monitor system with 3x4TB external drives and a USB3 7 port hub connected through the docking station. My new Dell Inspiron 15 7000 has Wifi only and the docking station gives me hard wired network access.

Was going to order the Windows dock for my Surface Pro, but didn't have good feeling about it. My coworker told me I should try the StarTech Docking Station, and I'm glad I did. Made all the necessary connections with two monitors and has worked flawlessly since day one. Thanks for an awesome product!

I searched for a unit that would satisfy my needs and this unit fit the bill. My computer tech directed me to the unit and I am happy that I made the purchase

I would give this unit a 5 star rating, but the first one was defective. The rear USB ports were not functional. Tech support was very helpful and immediately diagnosed the problem and directed me to return it to Amazon, which replaced. I have had the replacement unit installed for two weeks and it is very stable and works well. My laptop is a Samsung S9000 which I connect to the console via an Adder KVM switch. I am driving two DVI monitors and using an external keyboard and mouse connected via the KVM Switch. I am also using a network of 3 USB3 hubs with the docking station. One note of caution, however. My laptop has an Intel 4000 video chip. The Samsung drivers are not compatible with the Displayport software. Samsung has not updated the drivers, so I had to manually install the Intel drivers. The automated Intel installation process exited since Samsung had done some modifications. Instructions are available on the Plugable website. After completing the driver update it has worked flawlessly. I am very satisfied with the product and would give it a five except that the first unit was defective. That however can happen with any product. Startech and Amazon did provide excellent support.
