A Must Have Product
August 6, 2020
If you are moving from an old mac product (in my case a 2012 MacBook Pro) to something with different ports and connections (in my case a 2020 MacBook Pro) then this device is a must. It is the Swiss Army Knife of connectivity. And it worked seamlessly. Strongly recommended. And OWC delivered quickly. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Great unit, but I'd like more manual/help
July 27, 2020
I bought this Dock because I have a 27" Apple Thunderbolt monitor and a lot of other devices that don't know from USB-C. I've managed to connect things but have been reduced to using a local dongle and directly connecting the monitor via the laptop itself. I should be able to connect the monitor through the dock, but when I try it doesn't work well. I'd appreciate some tech support or some more specific manual instructions and troubleshooting help.

Beautiful Dock
July 3, 2020
This is my second OWC Thunderbolt Dock, I had one for an earlier iMac that was Thunderbolt 2 based, and this one is just as nice, but has a better selection of ports, and more charging current. OWC does a great job with these, I'd recommend them any time. I bit pricey, but no one else comes close. I would recommend this item to a friend!

The best transition dock
June 14, 2020
This is the best “transition” dock ever made. For users who live in both Thunderbolt 3 world but still own FireWire 800 and Mini DisplayPort monitors this is the dock for you. I needed a dock to transition me into the next generation of Mac products without losing the huge investment I’d made in gear from the past. This will give you the flexibility to take your time investing in the futurE and all with the stamp of OWC quality. Great product. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Great dock, but underpowered USB-A ports
May 18, 2020
The OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock is literally the hub of my multi-display, multi-peripheral desktop setup for my MacBook Pro 13", I use most of the ports on it, and it's been rock solid since I bought it almost two years ago. However, in the last week (May 2020) I have had two occasions where different devices could not be powered by the USB ports OWC advertises as "high power." Both devices require 2 amps, but when I checked the User Manual for the TB3 dock, it documents the power output of the "high power" USB-A ports to be only 1.5A, even on the latest version of the dock. Instead, I had to power the devices using an inexpensive USB power bank that does output 2A. The current TB3 dock has been upgraded for 85W out the USB-C port, but the USB-A ports are unchanged. It is disappointing that such an expensive dock still has USB-A ports with a maximum power output level that is not enough for the latest USB-A devices. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Rock solid - No flaws
December 8, 2018
I purchased one of these back in 2017 for my MacBook Pro (2017) model. It performed flawlessly with every peripheral I hooked to it. That includes firewire drives (the first TB 3 dock had firewire), SD cards, audio interfaces, monitors, USB drives, TB drives, you name it. No hangs, no strange behavior just solid performance. And it charges my MBP! What more can you ask.
I recently traded that 2017 MBP for a 2018. When I hooked the new MBP to the dock there were no issues, I was working as soon as I made the connections.
I have seven OWC external drives, numerous internal SSD's in iMac's, memory, you name it. Their products just work. This dock is a perfect example, I had co-workers who purchased docks from other manufactures and everyone of them experienced some kind of problem. Save yourself the grief and aggravation, buy OWC. Life is too short to deal with lame peripherals.

Socializes my MacBook Pro to the network
November 7, 2018
This dock is fixture in my office. It provides power to my MacBook Pro at the same time as connecting directly to my corporate ethernet and providing more ports than I need. So far, I use the power, ethernet, USB-3 ports only. Physically, the dock sits behind my laptop out of sight when I work. The pass through ethernet connection has been flawless, as has been the USB connection which I uses, item alia, to connect to stand-alone robotics systems. The dock does not intercede with its own MAC addresses etc and so is transparent. But I really like not having to provide another power supply for the laptop in the office. That stays at home ready for the road and where it is accompanied by the OWC Travel Dock. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Convenient and easy
October 22, 2018
Works perfectly with my new MacBook Pro 13 for easy connection with external keyboard, monitor, flash drives, printer. Multiple USB ports make it simple to use older USB devices. I'm undecided on the charging feature - there are times my laptop is at 100% charge and if I want to keep using the external monitor I have to move display cable directly to the laptop. Clearly I am not a tech guru - I know just enough to get by so take that with a grain of salt. I'm a huge fan of OWC- they have great products and excellent customer service.

I bought this for the Firewire legacy port on a thunderbolt 3 dock - to lock in that capability before these units were/are discontinued. Have not actually used this dock yet - I am waiting for the new Mac Pro (2019). My current systems do not have thunderbolt on them. The dock appears well built, as is typical for OWC products.

A Must Have for TB 3 MAcBook PRo 2018
October 13, 2018
I took the time to write this because I rely on other’s when they share their experiences. I med OWC at NAAM 2016 and was so impressed. Their compassion about helping musicians through technology corks , seemed valuable to me.
After purchasing a state of the art MacBook Pro 2018 it became evident that I need to expand the connectivity: I successfully connected my MOTU 896 mk 3 [FW800 to TB2 to TB3] Glypth drive old external drive used by PT that was now replaced by OWC SSd TB 3 drive , My G Force TB 2 Samples Drive, 2 view Sonic 2.5K Monitors: I did not go to 4K ‘{though probably awesome) I do not have the budget. Connected an old USB 3.0 to connect an external Axiom Pro 49 keyboard controller and USB keyboard and mouse. In addition, I have one FIX IP address to connect a slave to my Mac so heavy VI are processed by my PC Win 10 i7 very good PC I just went for it trusting that if things are not as stated I relied on the return policy but as stated this is a very reliable solid must-have device.
My only suggestion is to add TB 3 connectors even if it requires expanding the bandwidth.

Nice dock for Macbook Pro
August 28, 2018
The dock works very well. I have a 4k monitor attached with a mini displayport to displayport cable and the image is rock solid at all resolutions. A second monitor is attached with a USB-C to HDMI cable and it works well. It took a couple of tries to get the dock to recognize the ethernet cable but it's worked well since. The USB-A ports are as fast as the USB 3 ports on the iMac at work. All in all I'm happy with my purchase. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Best TB 3 dock!
August 23, 2018
Bought 5 of these for office setups. This is easily the best TB3 dock out there with full support for everything Apple (Apple's version of Display Port, etc). I did find that MST wasn't supported (Small print stuff) but very few Apple Computers support MST for use in DisplayPort Daisy Chaining.
Otherwise, the ports are all fast under load and I've found no weird gotcha's like I've found with a few less expensive docks. P.S. It's nice to be back to a single connection to our laptops again.

It's a very useful dock!
August 22, 2018
So I bought a brand-new 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro. I decided to get this dock because I wanted a simple one-port solution for when I need to grab and go with the laptop and I didn't want to have to disconnect a bunch of kit. I have an external keyboard, mouse, a USB time machine drive, and a USB lightning connector all plugged into this dock and it works great, even under load. The only negative I can find is that it's not powerful enough to charge the MacBook Pro, so I do have a separate power cord plugged into another port just for that. Overall, I would purchase again.

Expensive but well built
August 6, 2018
We purchased several of these for our new Mac office machines. Our operatives often take their laptops out of the office, and with the advent of only providing USB-C / TB3 ports on the new MBPr products, connecting MANY of the products we use daily becomes time consuming and messy. These devices allow our team to connect and cable-manage their devices in a more "permanent" fashion, allows them to power their MBPr while making them more mobile.
Money well spent, even thought the pricing is high.

Thanks for providing a dock that allows me to use my older FW800 drives. I do wish there were an HDMI option, but certainly not a dealbreaker. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Where is the MacPro update?
June 21, 2018
Since there has been no update to the MacPro since 2013, this is how you turn a fast iMac into the next best thing. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from (*) OWC 13-Port Thunderbolt 3 Dock with Cable - Space Gray *Model with FireWire 800 Port*.

Solved all my problems
June 7, 2018
I recently purchased the iMac-Pro and soon discovered that it would not recognize my external monitors and that there are no adapters for Firewire 400 or 800 to either usb-c or usb3.
This unit took care of both problems and has other pluses to boot. Easy to set up and works well.
Minor shadow noise in the external monitor, but is probably a shielding problem.

Perfect for my needs
June 7, 2018
Given my system layout, this is more than suited to my needs as a central hookup for drives, thumb-drives, and for provision of the optical sound output no longer installed on iMacs. Pricey. but seems well-made. I'm pleased. This review is from (*) OWC 13-Port Thunderbolt 3 Dock with Cable - Silver.
