A few comments after trying this out myself: 1) Back USB-A ports support limited device types. I had a couple USB 3 hubs that I discovered only worked in the front USB-A ports. After several exchanges with support, they resorted to indicating this was by design, because the back ports use a "second level HUB chip". Nowhere in their documentation or online do I find this limitation documented. 2) Test out all your ports when you received the unit. The one I received had an SD card reader that didn't work. I tested it with SD cards that worked in a USB-A SD card reader plugged into one of the USB-A ports on the front of the unit. 3) The unit I had also had ALL the USB-A ports stop working after 72 hours. 4) I had several interactions (through email, generally a day turnaround per interaction). They clearly do not read emails, as each email included questions that were already answered in the prior email. So in summary: USB-A limitations, poor quality control (SD card reader and fail of all USB-A ports), poor product support

@@WarriorsPhotoyes, we don’t use it for internet most of the time and instead it’s for those of us who have NAS/server setups for video/media editing. You might be asking what’s the purpose of a NAS. It is a network attached storage that allows you to access your data where ever you are in the world as long as you have an internet connection as well as it helps to consolidate all of your data. Imagine having one drive that can hold multiple hard drives worth of data, but with redundancy in case a drive fails. The other benefit is it helps you to stay organized. It is much easier to access one drive rather than having to pull out like 10 external hard drives where you don’t know which drive has which files. Switching to a NAS, vs. having multiple internal or external hard drives is the best decision I’ve made in years

@@WarriorsPhoto I’m just your average joe that likes to take photos and make videos when I go traveling. The 10 gbe is just helpful for when doing real-time playback directly off of the NAS. Using the regular 1 gbe is like trying to play a 4k video using an old usb 1.0 or 2.0 vs. playing a 4K video off of a usb 3.0 flash drive. With the 1.0 you’ll get buffering and the video may not even play, but if you get the usb 3.0 drive with faster and more bandwidth you’ll be able to play the video smoothly. It’s definitely a sticker shock in terms of the cost for initial setup (NAS with 10 gbe capabilities + a 10 gbe adapter for your computer + drives + (optional 10 gbe network switch)) but the difference between this and using external hard drives is just a quality of life improvement as well as it brings peace of mind in case a drive fails. Once every thing is setup you’ll have loads of space depending on how big your drives are and how many drive bays your NAS can take. All you’ll have to do is just replace a drive if one of them ever fails and you’ll also help subvert the disaster of losing everything if you were to just use one external hard drive. That being said redundancy is the first step to protecting your data. You should also backup your data as well. I have my data backed up to two separate drives. One drive is at the bank in a safety deposit box. And I keep another one at home in a fireproof media safe. Every month I’ll rotate out the ones in the safe for the ones at the bank. Having a backup off site is the best insurance you can have against a disaster. Often times it’s easy to rebuy all of our stuff, but losing years worth of photos, videos and experiences can be utterly devastating for many

@markedwards4879 Жыл бұрын
Shame that it doesn’t have display link or similar functionality to enable additional thunderbolt displays using an M1 or M1 Pro. My biggest regret with my 14” M1 Pro is that I read the specs as maximum 3 displays - which it can do, however one *must* be the built in display. Even in clamshell mode only 2 external are supported. I get around it by having my 3rd Thunderbolt Display plugged into an older Mac and using the extended display to connect to it. It works well but is clunky and way less than optimal. Next time I’d spring for the extra and buy the Max version.

I'm constantly juggling cables and devices on my only available TB port on the MBP to charge my peripherals and phone etc.. since my studio display ports are all used up by external SSDs and an ethernet adapter. The dock would solve the ethernet adapter, and provide me with more than enough ports to connect all my periphery and SSDs.

I'm using another one for my 6K XDR display which uses a crazy amount of bandwidth and the rear USB-C ports still work at full speed just like if it was plugged directly into my Mac which other docks have had issues with which is why with the TS4 I had to plug my server in to my mac directly with another cable.

I agree, this is not for most users and you do need the right cables and a Windows laptop that actually has two TB4 ports. Understandable that it is not recommended, as it is potentially asking for a sea of troubles with most users not knowing or understanding the diff between ports and cable specs. Would have been great if the review would have tested and confirmed this extra possibility. Anyway thanks for the info 🙂🙏

I wonder if this would work with a M1 or M2 mini. Might have to buy separate thunderbolt cables I’ll bet. This would be killer for Mini owners. Especially the $599 Mini owners.

Hi there, yes, you can. However, if you are using the M1/M2 chip, only one monitor can be connected due to the M1/M2's restriction. The M2 Pro can support dual monitors.

Is there support for 4K 120HZ via HDMI 2.1?
@iVANKYOfficial11 ай бұрын
The HDMI port is capable to support HDMI 2.1, theoretically allowing for 4K@120Hz. However, due to Apple's restrictions, our dock can't reach refresh rates higher than 60Hz through the USB-C interface at the moment, but it can reach 120 Hz when Apple upgrates in the future.

12:12 there's an error: Mac Mini with M1/M2 supports 1 6k & 1 5k display simultaneously. So dual 5k60 is possible Edit: wait nvm it's 1 6k via TB, the other has to be via HDMI
@dexopaw Жыл бұрын
You were half right, the M2 (non-Pro) Mac mini does support 1 6k and 1 5k display at the same time over Thunderbolt, so I would assume it would do it though this dock too. The M1 Mac mini does not, unfortunately, it only supports one display over Thunderbolt.

Yup, I mentioned that. It just means it's better to spread out your devices so it uses both TB4 chips instead of just having everything on one. I can power my 6K XDR display, Server with 1500 MB/s and Thunderbolt SSD with 2200 MB/s at the same time with no issues.

@MaxTechOfficial Жыл бұрын
I use Thunderbolt networking, about twice as fast as 10 gbps. Most docks use 1gbe or 2.5gbe because if you go 10gbe you need a fan and you're going to really limit the bandwidth of the other ports.

Sadly this does not work with widescreens such as the G9 49" Oled. HDMI will not support the appropriate resolution of 5120 x 1440. I bought a converter for HDMI to USBC to see if I can get it working, but it is not looking good. Might need to return my dock.

Just as a FYI, if you haven’t returned it yet, it will support it through display port. Had the same issue when using HDMI, which is a Mac issue not doc issue, but the display port works for my G9 OLED.

Help! Is there a dock that does hdmi or thunderbolt to display port in 120hz?! I am doing a single set up for both my PC and MacBook Pro. This is a triple Alienware QD OLED set up. The 32” 4k QD OLED (center monitor) has hdmi 2.1. If I connected directly to the monitors I could get the faster refresh rates. But a dock would be ideal. Does such a dock exist? Thanks
@Jushwa4 ай бұрын
might need a thunderbolt to displayport or thunderbolt to hdmi 2.1 cable and bypass the hdmi port on the dock if you can, I see so many of them are limited to only 4k but with thunderbolt you would be able to get the full 2.1 throughput

It’s the same manufacturer as the Ivanky. It even looks identical but with fewer ports. Except I paid less than 100 bucks Canadian for 2 of them 🤣. It was way too good of an offer to pass up. The ivanky definitely has a far better port selection tho.
