So for my ASUS I just use the TB to HDMI adapter and all is well. From the Acer I use the DVI to HDMI cable. Sometimes I go direct to HDMI port on Mac, and other times I do TB to HDMI adapter. Both work great. I wish it had another USB port, as some devices don't play well together through a Hub. All in all this thing is a godsend for Mac users, given the limited options for Docking Stations.

This product is great for any mac user. There were a couple issue I ran into.
1. As the details mention, you can't connect dual screen if you run HDMI and Thunderbolt/DisplayPort to HDMI through the dock.
2. When using an SSD, there is about a 20% loss on read and write speed if connected via the dock (425MB/s to 345MB/s).
3. Provided Thunderbolt cable was too short. I'd rather it be optional to save money.

Here are some of the great things.
1. There is no speed loss using external HDD. Even when connecting multiple HDD via USB 3.0 on dock.
2. Gigabit ethernet is fast (Speedtest was over 650mbps, which is same compared to regular PC connected to Ethernet).
3. Obviously, you only need one Thunderbolt cable to connect multiple devices.

To summarize everything. Despite the issue of the dual screen, it was fixed by connecting the second display directly my MacBook Pro. Even though I can imagine more improvements for future Thunderbolt Docks, this one happens to be the best on currently sold on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars This will not boot any macbook built before 2014
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2023
Verified Purchase
To anyone looking to add bootable USB 3.0 connectivity to your macbook or other Thunderbolt 2-enabled device, make sure your machine is made after 2014 or the built-in firmware will not be able to boot off of drives attached to the dock. while this dock is capable of producing a 4k image, and to no fault of Elgato, make sure your machine is capable of handling a 4k screen as many CAN produce the image, but not be able to do anything with it. I'm currently running the dock on an older Macbook Air 4.1 which can not even parse a 4k video even though it has no problem showing full resolution on a 4k monitor. I had hopes to use my older macbook as a HTPC for my RV systems, but my computer is not up to the task (as such, im upgrading the logic board to a macbook air 7.1 [which surprisingly is a drop-in replacement to the existing board from 2011]). The dock, however, has functioned quite well. I have yet to test its audio or ethernet capabilities, but USB 3.0 speeds are in range as expected and the HDMI output works just as well. Just don't expect this dock to add additional speed and features your computer was never built with.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adds new life to my Thunderbolt iMac - Fast and flexible
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
Got this as an upgrade to a first-generation Thunderbolt iMac that's starting to show its age; particularly in the connectivity area. It has slow USB ports, so my external drives were sometimes painfully slow. And I've often wanted a second network port (my network has two subnets.) The Elgato dock solves both those problems beautifully. Plus the HDMI output lets me hook up my big TV as a second screen.

Setup was super-easy. You basically just plug it in. The dock seems well made and complements the look of the Mac.
I love that the main connectors are on the rear panel; I can tuck it under the screen of the iMac to hide the cable clutter. The fourth USB 3 jack on the front panel is handy for plugging in thumb drives.

I did some quick speed tests with three different USB 3 drives and was very pleased see sustained read and write speeds of around 175 MB/second (copying to and from the internal SSD of the iMac). This is dramatically faster than the built-in USB ports (as I expected) and makes it almost seem like a new computer!

It's great!

1.0 out of 5 stars A very expensive toy hub

From day one I blamed everthing but this Elgato hub for it disconnecting often from both my computer and network and causing prob lems with my network. It took me quite awhile and expense to finally discover that the unit was defective. I bought it on Amazon from the company Corsair (a game maker) They continually asked me for proof of purchase. I had sent them the amazon invoices 4 different ways and they still refused to accept that invoice. This device as they advertise it is a 4 port hub with audio. I paid $198 for it. I finally gave up trying to deal with them and found a professional HD 14 port Hub made like a tank. The cost on Amazon was $192. It has been working flawlessly since installed a month ago. Since Amazon does not like me to refer you to another manufacturer, I assure you it is the only 14 port HD hub available. I would not even consider recommending or using the Elagato hub. It’s not even heavy enough for me to use as a paperweight.

Not cheap but great product that works exactly as expected. No problems so far (I am using it with a 2012 MacBook Pro to add an external monitor, enjoy faster data transfer with hard disk drives, and utilise the daisy chain thunderbolt connector to attach an audio interface for music production).

Muy útil, mantiene todo ordenado permitiendo mantener conexiones en estación de trabajo. Podría tener algunos puertos USB adicionales, pero está realmente muy bueno.

Works great. Seems expensive - that's the only reason it doesn't get 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2560x1600) and it works perfect. The gigabit network really is gigabit

I've only used it with one monitor, a Dell U3011 (30", 2560x1600) and it works perfect. The gigabit network really is gigabit, I can transfer files at 989mbit/sec. USB3 is just as fast through the Elgato as directly connected. This is a great product, highly recommend.

My only complaints are the supplied thunderbolt cable is only 18" or so and the entire unit gets pretty warm. Minor nits.

HDMI port would not work correctly, only option was Thundrbolt to HDMI. Does not support two monitors. Serious letdown and not worth the money.
