UGREEN Thunderbolt 5 Dock, 13-in-1, 120Gbps Transfer, Single 8K, Dual 6K60Hz Display, 140W Max Charging, 2.5GbE, SD/TF 4.0, Revodok Max 2131 for Thunderbolt 5/4 MacBooks and Windows Laptops

I bought this to replace my older UGREEN 7-in-1 USB-C hub. In hindsight, the upgrade might not have been strictly necessary for my setup, but I was running that hub about 8 hours a day off my MacBook Air M2, and it would get noticeably hot, especially while also acting as a PD charging source. I did not want to cook the hub over time or risk it failing in a way that could potentially cause issues for my laptop, so I started looking for a more “stationary” long-term solution. That is what pushed me toward a dock. Docks are basically the all-in-one, leave-it-on-your-desk solution, but most of the premium options are expensive. The obvious high-end choice is CalDigit, but once you get into TS5 / TS5 Plus pricing it was hard to justify for me. At those prices, I would rather let a cheap hub eventually die and replace it. After comparing a bunch of options, I landed on this UGREEN Revodok Max 2131 for $270 (down from $299). It checked the boxes I actually cared about: * A brand I already trusted for hubs and docks * Something designed to run as a desk “lifeline” long-term * At least one higher-power port (30W) so I can charge an iPad and other devices without adding extra bricks/cables * Plenty of high-bandwidth ports for current and future use Once I got it, it was basically perfect for what I wanted. It has been a clean, single-cable dock setup for my MacBook (first the Air M2, now my MacBook Pro M4) and it feels like a much more serious, set-and-forget solution than a small travel hub. Right now I am in a dorm with limited space, so the dock currently sits on top of my cable box just to keep my desk usable. Even in that awkward placement it has been reliable. When I am back home and can actually keep it on my desk where it belongs, it looks very sleek and fits the “one cable” desk setup perfectly. The one downside is a USB-A compatibility quirk with my setup. My UGREEN USB switch/KVM (for sharing a keyboard and mouse between my Windows PC and Mac) did not work on the rear USB-A ports the way it did on my older UGREEN 7-in-1 hub. It did work on the two front USB-A ports, so it is not really a functional problem, but it is slightly annoying for cable management/aesthetics since I wanted everything plugged in behind the dock. If you also run a KVM/USB switch, keep that in mind. Otherwise, this has been a great dock that offers most of what I wanted from the premium brands without the premium price.

Great way to extend the functionality of a MAC mini 4 Pro, by increasing the number of USB-A, USB-C, and Thunderbolt 5 connections. Setup was easy.

This hub is expensive worthless crap. The hub disconnects my hard drives without ejecting them first when my Mac is sleeping. When I come back to my Mac I often see several "Disk Not Ejected Properly" error messages. Sometimes it is only one drive, others it is all the drives. I got Amazon support to send me another hub to replace this one. The replacement hub does exactly the same thing. This hub is complete useless garbage. Don't waste your time and money. This hub will corrupt and destroy the data in your hard drives. I contacted the manufacturer. Their support consisted of telling me to plug or unplug different devices to the hub to see if the problem would go away, it didn't. Since they are in China, this process took a day to get a response for each test/question. The entire process was very slow and painful, and ultimately pointless because the hubs are fundamentally flawed. Even the replacement that Amazon sent me had the exact same issues. All that the company could tell me was to send the hub back to amazon because they couldn't replace or refund it. Other cheaper hubs don't cause this problem. It isn't a problem with my cables, my uninterruptible power supply, or my Mac. Connecting the drives to a different, cheaper Thunderbolt 4 hub solves the problem. This hub either has significant quality problems or it is badly designed. Avoid it at all costs. Crushing your testicles between two cinder blocks would be much more useful and far less painful than using this poor excuse for a Thunderbolt 5 hub.

Works as expected, runs a bit warm but I think that’s normal. I wish there was a way to receive firmware updates. The company is very responsive to questions.Im happy with the dock .

Best dock in town. Everything you need at a competitive price. Premium

I wound up returning this as I had a couple of issues that couldn't be resolved to work with my setup. - My M1 MacBook Pro couldn't pass USB peripherals through; it would only charge and run displays - My Dell Precision couldn't get the full 140 W charging and continued giving "slow charging" alerts - My Dell also could not use any USB hubs, and then the dock would momentarily crash and reboot at random. I wound up returning and spending more on another option

This dock is great. I have it connected to my M4 Pro MacBook Pro and it's fantastic. Great selection of ports. So nice to have all the ports I need instead of just the USB/Thunderbolt ports on the MacBook. Provides all the power needed to charge my MacBook. Also provides a connection to my monitor and external drive. I put my MacBook on the desk and only have to plug in one Thunderbolt cable to turn it into a desktop machine. Wonderful. It's pricey, but you can't beat the performance and convenience. It's really cleaned up my desk. I can't really speak to the I/O speed. I haven't run any actual tests but so far, moving large files to and from multiple connected SSDs around seems ridiculously fast. I looked at every dock I could before I decided on this one and I'm really pleased I chose it. It's working out perfectly.

Works great allows me to use multiple peripherals with this one docking station

Thunderbolt5対応で、近々PC更新予定のある方が将来性見越して買っても良い商品。 セール時の購入がオススメであるが、Thunderboltの口を3口に増やせる物の中では比較的安価。(2口増やせるものはあるが3口はまだ少なめ) 注意点としては映像出力が無いので、モニタ繋ぎたい方には不適。ThunderboltとUSB-C、USB-Aを増やしたい方向け。

iPad pro(M5)で 外部モニターに画面出力しつつ充電もできて、音声はDACを介してスピーカに出力したい。加えて机上でiphoneの充電や、ipadのデータをSDや外部SSDに移したい。机上に据え置けるものがいい。折角買うなら、高くてもこの先長く使える最新規格のものが欲しい。 これらの要望を満足するものを探していて見つけたのがこの商品。 そもそもこのタイプのドックはmacやwinノートPC用で、ipadで画面出力できるかは怪しかったが、この商品はipadに対応との表記があったため購入。 他にもANKERのAnker Prime ドッキングステーションがありましたが、こちらはipadに対応との表記がなかったため、除外した。 前面の差組口がアップストリームと思い込んで、Thunderbolt 5ケーブルを使用し接続してしまい、画面出力ができなかった。あまつさえ、別途Anker Nano USB-C & HDMI ケーブル（タイプC－HDMIの変換ケーブル）を購入し、試したが当然ダメだった。 説明書を読みなおし、やっと間違えに気づき、差し直したところ、問題なく表示された。 背面のtype-cダウンストリームと、type-Aの差込口はどちらも音声出力ポートとして使用できます。 そのままスピーカーに接続してもいいし、DACに接続してもいいです。 私のような使い方は稀でしょうが、差し間違えには気を付けてください。 ipadのデータを移せるか否かは、試していないのでわかりません。

Thunderbolt出力にハブをいっぱい繋げて使えています。 最初、背面USB出力にハブを接続したところ、認識しないで焦りました。（ライバル製品も同じらしい） しかし、Thunderbolt出力であればOKみたいです。 図中で使用してる製品は以下の通りです。 ① https://amzn.asia/d/8K7flRy ② https://amzn.asia/d/7HevYT6 ③ https://amzn.asia/d/bwVK8GI クラムシェルで置いた時の見栄えが良さそうなので購入しました。 接続しているSSDの切断も一切無く安定していますし、何より見た目がいいです。 因みに土台は自作なので売ってないです…

デュアル4K@60Hzで安定動作しない。 2画面同時にブラックアウトして、2〜3秒以後復帰する。 全て純正付属品を使用して、３時間程度で発生。 シングル4K@60Hz運用時も、頻度は少ないが何回か同じ症状を確認。 初期不良品かと感じている。 尚、UGREENの日本公式ウェブサイトから問い合わせしたが、初回の返信は早めに飛んで来たものの、不具合時を撮影した動画など送り返したメールには返事が来ない状態。 もう数日待つ予定だが、返品を考えている。

Let‘s note FV1に繋いで利用を考えていましたが、残念ながら画面出力できませんでした。試しにVAIOやdynabookで試したところ問題なく出力出来ました。何故かLet‘s note FV1だけケーブル変えても何しても出力されません。USBポートが対応していない可能性ありそうでした。他は特に不満なく、ACアダプターも別置きですがサイズも本体より小さく許容範囲でした。他は全然気に入っていたので残念ですが、返品しようと思います。
