Customers have good things to say about the Ultra Drive Mini Dock's ease of use, plentiful ports, compact size, and generally good performance. Many appreciate the additional USB ports it provides for their MacBooks. However, some customers experienced issues with compatibility, connection stability, and the device's tendency to overheat. A few also felt the price was a bit high.

    Limited Usability

    I have a new MacBook Pro with only Firebolt ports; this minidock does not work for a USB external monitor or hard drive (not even with only one plugged in). I called customer support as instructed on the box. The agent said it's only meant for thumb drives and UBS keyboards; it doesn't have power to support anything bigger. I suggested that that info should be on the packaging. The agent was extremely snippy and said the fine print says they can change the usability at any time. No more j5create purchases for me with agents that are angry that we call for support after spending a lot of time trying to make it work.

    Aluminum looks good but has plastic borders, the HDMI port stoped working after a few months, the sd card reader sometimes works, the usb c connectors are flimsy as well so be careful with them, I would recommend buying one from amazon for a lot cheaper

      Daisy, We regret to hear the JCD382 did not work right for you. The mini dock is a PnP model and if there is a cover on the Mac, it may not connect properly resulting in a non functional dock. If you wish to troubleshoot and potentially narrow down the root of the problem, please reach out to support and a rep will gladly assist.
      Respectfully,

    You can't use this with a laptop case. It won't stay put. But even without the case, it constantly ejects devices that you put in the USB, even if you don't move the laptop. Definitely not worth it for the price tag.

      Great for getting the job done and easy to use due to it's PnP nature; the JCD382 makes a great choice for Mac users. In regards to the experience you had; it sounds like the mini dock may have been worn out at the USB-C connections and thus may sound like an exchange would be required. We value our customers' input and if needed; feel free to contact support on the casing with questions, concerns, warranty information and an agent will be happy to lend a helping hand.
