Hi, Not only will you get the extra USB-A ports you will get HDMI, VGA, and Ethernet ports as well. Glad to hear that you got the dock set up easily. It is not quite plug and play as it does require a driver, but some operating systems will automatically download the driver. Cheers, j5create

This is the second docking station I have purchased. The first one burn out after about a year and a half. It works very well to have multiple monitor just wish it would have two hdmi ports. There isn’t much drop off in resolution between the monitor connected to the hdmi and vga. Overall it’s a good buy for the price.

Good buy for the price is what we strive for, and we are glad to hear it from you, Jose. The JUD380 providing 2 video ports for more screens to work with make this a popular choice. For 2 HDMI ports, we recommend the JUA365; in the case where you have USB-C, then the JCD381 would be the better option. Feel free to contact support on the packaging with questions, concerns, warranty information and a specialist will be glad to assist. Thank you for the review, j5create

I got this as a mini dock for my MS Surface 6 Pro. Without using the optional USB power input it could drive my large screen monitor, but it wasn't very happy about it. :-)
I replaced it with an actual Surface Dock on my desk. Still in my EDC kit for all the other helpful ports!

There's nothing spectacular about this Docking Station. It does what it's supposed to do. It lacks features of other similarly priced docking stations, like audio jack and SD card reader. Getting it on sale helps. I like that it worked without downloading software or a driver.

When you purchase a notebook these days you need to count not just what is included but also what is missing. The slim and sexy notebooks are giving up on features - either not enough USB ports or a missing ethernet adapter or a video adapter is not what you needed... This provides those features you are missing in a slim package.
Note that it will generate some heat while in use.

The docking station is functional and gets the job done including using a very long cable, 50 ft. I did not know the unit can fail if left plugged in since it overheated in my use.

I'm happy with the dock. I have 2 external monitors attached, and it works fine with them. I'm only giving 4 stars because the first one I had the one HMDI port stopped working. The one I have now works great though, and you can never have enough USB ports. Also, the design is very nice looking.

Nice design, providing extra monitor connectivity needed are the reasons for choosing the JUD380 - supporting up to 1 gigabyte Ethernet speeds for a more secure, reliable internet access plus USB ports for peripherals make this a top seller. Regards, j5create

Great features and easy to setup...with the setup disk. Downloading the files from the support site to a device that doesnt have cd-rom access can be a hassle. Overall not a bad device.,.,it does what it needs to do. I think its best for desktop use..home office setups, etc.
