Set up a complete multimedia workstation with this StarTech ThunderBolt 2 docking station. Its HDMI and Thunderbolt ports support 4K display monitors, and the SPDIF optical output lets you connect a hi-fi audio component. This StarTech ThunderBolt 2 docking station has four USB 3.0 ports for connecting multiple devices and an eSATA input for an external hard drive.
Q: Hi, does this dock charge the battery of the MacBook while in use? Through the thunderbolt port?
A: It uses the TB3 cable to charge. But not complete delivery. Meaning it is slow.
A: Yes, it should. Thunderbolt 1Gen provides 10 gb/s speed, that's enough for your needs.
Q: What versions of OS X are supported?
A: undefined
Q: Can you run dual 4k monitors from this port? Connecting to a 2017 Macbook Pro.
A: Yes, you can. However you may have flickering issues at 5k. The only dock I have had zero flickering issues with is CalDigit TS3. I think TS3 Plus is now out, but cannot speak on it. Still on pre-order I think. And sold out.
