Pros: -inexpensive -has switches -accepts external power

Cons: -power supply is inadequate for hub (this is across the board for these products, not just for this seller) -unprotected current on ports (900mA per port, testing shows at least 1000mA for short periods of time) -the build quality could be a little better (the one I received wasn't quite snapped together properly, but that's a minor thing) -I have experienced minor issues with re-mounting devices after unplugging the hub and plugging it back in. this is most likely the result of my particular configuration and not the hub itself.

Overall Review: this post is an update on my previous review "Current rating not as advertised." after contacting the seller, it was discovered that a different variant of the product was being stocked. the ad has since been corrected. If high current output is needed on this hub for the likes of portable hard drives and chargers, order a higher rating power adaptor for the hub and note the following: 1: each port is rated to 900mA (very important) 2: this is a cascading hub with two voltage regulators. this means that ports 1-3 (starting from the side of the power adapter) share one voltage source, while ports 4-7 share a second. 3 (in regards to number 2) this hub does not appear to disable power to ports in the event of an overload. plan accordingly and balance loads between the two regulators. I do not know the rating per source, but a sustained 2000mA per regulator appears to be too much. 4: maximum power output of the hub is dependent on the adapter. with the supplied adapter, this is 900mA (from the computer) + 500mA (from the adapter) after this, performance will be unreliable, which is not an indicator of a malfunctioning hub BONUS 5: if you plan on using other hubs downstream of this one, the power switch for the port connected to the downstream hub can be turned off if both hubs have external power supplies (may not work with all hubs, you can tell this will work if the light for the port comes on with the port switched off) this can isolate supplies and eliminate the possibility of damage to multiple units at one time if current draw is becoming a problem. overall, this is a good product for the price. If my equipment burns this one out (problems with other equipment, not this hub), I will most likely buy another one of these

Pros: -distinct differentiation between power and data ports -heavy duty insulation -quality construction

Cons: -short pigtail -the packaging could be better. the products are quite susceptible to damage in shipping.

Overall Review: while the product I received was not the advertised 5ft cable (that I didn't need the full length of anyways) the product arrived quickly and worked as advertised. The seller was very helpful and quick to respond when I reached out regarding the discrepancy. I will most likely use this seller again, but will be extra cautious when ordering components that can be easily crushed as the packaging selected favors weight savings over product integrity. This is not necessarily a problem (I've become accustomed to this actually) but it is something to think about when ordering.

Pros: 130 watts of power delivery (TB models) Single computer connection, generic compatible (TB models) Usb hub TRRS headset jack and TRS rear audio out jack (non-S models) Thunderbolt passthrough (TB models) Network jack USB-C ports

Cons: Only 130 watts of power delivery (TB models) New Dell laptops will recognize these docks and will not allow a second dell dock to be attached (generic docks seem to be okay)

Overall Review: I disobeyed the manufacturer sales rep and am quite satisfied. After years of hearing sales reps tell me "buy the WD19DP, it's the most powerful dock we have" I disobeyed and bought the WD19TB. As a workstation class user, this does give me the limitation that I do need to use my laptops power adapter if I plan on using all the horsepower onboard, for daily use, 130 watts has been sufficient. As a benefit, I have solved issues that occurred in the DP dock models. I have full use of my thunderbolt ports, and don't have the same driver level issues that the DP model docks have on my machine. Keep note, the model names ending in an 'S' mean "secure" (or something like that) which means the audio ports have been removed. Grab the shorter model numbers to get sound on your dock.

Pros: Inexpensive Active cable: can handle some signaling issues that may come from long passive cables. Metal housing on cable ends: gives that premium feel Fiber cable: noise immunity

Cons: Active cable: some sources won't provide this cable with the power it needs. I experienced this with a cheap usb-c to hdmi adapter. Fiber: don't make tight bends with this cable or pinch it. Fiber cables tend to be more fragile than than their copper counterparts. Fiber: an mpo connector for the fiber link would have been awesome

Overall Review: This cable exceeded expectations. It was inexpensive for an active fiber cable, so I didn't know what to expect. As listed in my pros/cons, I first tested with a usb-c to hdmi converter (likely in usb mode) and did not successfully drive an output. Keeping the same source device and grabbing a different converter, everything popped up just fine. I threw an hdmi switch on the source side, and swapped between several source types with no issue. Signals were clean and clear.

Pros: all the ports you could want Cables included (HDMI, VGA, DisplayPort, USB 3.0, audio, and obviously power) metric ruler along the bottom! (no joke, molded right into the plastic) Built in speakers Great color reproduction Great contrast Solid base Fits my desk!

Cons: the speakers are a little on the quiet side No DVI cable included (not that I need it right now) 1080p as advertised (but that's why I bought these) I can now see how bad the color schemes of certain web pages for work are

Overall Review: I bought these so I could return the ones I borrowed from my office at the beginning of a certain pandemic. They sit on each side of my laptop's built in display, forming a 3 monitor panoramic setup, which is great for meetings, 3D modeling, and general nonsense. The side by side difference is remarkable. Light leakage is minimal and uniform, with a barely noticeable difference between the monitor at black and the monitor off, even in very low lighting environments. Now I want to replace the display in my laptop. I am keeping these on my list of good things to buy more of later.

Pros: Tool free Transparent Compact Does come with both a type A and type C cable USB 3.1 Gen 2 (I could only test to USB 3.0 though) Inexpensive adequate heat dissipation

Cons: it is still a plastic case It fits bare drives perfectly (no slop for those wraps that sometimes go on OEM laptop drives

Overall Review: Got this for the inevitable need to upgrade my laptop's SSD. I was limited by an older USB interface on the laptop side, but after an overnight image burn, this thing still kept the drive safely cool. It now holds the old drive as a backup.

This seller helped end my saga of issues for a part. I had originally purchased a very specific part at that big online retail store. However, the seller from the big retailer was not properly advertising the part number, and sent me the wrong part twice. Having given up on that retailer, I went here and purchased from IT Tech Specialist. I received my order quickly and with the correct primary part I was looking for. To add to my saga however, the wrong power supply was sent. I reached out to the seller and had both a response and action within a couple of hours. The seller worked with me for some time, trying multiple carriers to get me the correct power supply, going well beyond my expectations. Once the power supply got to me, the seller was sure to check in that I both received the part and that my ordered parts were working completely. If you have any doubts about what you might be ordering, buy from IT Tech Specialist

Item was heavy and the type of thing that normally gets dmaged in transit. Showed up a little early and well protected from shipping damage

With everything that was happening, the seller advertised an acceptable, but relatively long time to ship. Despite that, my order arrived an only a few days. As expected, it came in plain packaging, so if you're buying nice things and have porch pirates, that's something to look out for...
