A Macbook Pro with multiple ports: how cool would that be? Well, it’s not going to happen, so you need to have a dock to be able to use an external hard drive or anything for that matter.

PROS
- If it works, it’s great
- Plug & play (again, if it works)
- A lot of inputs
- Looks nice
- Works fast
CONS
- It was a big hassle to set up with my Macbook (blame it on the Macbook)
- You need to have a power source for it – it also has a big power brick
VERDICT
I’ve never been disappointed with OWC products. I use the OWC travel adapter on the daily and it works perfectly. However I had A LOT of issues with this USB-C dock. I’m not sure if it’s 100% my Macbook Pro’s fault, but it definitely has something to do with my 2000 dollar Mac… When this dock works, it’s great. It has a lot of ports and it’s very easy to use. However, I unfortunately didn’t get any pleasure out of using this dock since my Macbook had a lot of issues showing the sources plugged in to the dock. However, as said: it’s probably due to my Macbook so I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. You can find the OWC USB-C Dock here.
