Our take
As a dedicated Apple user, this StarTech Thunderbolt 2 dock presents a robust solution for expanding my connectivity options, especially if I'm still running a machine with Thunderbolt 2. The inclusion of eSATA and S/PDIF Out ports is a nice touch for legacy peripherals or specific audio needs. I appreciate the 4K HDMI and Mini DisplayPort for external displays. However, it's crucial to remember this is a Thunderbolt 2 dock, so it won't be compatible with newer Thunderbolt 3 or 4 machines without an adapter. The fact that it doesn't come with an adapter is a definite consideration, but at this price, it’s a solid pick for its intended purpose.
