How does the CalDigit TS3 Plus do it then? Too bad about the 85W.

  It uses Thunderbolt 3. Same connector, but different protocol with 2-4x the bandwidth.

    I fail to see why you assumed I wouldn't want a thunderbolt 3 dock.
    • nfriedly 7y ago
      Because you said "preferably through USB-C".
      • tn890 7y ago
        I meant the actual physical connection? Man this whole Type C thing is confusing. Wasn't it supposed to simplify USB?
        • nfriedly 7y ago
          Oh, I see. Sorry about that. This stuff is stupidly confusing. For what it's worth, unless you're doing a constant full load on your CPU and GPU, 85 watts is probably enough.

          Thunderbolt 3 is the same form factor as USB-C, but there's different hardware in the cables themselves to enable higher data throughput. If you want to use Thunderbolt 3, the devices on either end need to specifically support it. Note that in the future, Thunderbolt 3 is getting de facto rebranded as USB4 (no space). https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/09/usb4-is-coming-soon-and-will-mostly-unify-usb-and-thunderbolt/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/09/usb4-is-coming-soon-...
