Apparently you just missed me saying my CalDigit TS3+ failed last week and IT had a whole bin full of others that failed.
It's not the cables.. they handed me a new TS3+ and it immediately worked perfectly and it will probably continue to work for a year or two before starting the process of flaking out.
To be honest with the # of them I've seen break (almost everyone I know at work) the posts here seem like astro-turfing.
You might have a good one, but if you had 500 of them in an office you wouldn't think the product is "good" on average.

Not one has failed in my circle of friends, I think they're ugly but the build quality seems pretty great, so I'm just surprised to hear about your IT department's bin of dead TS3+ that they keep around for some reason. (I can't speak for the OWC dock personally.)
- ben7799 5y agoBasically so many have failed they've got a bin of them waiting for a chance for electronics recycling. Sure a corporate anecdote is an anecdote but it's a sample size of ~500 versus 1 or 2-3. The OWC ones do seem to be worse, that's why we transitioned to the TS3+.
