IOGEAR Metal Vault Dock, USB 3.0 Docking Station with Built-In Backup Drive Enclosure, GUD310, red

This thing is a life saver. A quick and easy way to have a multiple monitor setup. Whats even better is that it allows my laptop screen to function as a 3rd display, which my docking station at work can't do. That's what I really bought this for. The pluses are additional USB ports, which are great because my laptop only has 2 USB3 ports. The 4 USB2 ports are good for a mouse and keyboard and other USB2 devices. I haven't used the ethernet yet, since I haven't run a cable from my modem. No on/off switch, but I use the switch on my power conditioner which also turns off my monitors and speakers, so I dont miss it at all.The multiple display was easy. Pretty much plug and play. Well, that is after I got them plugged in. Here's the issue with this, not a major issue by any means, but easy to deal with if you know ahead of time. If neither of your monitors have HDMI input, you WILL need to use an adapter. If your DVI input does NOT have 4 holes for the 4 pins around the flat slot pin, you CANNOT use the adapters that come with it. I thought hey, since they also had a DVI to VGA, maybe i could use both of those adapters and basically have HDMI - to - DVI - to - VGA for one monitor. NOPE. The way the adapters are gendered (male/female) you cant couple them. Luckily I had a HDMI-to-DVI adapter of my own laying around, otherwise I would have had to order one and wait for it to arrive.Also, if you buy an adapter, if you can get one that has a female HDMI input. That way you can connect to the dock with HDMI cable and the adapter goes into the monitor. The spacing of the HDMI and DVI ports on the back of the dock makes for a super tight fit for bulky adapters. I barely squeezed mine there.Great purchase. Just first look at your monitor before placing your order. If you plan on using two monitors and neither of them have HDMI, then check for those 4 holes for the pins surrounding the flat pin. If they arent there, you will need to order your own HDMI-DVI adapter. You dont need anything expensive. It'll suck if you have to wait for another delivery.

This docking station was super easy to set up, and worked flawlessly right out of the box. Be sure to install the latest software updates before trying to use multiple monitors. We have a Dell laptop connected to two displays using the HDMI and DVI ports, along with several USB devices, and everything works great! So much easier to only have the power cord and one USB cable to plug into the laptop now!

I bought three of this docking stations but one is not working and is connecting to the accessories recently The seller said it they can’t refund because it’s more 30 days. I purchased it on 6/29 and I requested it on 8/9. So the even their product is not working after 30 days, I can’t get a refund?

Easy to set up, has multiple ports, and reliable. Our company has ordered several of these and have had no issues with any of them and some we have had over a year. Will order again.

To be clear, audio that was supposed to play in front played in back and audio that was supposed to play as right played as left. Everything else worked perfectly. Build quality was a lacking for the price (some of the metal trim was coming off despite adhesive).

Lacks support for ultra wide resolution (3440 x 1440) and built-in NIC doesn't have driverless support for Linux (many other USB NIC are supported)

I had a USB hub years ago, that turned one port into four or five, and I thought that was pretty cool. But THIS is AMAZING. I'm new to setting up such an equipped home studio / office, and this hub truly has streamlined the configuration to just one USB that goes into my laptop. Ethernet cable, printer, mixer that connects the mics and guitar inputs to the amp/monitor, so that everything can run through the computer to Zoom-based performances! You will see the new music videos thanks to this hub soon on JanelleJazzSinger.com and also webinars on BetweenTheWaves.info. Stay well, everybody!

Works great with my 5 year old laptop that was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Ran the installer file from the included CD, but received an error that the software wasn't compatible with the version of Windows. Plugged in the USB cable anyway and Windows installed the drivers and soon afterward I had both external monitors working along with the laptop screen.

Let me start by saying I have limited knowledge of computers, so trying to find a docking station on my own was a daunting task... Nowhere does this indicate this little guy will work with a chromebook, but I decided to take my chances. I connected it using a USB 3.0 connection to my Asus C202SA-YS02. I was expecting thorough disappointment, but was pleasantly surprised that it extended my desktop, and allowed me to hook up my bookshelf speakers too. I am very much looking forward to setting the whole thing up with my ergo keyboard, mouse and second monitor. Though it will only allow you to have an output of 2 usb 3.0 hubs before it drops to the 2.0 connection for all usb ports, it's still a fantastic deal. I tried it out by watching a youtube video. This is a great option for a technically challenged person like me! :) I got it on a deal where I saved about 10% of cost, but would be happy to pay full price. Just as a friendly FYI, This does not charge the stuff you plug into it like the docking stations I had used in the past.

Amazing deal by Amazon. Similar other products are CND 120+ but got it only for CND 75. Good product for desktop use, has 4 USB 3.0 ports compared to 2 in other products, also has a HDD case (haven't used it). Iogear customer service claims it is UASP enabled. 'Metal' is more of a gimmick, doesn't matter, there is no real need for a metal casing anyways.

Me sentí atraído por la idea de conveniencia de tener un docking station, sin embargo ha sido una fuente constante de frustraciones. Los componentes dejan de funcionar al azar, a veces el mouse, a veces el teclado, a veces el ethernet... en sesiones muy cortas pero a veces también en sesiones largas, es totalmente impredecible. Los displays son una constante fuente de conflictos, nunca funcionó con 3 monitores (intentarlo resultó en pantalla azul), solo funcionó con 2 en configuración extendida, al clonar crasheaba. En general problemático. Lo intenté con dos computadoras diferentes, con Windows 7 y Windows 10 y en ambos presentó problemas, aunque particularmente en Windows 7. Ojalá y funcionara bien, prometía ser un gran producto, no me quedó más remedio que solicitar devolución.

A perfect laptop dock. It even works on my work laptop with only USB2 port. You can install the DisplayLink driver directly instead of the IOGear one, which is one version behind. In Win10, all drivers were loaded automatically. Installing the driver I believe just "updates" what's on the WindowsUpdate. Plus it adds a not-really-useful icon. Windows 7 required me to install the driver to get Ethernet and display going. All in all this fits my needs perfectly.
