Docks vs Hubs - Whats the Difference?

Bro accidentally used the wrong setting on his beard trimmer

What happened to your moustache?

PLEASE make a Thunderbolt 4 dock with legacy firewire connection (I have the TB3 version, but need to upgrade to TB4). There is literally not 1 TB4 dock with firewire, many need that for their audio interface or other legacy purposes...

Can the TB4 "Hub" be connected to a TB4 "Dock" to further expand the number of available TB4 ports? So I'm trying to connect multiple external SSDs which are in TB4 enclosures. My PC has a single TB4 port. Connected to that TB4 port I have a TB4 "Dock" which has (2) TB4 ports. I would like to connect the OWC Hub to one of the Dock's TB4 ports, thus increasing my total number of TB4 ports to 4 (3 on OWC Hub + 1 still available on the Dock). I was hoping the video would have covered this scenario. Thanks!

Do you also review razor blades?

Does this work PC or is it only apple

Great video ! Clean and to the point. Well done man and thanks !

Great Video!! So I have an older Macbook pro (2015) with 2 USB-A ports. I have 2 cameras. A canon 90D DSLR as my main, and a logitech c920 as my overhead (using Camlink 4k). These work great with ECAMM thanks to your videos. My problem lies with the Rodecaster Pro II that I'll be adding to my studio. Given that I only have 2 USB-A ports that I'm already using for my two camera inputs, I'll be forced to eliminate the overhead USB cam to make room for the Rodecaster Pro USB audio input. I'm aware that I could run audio from the Rodecaster (monitor out) 1/4 inch to 3.5mm into my Cannon, and then into the Mac via HDMI to Camlink/USB-A. This would leave me with the second USB-A port availible, however everything I've seen suggests that running audio out of the Rodecaster and into a camera mic input isn't the best way to go. This is why I'm considering going with an ATEM Mini Pro I could combine both cameras (TAO converter tor USB cam) into the ATEM mini and into my Mac and then the Rodecaser into the second USB-A port via USB-C/USB-A adapter. I was just hoping you could shed some light on what OWC product is available (hubs,docs) that would allow me to use muliple cameras (4 max) with the Rodecaster Pro II and Ecamm. I'm not ready to upgrade my Mac yet so making my Mac Ports limitations (2 USB-A, 2 thunderbolt-2, 1 HDMI) work has been difficult to get info on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I do have the Pro Version of Ecamm Live and i love it. -Blessings

why are you talking so quick the video was helpful but dang lol

Another GEN Z’er with an ugly beard. Imagine that. How original

I am sorry, I cannot focus because of the --- , 🙂

I mustache you a question

I have a thunderbolt port on my windows pc motherboard, will these docks work?

Do i need to use the dual usb c input perse?

make less video with your face all throught the video smh

It looks like half his mustache is cut off lol

I have 2 ports for my pc Desktop gaming computer. I want to use at least 2 pc controllers so my nephew can play with me so I need a splitter for for them. I have no idea what to look for. Any ideas?. I'm using one of the ports for my mouse and keyboard combo.

Can you connect a docking station to desktop pc?

Nice one man.

tf happened with the moustachio my friend

Can i connect a 10 gigabit ethernet adapter thunderbolt 3 to this hub to share the internet connection with the PC with USB ? Thank you

Who turned off the lights? XD

for an audio interface, hub or dock?

This was informative

what's up with the lighting in this video lol

to me the difference is that a hub is portable while a dock is purposely stationary.

Btw, video is under-exposed

P.S. Thats not "style", that an mistake

What would happen if i conenct mu laptop to an HDMI cable and then connect a usb type c hub to the laptop that has its own hdmi slot and what if i connect another hdmi to it? Wouldn't this hub overload the computer or like stress it out. If i have 10 things plugged into the hub which is connected to one port?

Between the colored patches and the missing section of mustache it’s time to burn the whole beard down and start over.

Any recommendation for a hub or dock that can allow me to connect: usb dongle, headphone dongle, HDMI for the monitor, USB cable keyboard and if possible, the USB C power cord of my laptop.
With my current hub, if I connect everything the sound quality (input and output) is very bad, and I have to connect the headset dongle to the laptop.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated, maybe I am asking too much for a hub/dock to do.

One key light would have made a big difference here 😉 Thanks for the explanation, good tips here.

Good video.

But a powered doc makes it very hard to start up the computer. It's a total bust. Better to just get a Hub. That way you do not have the major starting issue

Had OWC for two years, not a power user. Used for music studio, USB 2 audio interface, monitor. MIDI peripherals etc. The USB 3.2 used as main audio connection has just packed in. OWC support say it's hardware. No repair service in the UK and just out of warranty. Really disappointing at this price. Customer support were great but can't do a thing or advise where to take it to have what I'm guessing will be an expensive fix. Avoid.

What would you recommend for my situation?
I have a base model imac 24. I am wanting to add additional external drives for media.
Would a Hub therefore be sufficient in this case?

Thank you :)

shave that face, please, lol, your other videos not like that

Hello and thanks-
Is it possible to use 2 or 3 USB microphones at the same time that are plugged into a hub or dock?

if my type-c doesn't support video output, should I only buy doc station or hub will fit too?

I don't own a Mac...

Good info, thanks

Is a thunderbolt doc better than a USB doc? I'm getting a new iMac and want something for internet connection, additional USB and thunderbolt ports and an SD card slot. What is your recommendation?

Thanks for the video. Great to know so far. Then I can also connect a dock, e.g. StayGo from "Twelvesouth" to an OWC TB4 Hub?

Thank you. One thing I am struggling with is that almost every thunderbolt hub advertises its ability to run "dual 4k monitors at 60hz" but none make any mention of a single 4k monitor at 120hz. Is there some technical limitation preventing this support, or is it generally supported and just not mentioned?

What is the advantage to getting a thunderbolt hub vs a usb-c hub?

I'm sorry, all I could think of was "what's the deal with this guy's mustache?"

Nice explanation of the differences

Simple and straightforward. Thank you sir
