OWC Thunderbolt Hub 5-Port Connectivity Solution

The biggest highlight is how compact yet powerful this hub is. It instantly expands a single Thunderbolt port into multiple high-speed connections, making it easy to connect monitors, storage drives, and accessories all at once. It’s perfect for keeping a clean, clutter-free workspace. Performance is excellent—fast data transfer speeds and stable connections across all devices. I’ve had zero issues running multiple peripherals simultaneously. It also handles high-resolution displays with ease, which is great for productivity and creative work. Build quality feels premium with a solid, durable design, and setup is completely plug-and-play. No complicated configuration—just connect and go. Overall, this is a reliable, high-performance Thunderbolt hub that delivers exactly what you need for expanding your workstation. Highly recommend for anyone using a Mac or PC with limited ports!

The ultimate Thunderbolt 4 hub for my Mac Studio M2. I now have 6, 4Tb SSDs externally connected to my Mac using this hub. Works perfectly, speeds as fast as my internal SSD and no bit our unmounting problems like the other hub I had.

I am currently using this to connect my Mac mini through the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Hub to power my external display and run my Time Machine backups. • Performance: The data transfer speed is excellent and consistent—perfect for heavy Time Machine tasks. • Stability: I haven’t experienced any connectivity issues, flickering, or lag when outputting to the monitor. • Build Quality: It feels like a high-end, professional-grade solution that fits perfectly into a high-performance workspace. If you are looking for a reliable hub that handles high-speed networking and professional storage without a hitch, this is it. Highly recommended!

I really want to give this 5 stars, but it has one just plain dumb design flaw. The power port and the uplink port should both be on the same side, the back side. The useful ports should be on the front side. I tried using one of the 3 ports on the side with the power connection as the uplink, but it doesn't work. So now you have this permanently "in the way" cable coming out the front, and only a USB-A port available as easy to plug into. The 3 USB-C ports are in the back, where it's going to be harder to use. So I'll have to get short USB-C extensions to bring dongles around front. Just a dumb dumb design. But functionally it works great.

The Hub works great, plug and play! Speed drop when having two Thunderbolt 4 NVME drives connected is around what's expected, getting ~1.4GB/s per drive still. The 60w power output to the computer is kinda meh, my 16" M1 Max Macbook Pro only keeps charge with it while I'm using it, sometimes even drains a couple percent. But when I take a break from using the computer, it actually charges, so it's good enough to not have to think about having a separate charger connected. Design also feels robust. I should have paid for the guaranteed faster shipping though because with the cheapest shipping it took around 2 months to arrive which is insane. Finally, for other Europeans: I can confirm the PSU that comes with this item supports 100-240v 50/60hz, so you can use it with a passive wall-socket adapter. You could also just buy a new power cord, it's the same cord as big PCs have IIRC (or the one that's similar, that monitors are using. Don't remember exactly and can't unplug it right now)

This is solid everything works. Been through 5 others this is the best

This is a fantastic value. I was able to eliminate two flimsy hubs and daisy chain several SSDs, an external hard drive, connect a remote portable monitor without a hiccup. The best part, from my perspective, is that I am able to plug my Lunda Display dongle directly into the hub instead of the back of the iMac 27 inch (2020) and it works seamlessly. With every other hub or dock I've tried the Luna dongle will absolutely not work unless it is plugged into the computer directly. This is a game changer and allows for easy port expansion. There is no excessive heat from the hub. It works straight out of the box and the ability to daisy chain different sections makes disk storage super easy. I love it.

This is worth the cost. The connectivity, the speed, it’s the right way to extend your USB-C ports. As someone who edits large format video. I need something that is going to connect fast drives so I don’t have to edit on my internal HD.

Excelente producto funciona al 100%, no defrauda.

Importante sapere che è compatibile con tutti gli hard disk con sistema Thunderbolt 3, ma serve utilizzare sempre e solo cavi thunderbolt 4, in caso non riconosce gli HD. In lungimiranza con la tecnologia che avanzerà verso il 4, è ottimo investimento. Lo utilizzo come Hub per collegare un Apple MacBook Pro M1 13" con scheda audio Apogee Symphony Desktop e con un Hard Disk, per esempio, ed è perfetto, non sgancia mai....meglio spendere qualcosa in più, ma state tranquilli per l'intera giornata. Ha il suo alimentatore "ingombrante", ma appunto, se funzionale....meglio così.

The OWV Thunderbolt hub is an excellent product. It works out of the box and the throughput speed is as listed. The quality if faultless, the cables are high quality and long enough. I would buy OWC any time - EXCELLENT quality.

Excellent für MacBook, ich nutze ihn um 2 Monitore (4K) native in MacOs zu betreiben mit einem MacBook Air M4 und es funktioniert tadellos!

Works great Plug and go!
