*Thunderbolt 2/Thunderbolt compatibility requires a certified Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 (mDP) adapter and a Thunderbolt 2 cable (available separately). This configuration provides data transfer at up to 20Gb/s but does not support notebook charging. Both the SD card reader and the micro SD card reader are controlled by the same chipset. This means that only one can be in use at a time. Dual displays require a native Thunderbolt 3 display or the appropriate Thunderbolt 3 adapter. Dual 4K setups will run at different refresh rates depending on which OS and connection types are being utilized. Dual display support, including available resolution and refresh rates, is dependent on host hardware and drivers. Apple silicon M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra Mac models, Apple Intel-based Mac models, and Thunderbolt 4 PCs can support up to two displays at up to 4K @ 60Hz via Thunderbolt. Apple silicon M1 and M2 Mac models can support one external display up to 4K @ 60Hz via Thunderbolt. The following Apple silicon M1 and M2 Mac models support a single display over a Thunderbolt port:
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) - MacBookPro17,1
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, M2, 2022) - Mac14,7
- MacBook Air (M1, 2020) - MacBookAir10,1
- MacBook Air (M2, 2022) - Mac14,2
- Mac mini (M1, 2020) - Macmini9,1 The following Mac models provide only partial support for DisplayPort 1.4, including limiting resolution to 5K or 6K at 60Hz. Please review Apple's display specifications for your specific Mac to determine the maximum supported resolution and color depth:

The rear-facing Thunderbolt (USB-C) port supports USB connectivity up to 10Gb/s. The front-facing USB-C port supports USB connectivity up to 8Gb/s. Connected drives may display the wrong desktop icon and not be ejectable through Dock Ejector when connected over the (2) rear-right-side USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports. OWC Dock Ejector is developed for OWC products. Third party hubs and docks are not supported. Recorded sound input playback will be quiet. Adjusting the input volume in System Preferences does not improve the softness of the recording playback. Connecting the desired input directly into the computer system will improve the recorded sound input. A firmware update is required to use OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock with OWC Innergize software. Please consult the "Innergize for PC: Firmware Update" or "Innergize for PC: Firmware Update" guide for download and installation instructions. SD cards inserted into the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock will not be recognized by Windows Disk Management or applications after being safely removed. Power cycle the entire OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock by disconnecting the power source. This will allow the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock to create a new card session resulting in Windows recognizing the SD card.*
