Product Description
Take control of your workspace. With the Anker USB 3.0 Docking Station, coordination has never been easier: route your peripherals through one device, so you can come and go as you please.
Work at the helm.
The mother of all hubs. Bring your printers, scanners, storage devices, monitors, speakers, routers, keyboards, mice, and webcams together, so that all you have to do is worry about one cable. Turn your laptop into a command center, then, once you're finished, unplug for instant portability. Our promise to you is convenience - how you use it is up to you.
A multitasker's dream.
Add up to two monitors, expanding your control over active applications. High-resolution displays (both HDMI and DVI) will change the way you stream video, surf the web, and manage operation. Perfect for traders, gamers, and business professionals, but adaptable for use in any environment. Don't confine yourself to one screen. Go out and expand your horizons.
Dynamic design.
Not only does this docking station consolidate your devices, it manages their performance, too. A smart chip prioritizes bandwidth usage, so even when running at full capacity, you get smooth, stable connections. With a sturdy, zinc-alloy base stand, the docking station slips easily into any upright space. If one is not available, remove the stand for even tighter, horizontal placement.
Note:
• If you encounter compatibility problems with your current driver, please go to the official Displaylink website to download the latest driver.
• 2.4Ghz wireless devices (keyboards, mice, etc.) may not work around USB 3.0 ports. Try using a USB 2.0 connection.

The finish on the product is flawless and if its like the other Anker products I have, it is durable & easy to clean. It is a hard, durable plastic shell that doesn't flex under pressure/weight versus other flimsy products I have seen from other manufacturers. The actual station is very lite as it is not even a pound w/o the base.
The Stand is exceptional, if you need it, it snaps in easily and stays there without wanting to fall/come out & it is a nice coated, heavy steel, with rubber footings so it isn't prone to tipping or sliding around on the desk. Otherwise the station lays flat and discrete on the desktop. The durable case means you can set decorations or other stuff on it without worrying about hurting the station.
The docking station is easy to install, the drivers from the CD take less than a minute to install and the same with the general USB drivers on the hub. The ports all work flawlessly from what I have used it for so far.
The power cable is just over 4 ft long & plenty enough for even the longest of desks. The head of the power adapter some might complain its big, but its smaller than most other adapters, on a wall plug it still allows for both plugs to be used and is only about 1.5 inches tall that protrudes from the wall so it doesn't catch or keep the desk from being slid up close to the wall. On a outlet strip if the other plug next to it is a small/regular sized plug you are putting in next to the adapter it will fit, otherwise it doesn't allow for other plugs side by side with it. The USB cable to connect to the PC is 3 ft long allowing for the docking station to be hidden on the back of the desk if desired.
This will be the last docking station you will ever need to buy! No need to buy laptop specific docking stations that have to be bought with every new laptop as you replace old ones. I had a dell workstation w/ docking and the docking station was big, clunky to use, and couldn't be connected till after the laptop was plugged in. After I got rid of it and got my new one, I have been just plugging in 3-4 cables every time I am at my workstation, but not anymore thanks to this product which saves time, your laptop connections, and space!
I am overly impressed with how functional, useful, time saving, easy this product is to use, & would definitely recommend this product, especially over manufacturer specific adapters.
The USB Ports are all spread out apart enough you can actually use them unlike some laptops that won't allow bigger USB plugs to be plugged in side by side w/o hitting and being pushed out sideways, the Anker Dock allows the 4 X USB 2.0 to all be used simultaneously together.
Update:
I did some transfer testing (just reads for ease of understanding and not having to wipe 4 flash drives)
I wasn't hooked up to a monitor, but USB 3.0 can transfer 480 MB/s or 4-5 GB/s. The real factor for speed is the laptop specs, especially HD
I have an i7, 750GB HD 7200RPM, 16 GB RAM, ASUS laptop with 1 USB 3.0 port
The breakdown: I used 2 X ADATA 8GB USB 3.0, Generic (Free) USB 2.0, & a SanDisk 8GB USB 2
ASUS ADATA USB 3.0: 63 MB/s
ASUS ADATA USB 2.0: 32-33 MB/s
ASUS SanDisk USB 2.0: 21.5 MB/s
ASUS Generic USB 2.0: 14 MB/s
Anker USB 3.0, ADATA: 63 MB/s
Anker USB 2.0 Port, SanDisk: 22.3 MB/s --Notice the USB 2 is faster when run to the laptop through USB 3.0 (Cause: all about driver/hardware, its why USB 3 did better in the USB 2 port even on the laptop, it can handle/store the data faster than the 2.0 drive can)
Anker USB 3.0, Using both ADATA's in the 3.0 Slots together: 60 MB/s each. 3 MB/s loss each
Anker Same as above + a Generic USB 2.0 run simultaneously: 60 MB/s each & 7 MB/s
Anker 2 x USB 3.0 & SanDisk USB 2.0: 60 MB/s each & 18 MB/s
Anker Using all: 60 MB/s each & SanDisk 17 MB/s & Generic 4 MB/s (Sandisk down 1 MB/s & Generic down 3 MB/s)
Anker USB 3/2, ADATA & Generic: 63 MB/s & 14.5 MB/s (USB 2 is faster through USB 3)
Conclusion: Running all 6 ports might, might slow it down some, but mainly because you reach the limits of a laptops HD transfer capability. Since the display isn't run off the HD running all 6 ports shouldn't matter (I'll test it later by watching a movie and doing read cycles on Drives).
The real limiter of this dock is going to be your laptop/desktop.
The docking station is small and its upright stance takes up little desk real estate. Adding connections to the back of the dock will cause instability of the dock, so I ended up taping down the front and back legs of the stand. This keeps the docking station from falling backward. Laying it down flat increases stability but then adds real estate to the desk. The foot print is too small to support anything above it, so it is more useful standing vertical than horizontal.
Connections (USB, Video, headset) are conveniently located so it's easy to connect peripherals to the dock. There is a charging USB 3.0 connector, at the front, nicely done to charge a smart phone while interconnecting it to the laptop. Everything works well, except that there is a major conflict between the printer and dock. Each time the printer is connected to any of the USB ports, it will crash the dock, thus resulting in a freezing of the system. Removing it won't restore the operation; one has to reboot the computer. We circumvent the problem by connecting the printer directly to one of the local USB ports of the computer. There also seems to be a problem with the local USB port connecting to the upload USB port of the dock. Occasionally, the keyboard and mouse lose their connection to the dock, thus became inactive. Rebooting the system seems to fix the issue, but it's annoying.
I have also tested this dock with the MS SP3, and it's working better than with the Dell Latitude. The SP3 having only one local USB port could really use this dock station. It is a good alternative to the MS Docking station for the SP3, given that I don't have to take the cover of the SP3 out each time I connect it to a docking station. The downside is that I have to get an extra power supply to charge the SP3 since this docking station does not provide that feature. The video uses DisplayLink setup. If anyone plans to use J5Create JUC700 device to do KVM functions, be aware that there is a major conflict here. It will constantly crashes the SP3. This has been documented by J5Create. That said, the JUC700 also has its own set of problems without the use of this dock.
Overall it's a well built device with some minor inconveniences. There is no perfect solution to a universal docking station, and this one comes pretty close to fulfilling all features.
Top reviews from other countries
I have not tested it for video playback speed as of yet and I do not perform graphics-intensive tasks so I cannot comment on tis performance.
I do not have my network wired in either since I am using my wireless connection through my laptop so I cannot comment on network speeds or downloading effects on video performance.
I checked out a few different brands - like Belkin, Plugable, etc - but settled on this Anker docking station mainly because it had the smallest form factor and looked tidier than the others. I have also used other Anker products, and like their quality and reliability. Also, most of these docking stations seem to be based on the open source DisplayLink software, so form factor and reliability were the deciding factors. It was also a bonus that it was the cheapest!
Delivery was absolutely top class - which is what we have come to expect from Amazon - having ordered in the afternoon, it was with me the following morning. A very straight forward installation - just plug in the various gizmos and go. I also downloaded the latest core software from the DisplayLink website and installed on my laptop, which was immediately recognised by the docking station. BTW, I still have Windows 7 on my laptop.
== Monitors ==
This story turned out great! I already had two monitors - An LG E2251 for use with the laptop, and an Asus PB287Q UHD monitor connected to a tower PC that I use for my hobbies. Both monitors had free ports, and I connected the E2251 to the DVI port and the PB287Q monster to the HDMI port of the docking station.
I now have 3 displays in effect - the laptop + the two monitors. The LG E2251 is running at 1920x1080 and the Asus at a very respectable 2048x1152. The Asus can run at 3840x2160 (which is what I use it at with the directly connected tower PC), but DisplayLink put out a message indicating that it had to drop the resolution with two monitors going. But I have absolutely no complaints, as I had the bonus of 3 monitors at pretty high resolutions.
I now work with my email and calendar showing on the LG, my Word and PowerPoint work on the Asus, and odds and bits running on the laptop monitor - just great! The software gives me full flexibility on how the displays are laid out - horizontal, vertical or a combination. The mouse just smoothly moves across the screens.
== Ethernet Port ==
Another success here. I have a gigabit ethernet powerline adapter running from the Sky fibre broadband router downstairs. just connected the the docking station to the adapter and my laptop just automatically joins up the normal wifi and the ethernet connection into one channel. When I unplug the laptop from the docking station, it just continues with the wifi connectivity - smooth!
== USB ports ==
There are two USB3 ports on the front and 4 USB2 ports on the back of the docking station. I connected a wireless keyboard through one of the USB2 ports (I know some reviewers have complained about a lag in keystrokes, but I have had no such issues - may be the latest software has fixed it).
I connected a Jabra conference speakerphone to another USB port for my work meetings using Lync - it works like a dream. I also used an external CD drive (the laptop is a lightweight configuration - so no optical drive - keeps the weight low). No problems with the CD drive, or flash memory sticks!
== Audio Port ==
Just for a good measure (and for lack of better things to do), I connected one of those dinky little speakers that you use with iPads for good audio. That worked well too.
== In conclusion ==
This is the best £89 that I have spent - it tidied up my desk, eliminated repeated swapping of cables, provided a huge working surface in displays, and gave me a greater freedom and flexibility in how I work through the day. And I can use it it with any PC or laptop with USB.
I fully recommend this miracle of modern technology - a very useful one at that and a good investment.
Funktioniert tadellos, Bildschirm wird in Full HD 1920x1080 scharf und ohne erkennbare Verzögerung dargestellt
Kopieren auf externe USB Harddisk problemlos, Scannen ebenfalls. Alles läuft wie bei einem direkten Anschluss der Geräte.
Dier Ausgabe funktioniert problemlos auf Notebook und Monitor (erweiterter Desktop) oder auch nur auf Monitor (habe ich so eingestellt, Deckel des Ultrabooks wird nach dem Einschalten geschlossen).
Dockingstation kann bei laufenden Ultrabook an- und abgesteckt werden. Wenn das Ultrabook eingeschaltet wird, wechselt die Anzeige bei mir mit kurzer Verzögerung auf den Monitor (2 Sekunden), da ich nur den Monitor zur Ausgabe nutze.
Hinweise:
Dockingstation hat keinen Netzschalter
keine Stromversorgung des Notebooks über Dockingstation. Der USB 3.0 Port mit Stromversorgung ist für externe Geräte gedacht). USB Geräte werden aber immer mit Strom versorgt, auch an USB 2.0 Anschlüssen. Es sind daher 2 Anschlüsse am Notebook zur Nutzung notwendig: Stromversorgung + USB 3.0 für Datenverbindung
Farbeinstellung des Monitors nur über Monitormenü möglich, Kalibrierung mittels Windows funktioniert nicht, sollte aber bei neuen Monitoren kein Problem sein.
UNBEDINGT vor der Installation die neuesten Treiber besorgen. Sind bei der Firma Displaylink (s. Google) zu finden (nicht bei Anker).
Angeschlossen sind:
mit HDMI:
Iiyama 24 Zoll Monitor (Auflösung Full HD 1920x1080)
mit USB 2.0 (hinten):
externe USB 2.0 Festplatte von Hitachi mit 500 GB (Schreiben: 30 MB/s ist sehr gut)
Scanner Epson 1500 GT
TV DVB-T Stick mit HD Auflösung
mit 3-fach USB Splitter: Maus+Tastatur (kann also noch ein Gerät anstecken)
mit USB 3.0 (vorne):
externer Samsung 3.0 USB CD/DVD Brenner (Schreiben mit 10MB/s möglich)
mit Gigabyte Netzwerkkabel (hinten):
Buffalo NAS im Netzwerk: Lesen: 30 MB/s
Gesamt: eine empfehlenswerte Dockingstation zu einem günstigen Preis. Nutze mein Ultrabook jetzt wie zuvor mein Standgerät mit allen Peripheriegeräten. Mobile Nutzung nach dem Abstecken von 2 Anschlüssen ist schnell erledigt.
Cons: Setup DVD came with out of date files, had to download numerous updates. Only 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front, more front USB ports would be handy. Three days after setup, docking station failed to read the WD Passport drive connected to the USB 3.0 port (nothing wrong with the WD drive but Win7 asked if I wanted to format the WD drive! Say no or you will lose all your files!). Had to unplug power to docking station and restart docking station before external WD 3.0 USB drive could be read.
