Excellent craftsmanship and performance. The SD card slot connection in all my external docks from various name brands are finicky. I think its an OS or computer hardware issue, this Glyph models seems less finicky. It does get quite warm.

One of the best Thunderbolt 3 docks with NVME SSD storage.

I got this unit on 06/2020 with 2TB NVME SSE pre-installed and so far, the dock works perfectly. It is connected to my computer (2017 MacBook-pro) via Thunderbolt3 using the 85watt USB-C port and to my Photographer Monitor (BenQ SW321C) through the other USB-C port. The computer is able to recognize both devices without problems, the Reading and Writing speeds of the NVME SSD ranges between 1000Mb/s to 1200Mb/s (I don’t know who is the manufacturer of the disk). The Audio and Mic work fine.  The unit is metallic, solid, with a sturdy black, very nice.   The only complaint that I have is that when it is in idle mode (the computer is sleeping) you can notice a mild acute noise (high-frequency buzzing). I have been reading about it and it seems that the noise is generated from the processor's power circuit when is in C3 or deep sleep (clock-stopped or sleep) power state, which is caused by a phenomenon referred to as the Piezoelectric Effect. So, the noise is normal and does not affect the performance, as soon as you turn on the computer or start using the unit the noise disappears. I really recommend this dock and the price is acceptable.

can this dock's m.2 drive function without plugging in the included power supply? also what input voltages does the dock's power supply support?
Asked by: Jake
No, you would need to plugin the dock with the included power supply to access the M.2 drive (which does not come pre-installed).

Sorry to show my ignorance here, but how do I run 2 displays from a single DP port? any cables/adapters provided?
Asked by: Randall
You can daisy chain multiple monitors using only one cable on one DisplayPort 1.2 Output and then one short cable between each DisplayPort 1.2 monitors. On most DisplayPort 1.2 video card, CPU integrated graphics or laptop port you can connect up to 4 monitors running at resolution of 1920 x 1080 or 1920 x 1200 The Maximum number of monitors that you can daisy-chain to one DisplayPort 1.2 MST Is broken down by monitor resolution): Daisy chaining is the act of connecting many monitors using only one cable on one DisplayPort 1.2 Output and then one short cable between each DisplayPort 1.2 monitors.
