The TU3-DS2 adds two 1080p HD displays to a workstation for a total of up to 3 displays (including the laptop or ultrabook display). Full 5.1 audio channel support is provided to the connected HDMI display and convenient audio headphone ports are located on the front of the docking station. Connect SuperSpeed USB 3.0 storage and flash drives to the two 5 Gbps USB 3.0 ports. Network other USB mouse, keyboards, printers, and scanners to the four USB 2.0 ports.



High performance Gigabit speeds over the network are maintained with the Gigabit Ethernet port. Compatible with Windows and Mac (OS 10.9 only) operating systems, quickly dock your computer by connecting to the TU3-DS2 with the included high speed USB 3.0 cable.

I have a Toshiba Dynadock DVI, for office work, document editing etc. it is good, you won`t feel any laggyness, however for video viewing it is very bad, but mine works with USB 2.0 so it doesn`t have the necessary bandwidth to handle videos.

Since this one is USB 3.0 compatible I think it removes most of the bandwith issues, but it`s only my guess.

video playback would be my minimum level of performance, but fair enough on USB 2.0


the big thing i see, is that people buy these as a dock to use an external screen or projector - and if its too slow for video playback, a lot of uses suddenly get thrown out.
