This omission is surprising given the market for Thunderbolt docks has to be mostly Macs. My only nitpick is that the audio jack, while conveniently located in the front, does not support my headset's remote and mic. The issue might be a greater inconvenience for those using desktops. The issue has been rare and isn't a problem for me as I use a MacBook which can be waked via it's own trackpad or keyboard.

I have not had any overheating issues, but have had a few instances where peripherals connected TB 2 didn't wake my Mac. I particularly love how the dock's eSATA effectively ensures that my time machine drive will be available anytime I am at my desk. Video, ethernet, USB all work as one would think. The TB 2 has mostly met all my expectations.


The main reasons I wanted a dock were for convenience and to reduce clutter. I have the Caldigit Thunderbolt Station 2 (TB 2) and have been using its HDMI, ethernet, USB, Audio, and eSATA capabilities since February.
