Dell WD19TB Thunderbolt Docking Station with 180W AC Power Adapter (130W Power Delivery)

I tried one of the small passthrough type docking stations. It had many connections, but glitchy. Once I received this docking station with 130W power delivery, all my problems disappeared.

Well, I hate to bring this information to you, but the attachments to your computer are once again being changed to be very small like the one for your cell phone and there are only 4 of them and a card aperture. So if you have the old popular flat connectors they will not fit with your new $4000 Dell Computer, which is a wonderful product with wonderful support and amazing features to customize to your own taste, but if you are like me, you are inundated with the old flat, long connectors who also need a home, and because of that need you need this docking station. Additionally, the docking station has a place for the Ethernet cable and some other accoutrements, not to mention that with my lap top will completely blackout if it connected for too long to the portable charger, which means that I have to hold down the start button for a count of 25 seconds and then call for Dell service intervention to reconfigure it, one must have a docking station if you want to make sure that you have a full charge all the time, until such time as you want to move it or take it with you elsewhere, because this docking station will meter the charge and not overcharge the computer to forestall the problem in the first place. This is the only Docking Station that can be used with my: Device name DESKTOP-6RVFLFKProcessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHzInstalled RAM 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)Device ID 39DCDF24-C7A7-47D6-94BA-946E0F6CBA25Product ID 00325-81991-28467-AAOEMSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorPen and touch Touch support with 10 touch pointsWhat I said right! So this is a Wonderful Must Have and I have all the plug-ins that I need and much more. If your computer requires this docking station, you won't be disappointed.

In short: wrong product was sent (not a unique case), the product was not new, and the existence of the fan noise (while not that loud) is not to my liking.-----------------1. The model I was sent was not the WD19TB, but the WD19TBS (notice the last character?)this meant that it does not have the Audio Jacks on the front and back as advertised. (a pretty big feature if you ask me)I now see that other people have made that same complaint in this product review section.2. It came to me dirty somehow. Sealed in non-labelled plastic bags, the power brick still managed to be dirty when I opened it and a smudge on the actual Dock. While I wouldn't have minded this product being labelled as Refurbished (or maybe even used and/or returned) this product description has no such detail in it's listing. Now I can't help but doubt the quality of the product.3. Never expected a fan in the item, but it's there and it's louder than I would like. Don't use in a silent environment unless you enjoy the "white noise" of a fan constantly going. I'm using this in my home office so I don't have people talking around me or the white noise generators at work. Sometimes I want it perfectly quiet instead of music playing and the fan is annoying during these times.4. (EDIT) now that I'm using it more for my iPad I'm noticing that the 2nd screen goes dark and resets frequently. Maybe once every 10 minutes. Doesn't stay off for long, but it disrupts my work flow.So stupid. I wish I could give this product 0 stars.

Product arrived quickly and worked excellent.PLEASE NOTE you need to confirm with Dell that this will work with your laptop. Not all Dell laptops support docking stations.

I had a Dell WD15 dock I've used for several years with my 3 year old XPS13. The last 6 months I spent trying to replace the Dell with a Surfacebook 2, a couple HP Spectre X360's, and a couple Surface Pro 7's. But all went back due to my issues with docks and the multimonitor setup I need at my office. None worked with the WD15. I picked up the Surface Dock 2 for the last Surface Pro I tried, and that had its own issues. I had a Wavlink for the HP's, as well as a Belkin thunderbolt 3 dock, both had issues. So I decided to stick for now with my XPS13 and the old dock. But after all that testing, the old dock had issues with the displays being seen... So it was time to replace it.I had hoped this would work just fine with my Dell, and for the most part, it does. The WD15 was rock solid with this, never an issue, but with this new one, I have had a few times I've had to power cycle the dock to get it to work again. Firmware is updated on it, but a few times when I plugged it in, I had no monitors, and a pop up warning on the computer saying that despite being plugged in my laptop wasn't charging because there wasn't enough power. Considering the size and output of the power supply, I found that a bit annoying.But mostly it works, about 95% of the time.There is a slight fan noise once in a while but it's usually lost in the ambient noise of the office space here.One of my favorite parts on it is the USB C power delivery cable, since it's more flexible than just about any other dock I've had. So it bends around and I don't have issues lining things up easily for where my laptop is positioned on the desk. Even the WD15 dock was a much stiffer cable and had to be in a specific spot so the cable would reach correctly where it had to go.I've got one 4k monitor off the display port, and a 27" QHD monitor off the HDMI. And other than a couple random points where they weren't seen at plugin, they seem to be fine.It's a bit pricey compared to the alternatives, but after all the issues I've had messing with docks lately, I just wanted something that would let me use things again and not spend all my time troubleshooting like the Wavlink one I tried.
