Hi Allan,

Apologies for my delay getting back to you.

As we do not sell the equipment ourselves, our website redirects you to other sites where you can purchase the item.

There's not a whole lot to tell between the different items. I couldn't say for certain whether some of them that specifically say that they do not support MacOS will do so with the correct driver as I haven't tested all configurations, but I would generally avoid those if I had a Mac. I have noticed that it is the devices made by Plugable that tend to list MacOS as not supported. The StarTech one lists MacOS as supported.

The docking station you've said you're very interested in, is again made by Plugable, which means that it's listed as not supporting MacOS - therefore I would recommend a different manufacturer. It's slightly more expensive, but the Dell D3100 is known to support MacOS and I think would be most suitable for your requirements. However, if you wanted to make it a bit more powerful, the Dell D6000 is what I would call the gold standard at the moment.

Hope that's helpful.

Andrew
