Plugable USB 3.0 Universal Docking Station for Windows, macOS, ChromeOS (Dual HDMI Monitors or DVI/VGA, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 6 USB Ports)

Initial impression: very good! First, the Quick Start Guide is well written and clear. It has multiple languages and the English is very clear. The needed driver is easy to find and installed on a Win 11 laptop without a hitch. No further configuration was needed; it was plug-and-play after that!I used the wired Ethernet port and immediately had a gigabit connection. I ran a Speed Test and got 580 Mb/s down and 22.1 Mb/s up. (I'm only paying for 400Mb service!) I attached the mouse to the Plugable UD-3900H and saw no latency. I connected two displays and had 3 desktops running simultaneously and all smooth (native laptop display, large screen TV via HDMI and another desktop monitor via HDMI (using the supplied DVI to HDMI convertor).This will be used at church for multimedia displays on Sunday. I will report on the analog audio then. I saw some reviews that had device failures after a few months. I will post again when we have some use on the Plugable dock.01JUN2025: First follow up. We did try the analog audio; it works well and is clear. No delay. We moved to a USB2 connection to the Mackie ProFX12 audio mixing panel. Bidirectional, digital audio works without delay. (Mackie note: Use the Loud driver, version 6.62! If you use the older ver 6.58, you will not get bidirectional, digital audio. This is a Mackie issue, not Pluggable.) Also, for a three-display setup, you will need to fiddle with the Windows>Settings>System>Display configuration to get the desktop layout you like. Fortunately, this is a one-time hassle and the Pluggable connections are stable and repeatable after a new power-up of Windows.

Worked great for a few months, then I moved to Denmark, and it stopped working. Pluggable sent a new one to me in Denmark at no charge! I was thrilled with their customer focus. Thank you!

I had a heckuva time finding a docking station that worked with a laptop without a USB-C display port. This one works flawlessly on my USB-C data port. I have one monitor and two USB 3.0 external drives hooked up to it. They all work great! I really didn’t know my inexpensive HP laptop did not have a USB-C display port until I tried a docking station designed for a display port. But I put that dock on my wife’s HP Chromebook, which has a display port.

A universal docking station will never be as good as a manufacturer's docking station for several reasons.That being said, for a universal docking station that will work regardless of brand, it is still pretty handy.This is a solid 4 to 4.5 star product despite the list of minor cons below.Will update below review if any problems arise later.PROS:+ Cost. Brand specific docks can be 2 to 3 times the cost of this dock.+ Slim. It looks like this comes in vertical and horizontal models (I chose horizontal)+ Easy to set up if you're technically savvy in any capacity+ Use with any number of devices in your home at a single station, which is exactly what mine is being used for (Home dual monitor work station which now can have work and home laptops swapped out.)CONS: (these are minor, but could be a major inconvenience depending on your scenario)- Requires driver installation (which isn't listed in the instructions) but is easy enough to locate from their website.- **Oversight: you MUST have administrative rights on the device. Normally this isn't an issue unless, for example, you are issued a laptop for work but must contact your IT department to allow the drivers to be installed locally. I purchased this for my wife who ran into the same issue, and luckily their policy allowed them to install the drivers on her completely locked down machine.- Can't charge laptop through the dock.- Laptop requires independent power, it's one more power cord to have to route and cause clutter.- Can't power on from dock if laptop is shutdown (have to open, power on, shut lid which can cause additional wear and tear)- Because it isn't a manufacturer dock, it takes up a little more room since it's not designed for the device to nestle in/on the dock.- USB to device connector (USB 3.0 and Type C to laptop) is really short and may limit where you can place your dock VS where the port(s) are on your laptop, though you can always buy longer cables to replace the provided ones.- Even with the provided adapters you may still find yourself not able to use one of your monitors without additional adapters (Specifically Display Port). The best monitor solution you could hope for is if both of your monitors have HDMI and DVI options so you can plug directly into the dock without the need for adapters (included or not).

Makes my life so much easier! I can now plug all of my devices in for my work from home set up!

I added a 2nd monitor and needed an easy to use plug and play. It was easy to set up and does not take up much space on my small desk.

Works amazing! I had an issue with one of the monitor adapters that came with the dock. The screen that was attached to the DVI to HDMI adaptor was flickering and I confirmed the problem was the adaptor by connecting a different monitor. Contacted Pluggable by email and they sent out a replacement adapter (actually they sent 2!) right away and it works perfectly now. They were quick to respond and quick to send the replacement. Would highly recommend this dock if you need multiple monitors and don’t have the USB-C display port on your laptop.

Just bought a Plugable 3900H docking station. I stuggled for 2 weeks trying to buy and install the right Thunderbolt dock, only to find out that my laptop (Pavilion) is not compatible.First, the pre-purchase technical support that I got (from Sam) at Plugable was prompt, thorough, and accurate. He understood what equipment I have and what I was trying to do. Then he recommended the right product, which I ordered and received in 1 day - at a very fair price. The installation instructions and the downloads were clear and doable, even for me. The system now works exactly as I had hoped.
