Hi
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to add a USB-port hub or a TB3 or TB4 hub on a TB3 Dock and what his/her experience.
I'm using a Caldigit TS3+ Dock and I'm in desperate need of more USB Ports.
I am thinking to use the USB-C or the 2nd TB3 port for adding an unpowered USB-C port hub like the Kensington USB-C 4 port Hub(CH1000) with the hope that it would add 4 more port, however the transfer speed would be about 1GB per port and it would not be able to power energy hungry devices (I think maximum output power per port would be about 900mA ).
Alternative I was thinking the addition of a TB3 or TB4 hub on the second TB3 port of the TS3+ Dock, like the Caldigit Element Hub or the OWC Thunderbolt Hub, but I think that may be more risky not to work, as these hubs are designed to be connected directly to the computer.
If anyone tried any of the above, could he/she kindly share his/her experience?
