OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock

MacBook Pro M1 Pro Max and Thunderbolt 4 dock. Elgato Cam link 4k appears to be freezing intermittently. Lost netwwork connection. OWC Dock also destoys SanDisk external USB backup disk's file system.

All these component working fine with cheap accesories like Axagon HMC-4G2, Sandberg ethernet to USB-C or directly connected to MacBook Pro.

What's wrong with OWC?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

USB Devices freeze intermittently on Ventura 13.3.1 I'm using a HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2 with a 2021 MacBook Pro on Ventura 13.3.1. I am getting intermittent freezing on all my USB devices connected via the docking station. I have narrowed it down to these error message which consistently appears when the freezing occurs but an unable to decipher it. (See image attached). Specifically the Fault error "AppleUserUSBHostHIDDevice:0x100001e73 Matching has vendor DeviceUsagePage : ff00 bundleIdentifier com.apple.driver.AppleALSColorSensor ioclass AppleSPUVD6287 but transport and vendorID is missing". Can anyone please help?

Macbook M2 Pro Crashes When I Unplug From Dock Every time I unplug my new (less than 3 weeks) M2 MacBook Pro from my thunderbolt dock, it crashes. I get a crash report after it restarts, but there are no particular apps identified as a potential problem. It does not happen when I plug the MacBook into the dock, just when I unplug it. All apps have been updated, along with macOS. My co-worker with an M2 Max MacBook does not have this issue, and he uses the same dock (he actually gave me his when this problem started thinking that was the issue).

Kernel panic when reconnecting to OWC Thunderbolt dock Hi there, I'm trying to understand / resolve a frustrating, but occasional issue with my 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro M1 Max running 13.6 and an old (6 years) OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock. It seems to have something to do with when the Mac restarts whilst connected to the dock, or wakes from sleep as a result of being reconnected to the dock. It doesn't happen if I sleep the laptop whilst it's connected to the dock, disconnect it from the dock, and later reconnect it to the dock without it waking from sleep whilst it's disconnected. Basically a minute or two after restarting or waking from sleep, everything freezes, both of my external monitors blink magenta briefly before going black and then it restarts. If I let it restart, everything is fine if I leave it at the login screen ... but then if I log in, a minute or so later it will crash again. The work-around I have discovered is to disconnect it from the dock, let it restart / wake from sleep, use it for a few minutes, then plug it back into the dock ... and then it will run fine! It's like some process needs to happen first without the laptop being connected to the dock (or else it will crash), and then it can be re-connected safely ... Any ideas how to track down the cause of this? Where can I extract the crash logs so I can share them on here? Many thanks for your help 😊 David

Contact OWC tech support for assistance as they have great tech support in my experience. They are the experts on the OWC products they sell and may be aware of possible compatibility issues or will confirm a faulty dock (perhaps they may even have a firmware update available for it).
