 Disappointing performance August 26, 2010
Andrew J. Dicocco (Level Green, PA United States)
Nice idea, nice price, Disappointing performance, at first for a week or two it worked as marketed. As time went on a few weeks or so the video would work but the sound would not. On re-boot the sound would work the video would not, then when they both worked the mouse (USB) stopped working. Tired of re-loading drivers and rebooting lap top to make this work. Ready for the trash.
 Not as good as the Dynadock U July 13, 2010

Used with Sony VAIO F Series running Windows 7 64-bit OS. Although this does mostly what it says it does, the video link to a large Dell monitor was so tenuous, I just resumed plugging it directly into the laptop; we've had the same problem with the U (along with some odd background pixelation), but it has more USP ports. The sleep-charge feature is nice though and I can still route the monitor's built-in USB hub through the Dynadock for more convenient docking. The software is less than feature-rich and not particularly intuitive either. Lastly, the Windows 7 driver needs LOTS of work -- I get freezes, so I can't hook up the wireless mouse and the external drives on the USB hub tend to drop out of sight periodically. Definitely not typical Toshiba -- I've come to expect far more from them. It would be nice if laptop manufacturers went back to just creating port replicator/docking stations for their models instead of making so many models that it's impractical to make a dock for each one.
 Exceeds Expectations May 23, 2010
Scott G. Bassett (Bradenton, FL)
I purchased the Dynadock V to use with my aging Lenovo ThinkPad R61i notebook computer. I wanted the ability to use three monitors (the built-in LCD flanked by external LCD monitors on either side). The ThinkPad, like most notebook PC's, has an external VGA output. That is great for adding one external monitor, but I wanted two. The Dynadock V has its own integrated video card. It is a DVI output, but the Dynadock comes packaged with a DVI to VGA adapter that lets you use older monitors like my decade-old Samsung 570S (an amazing product that still works - I have two that I use daily). The software/driver for the Dynadock installed easily in Windows XP Pro and provides all the necessary adjustments in a simple system tray app, including screen rotation and resolution. I connect a scanner and laser printer through the USB ports on the Dynadock and both work perfectly. At the $[...] Amazon price, this is a superb tech bargain. Read my more detailed review at [...]
 Good Docking Station, but not the one you want May 20, 2010

This dynadock docking station is not likely the one you want. The Universal "U" has all of these features, plus an additional 2 USB ports, including an additional USB Sleep/Power port in the front. I mistkenly ordered this one thinking this was the only version with a vidoe card to run three monitors at the same time. Unfortunately, Amazon's website isn't that clear. But after confirming this with the manufacturer, I chose to purchase the U version. Hope that helps.
Nice and compact, but would be better if it worked May 11, 2010

I purchased this docking station for one of my clients based on the generally positive reviews found at Amazon. After inserting the software CD, I encountered an "installation file not found" error. I tried everything: downloaded the software direct from toshiba.com, browsed the CD and ran the .exe rather than the autorun file, and tried the CD on another PC. The latter was the only thing that worked, which lead me to believe that the issue was with the new laptop rather than the docking station. A quick call to Dell resulted in, "We cannot support third party software or hardware - please call Toshiba for support."
Therein lies the reason for my review: Toshiba Dynadock Support is the WORST SUPPORT EVER! For one, they do not directly support the Dynadock, because they are not the manufacturers of the device. It is a Toshiba branded product only. ** There is no direct phone support for this device. ** When I demanded to speak with someone who could help me set up the device, I was told "We do not directly support the Dynadock. Please give me your contact information, and someone will contact you in 2-3 business days." Unbelievable.
Perhaps this is a great docking station. I wouldn't know. What I do know is I returned the product as soon as I found out that Toshiba doesn't provide immediate, direct support for it. Stand behind your products, Toshiba!
On a side note, I purchased the Targus universal USB docking station (model number ACP51USZ), and it worked beautifully. Installation was a breeze, and a quick call to Targus Support got me to an agent who was able to help me complete the setup.
Just my .02.
