Dell Performance Dock - WD19DCS Docking Station with 240W Power Adapter (Provides 210W Power Delivery; 90W to Non-Dell Systems)

Read all reviews before buying. Dell Needs to fix the issues with their docking stations. I have several docking stations with both personal and work PCs and I am not satisfied that Dell really knows how to design a docking station. Connectivity issues occur randomly and are very frustrating when one needs to use their laptop PC with external devices (Monitors, keyboards, mice, ethernet, disk drives, etc). Powering off/on several times, rebooting, sometimes work, as does updating drivers, etc. The best workaround is to connect the needed device directly to the laptop.. IN SUMMARY, DELL NEEDS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. BUYER BEWARE!

Ordered the WD19DC received the WD19DCS variant without the audio jack, very disappointing... works well everything else considered but minus 2 stars for the blatant false advertisement.

First one didnt work. Replaced it with second one which is still working however, without movement [continuously resting on a desk] the cord from the docking station to the laptop is frayed [black outer coat is broken, and the wires underneath are frayed]. Warranty does not cover this so will have to purchase a different product.

Im using this on a new and a six year old Dell Precsion Mobile Workstation. It works well with the newest and older tech as long as you have the smaller USB port. It makes it easy to switch between my personal and work laptops.

If youre looking for a dainty little dock that fits in your pocket, this dock is not for you! I ordered this for my Dell XPS 17 (9720) after going through 2 other docks (WD19S and D600S) as they were not powerful enough to get fast charge and full running power/performance. I think the WD19S may have worked as far as power goes, but the seller put lies on their description and made me angry enough to return it. This thing has a 210W power supply and 2 USB-C charging cables that are lined up perfectly to plug into my laptop. It appears to be working great so far and there is absolutely no degradation in performance due to lack of power. The power supply is huge, so be prepared if youre concerned about space/clutter. I would definitely recommend this dock if you have a newer gaming/performance laptop. My only issue with it is there are only (2) USB-3 and (1) USB-A connector(s).

These docking stations are the only ones that I could find to support the high end laptops. Power requirements on these higher performance laptops are outside the reach of most. With that you need to be careful and make sure there are no other sources of heat near them as they tend to be warm during use. For the price I would think that they would be a little more resistant to heat. Keep yours in the open and not enclosed. Don’t stack with the power supply, but rather keep them separate and they will work.

Arbitrarily stops working at random times. I’ve had mine for less than 3 months and it suddenly won’t turn on. I checked multiple other devices against the power outlet and confirmed the outlet works fine. The instructions for troubleshooting are not helpful. The product itself is junk.

This uses 2 THICK USBC cables that dont lock into the laptop all that well. Its pretty easy to nudge one and have it come disconnected. You also need about 4-5 inches of space next to the laptop to fit these cables. they do not bend and if you push them its easy to come disconnected. I had to order a second USB dock to attach to this dock to get more ports. Also had to order a USB->3.5mm headphone adapter because this doesnt have 3.5mm output or input. Pros - this can provide a LOT of power and support 3 monitors Cons - Dock is large. Power brick is gigantic. only has 3 usbA ports and 2 USBC ports. Portable is not a word i would use to describe this. My old laptop had a dock that it snapped into and provided power and more ports. I wish this was setup like that and just used the 2 USBC ports to attach. This would also lift the laptop since mine seems to have pretty limited airflow under it. Used on a Dell Precision 5570

Ive had this docking station replaced TWICE. Each unit last six to eight weeks before it begins to fail. Dell cant seem to figure out why this docking station keeps failing when used with my Pecision laptop. The laptop is nine months old and I get an error message during boot up that the docking station is failing. Uggh! I am so sick of this. Do not purchase this unit.

So far this works well with no issues. Grateful to have found it for a relatively cheap price
