Question 1

How much charging power (wattage) is available through the usb-a 3.2 10gb/s port?

Accepted Answer

It's roughly 7.5 watts if charging power  for the USB 3.2 port.

Question 2

Hi, does this need to be connected to a power supply or can it run independently without power?

Accepted Answer

Hello. This must be connected with the supplied power supply.

Question 3

Concerned about owc hubs/docks disconnecting/ejecting peripherals while macbook is sleeping. is this a big issue? getting a new m1 14 inch mbpro.

Accepted Answer

Hello. In most cases devices will sleep along with the dock so no improper ejections would occur when the mac goes to sleep.

Question 4

Will this connect m1 13" macbookpro with two apple thunderbolt 2 displays (the only ones for 2016)?

Accepted Answer

No, the M1 chip only supports 1 external monitor. Unless you have the M1 Max, although I’m not sure what versions of the chip were available for the 13”.

Amazon, how has the Q&A system not been fixed or just done away with entirely. 90-95% of answers people provide feature someone saying they don’t know the answer but here’s a guess, don’t know the answer but still confidently provide incorrect or misleading info, or feature people literally just saying they don’t know the answer because for some reason they see the email from Amazon and think they’re being asked a question directly even though 2 seconds of thought would tell you how ridiculous it would be for that to be the case. Oh, and that’s just what happens when someone asks a question that’s actually worth anyone’s time to answer. 90-95% of questions are people asking something that should be incredibly easy for them to figure out themselves through a quick google search or literally just reading the product description they had to scroll past to get to the spot where they could ask their question. 
I’ve said it before, but I was never scared of driving until I started reading the Q&A section. Now all I can think about is how the person doing 75 in their 4-ton tank just 5 feet to my left has probably once asked if the phone case shown in the listing titled “iPhone 14 Pro Max case” will fit their iPhone 14 pro max.
