It doesn't power the macbook pro as well does it? So technically, you'll have two cables, one power and one for the dock, correct?

Use the power supply for the MacBook Pro. Yes, two outlets to power the computer and the Dock. Good luck!

Correct, you still need a Magsafe connector. There is no dock on the market that does this as well other then the Apple Thunderbolt display which is still 2 cables.

you have a moc book power, as usual, and the dock have is own power from another socket, hope it help you...

I purchased my Elegato about a month ago and love it. Yes, you are correct, you will have a power cable and the Elegato cable.

Yes, but just on Mavericks. On snow leopard just thurderbolt and HDMI Works.

No. It does not power the laptop or charge the battery. There are two things to plug in while it is docked, the USB cable to the dock and the power cable for the laptop. So far the device is working perfectly.

I have the 2 port one in my Early 2008 macpro. Just plugged it into the PCI slot and left the power connection empty. Works great.

Yes, one slot will charge any apple product. The other one is for other devices that aren't Apple

The main cable is black. I have the power cord charging 15 iPad Minis so it should work fine with a Mac.

Yes, one's for power, the other for data. Whether you need both depends on your computer. If you have a recent Mac or a PC with a high-power USB port (one that can provide 1100mA at 5V rather than the standard 500mA [USB 1.1/2] or 900mA [USB 3]) then you just need the one data cable. Otherwise, use both.

I've never had to use additional power on a non retina Pro. You'll reap the benefits of USB 3. This is a tidy enclosure!

Yes this adapter will connect your MacBook Pro to an external non Apple monitor. But I am not sure you have two mini display ports on your Mac to connect simultaneously to two monitors.

I have the same MacPro. I purchased the 4 port card and did not need to run the internal power when the hard drives (or other usb devices) were externally powered. I even ran a bus powered drive off of it. Then I read that for bus powered drives it was *recommended* to have the internal power, but I haven't found a good source for that cable (please let me know if you find one). In the end, if you are externally powering, then either will work.

Yes, that's exactly the issue I have. I gave up and just ordered [4 Ports for Mac Pro]Inateck 4 Ports PCI-E to USB 3.0 Expansion Card for Mac Pro (Early 2008 to 2012 Late Version) - Interface USB 3.0 4-Port Express Card Desktop - No Additional Power Connection Needed

There is a Macbook patented connection that I use to charge my Macbookpro laptop (the magnetic 3-prong connector). As far as I know, you can't charge a Macbook with the USB port, but it is useful for charging other electronics. For example, I use it to charge my golf GPS (Callaway Upro). So far, it seems to work well with both accessories. I don't have a retina display, so I don't know if it has the same connection. Good luck!

I own a MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) and it works fine between my MBP and my Yamakasi 2560 x 1440 monitor with Display Port input. I haven't personally tried it with a MacPro, but I don't see why it would not work since we're dealing with the same port standards. Perhaps you can give it a try. If it doesn't work you can return it.

No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.

One USB port but some functions are limited by power of the device. Ie I could use on my MacBook, but couldn't format. Had to format from my iMac.

It comes with a power cord to power the usb devices, but to charge the mac, you have to use your own.

The power brick that comes with the dock is to power the dock. You will still need your MagSafe adapter to power your MBP.

It should do as the Macbook Pro has a spare Mini display port adapter not locked in to the docking station but it is defeating the purpose of a Docking station. It has an HDMI adapter on the back of the docking station which you should leave plugged in to your monitor. I guess if you only have DVI or VGA you would do this....
