Sonnet Technology has introduced the Echo Dock, a new Thunderbolt docking station, which in addition to multiple Thunderbolt / and interface quasi as a transportable Thunderbolt SSD also provides additional fast fixed storage space for a computer - and is thus ideal, for example, for mobile editing via notebook, which always requires a lot of memory. ![]() Sonnet Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock front side
For example, in addition to two Thunderbolt ports (one Thunderbolt port is used to connect to the computer, the other can be used to connect up to 5 additional Thunderbolt devices via series connection ), the new Sonnet Echo dock has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 interfaces each with USB-C and Type-A connectors (with a maximum speed of 10 GB/s), all of which can also be used to charge connected devices. Since many notebooks now only come with a few interfaces, such supplementary ports are often a practical addition. The dock can also be used to connect an external monitor with a resolution of up to 5K, such as the Apple Pro Display XDR, via Thunderbolt or USB-C. The dock gets its power via its own 96W power supply. ![]() Sonnet Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock back panel.

Interestingly, the following clip from Sonnet explains why its docks support Thunderbolt 4 but use Thunderbolt 3 for better performance due to better PCIe connectivity: ![]() deutsche Version dieser Seite: Sonnet Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock für bis zwei NVMe SSDs mit bis zu 16 TB |
