Plug In

Your Peripherals and Power Your Computer with One Cable
Connect your Thunderbolt devices, monitor(s), USB peripherals, and Ethernet cable to the dock and then link them all to your computer with a single Thunderbolt cable. Got a laptop computer? Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock will even power it with up to 140W of charging power. When it is time to leave, just unplug the Thunderbolt cable, grab your computer, and go.

Thunderbolt 5

Tomorrow’s Performance. Today.
Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock features the connections you expect from a Thunderbolt dock plus the ridiculously fast SSD storage you need. Transform a single cable connection from your computer into three Thunderbolt 5 peripheral ports. With up to 80Gb/s of bi-directional data speed — twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 — and up to 120Gb/s for higher display bandwidth, you'll revolutionize your productivity.

Internal SSD

M.2 NVMe Storage
The built-in M.2 NVMe SSD adds an additional 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB Thunderbolt 5 certified Kingston PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage capacity to your system without the need to connect another device to the Echo dock or the computer. Access data at up to 6100 MB/s — ideal for pro content creation and application storage — and effortlessly store large files, media libraries, or your Time Machine® backups.

Faster

Ethernet Transfers Across Existing Cabling
Featuring 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock supports 2.5Gb/s link speed over common Cat 5e (or better) cabling when used with a compatible Ethernet switch or NAS with 2.5Gb Ethernet support, saving you the cost of another adapter. You can get great performance gains — 250 percent the speed of Gigabit Ethernet — without rewiring! In case you’re connecting to a switch or NAS without 2.5Gb Ethernet support, the Sonnet dock also supports 1Gb/s and 100Mb/s link speeds.

Speedy

10Gbps USB Ports for Bus-powered Devices
Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock features three USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type A ports — one on the front, two on the back— to support super-fast USB NVMe SSDs at up to full speed. And unlike some other docks, the Echo 13 doesn’t skimp on power either — each port provides up to 7.5W, ensuring bus-powered devices will operate without fail.

Thunderbolt Certified for Mac, Windows, ChromeBook, and iPad ProEcho 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock is certified for use with Apple® M series Mac computers; Thunderbolt 3 Intel® Mac computers; Thunderbolt 5 and most Thunderbolt 4 Windows computers; Thunderbolt 5 and 4 Chromebook computers; and M series iPad Pro tablets.
