—Thunderbolt 5 – Tomorrow’s Performance, Today—
Presenting the Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock — our most powerful and expandable dock ever — featuring superfast SSD internal storage capability and built-in 10GbE networking. Transform a single cable connection from your computer into two Thunderbolt 5 peripheral ports, one NVMe SSD slot, one 10Gb Ethernet port, nine 10 Gbps USB ports, two video output ports, and more! With 80 Gbps of bi-directional data speed — twice as fast as Thunderbolt 4 — and 120 Gbps for higher display bandwidth, you'll revolutionize your productivity.
—Connect Your Peripherals and Power Your Laptop with One Thunderbolt 5 Cable—
Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock links connected Thunderbolt devices, monitor(s), USB peripherals, powered speakers, and Ethernet cable to your computer with a single Thunderbolt 5 cable. Got a laptop? Keep its power adapter in your bag — the SuperDock will power it with 140W of charging power. When it’s time to leave, just unplug the Thunderbolt cable, grab your computer, and go.
—Internal SSD Expansion Slot – Add 8TB of NVMe Storage at up to 3,300 MB/s—
Add up to 8TB of high-speed SSD storage (SSD sold separately) directly inside the dock —no external storage device required. Installation is simple: remove the bottom panel, insert the SSD, and secure the cover. Once installed, access and transfer data at up to 3300 MB/s. Ideal for pro content creation, application storage, large media libraries, and Time Machine backups.
—Integrated HDMI and DP Display Support—
Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock features video output ports for HDMI and DisplayPort displays, enabling you to connect either an up to 8K @60Hz HDMI monitor or a 4K @144Hz DisplayPort monitor.

—Dual Downstream Thunderbolt 5 Ports for Comprehensive Connectivity—
Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock incorporates three Thunderbolt 5 ports. One connects to and powers your computer — ideal for laptops with only one or two Thunderbolt ports, since it handles charging and data through a single connection. The other two support Thunderbolt 5, 4, and 3 devices — as well as USB4 and USB 3 peripherals — and each provides 15W for demanding bus-powered devices. If supported by your computer, you can also connect one, two, or even three additional displays.
—Powerful 10 Gbps USB-A and USB-C Ports—
Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock delivers powerful USB 3 connectivity with four 10 Gbps USB-A ports, and five 10 Gbps USB-C charging ports; all ports support super-fast 10 Gbps USB NVMe SSDs at full speed. The Echo 21 doesn’t skimp on power either. Each port provides 7.5W (or 15W) to ensure that drives with higher peak power requirements mount and operate reliably. An added benefit of the USB-C ports is they support device charging even when the computer is off, asleep, or disconnected.
—Thunderbolt Certified for Mac, Windows, Chromebook, and iPad Pro—
Echo 21 Thunderbolt 5 SuperDock is certified for use with Apple M series Macs; Thunderbolt 3 Intel Macs; Thunderbolt 5 and most Thunderbolt 4 Windows computers; Thunderbolt 5 and 4 Chromebook computers; and M series iPad Pro.
