Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s SuperDock! But what makes Sonnet’s latest Thunderbolt 4 laptop docking station so super? The superness is not the 19 top-end ports, although these are certainly impressive. It’s not the 2.5 times faster Ethernet connection. And it’s not the backward-compatible Thunderbolt 4 technology, which is certified to the very latest Intel standards.
What makes the Sonnet Echo 20 Thunderbolt 4 SuperDock so super is its built-in M.2 NVMe SSD slot, which means you can add up to 8TB of SSD storage to your system without connecting an external storage device to the dock or computer. But first let’s look at the abundance of ports this dock boasts to connect devices at top speed.
