Mac® | Windows® | iPad Pro®

Compatible with all Thunderbolt™ 4 computers, all M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max Macs, all Thunderbolt 3 Mac and Windows computers, and iPad Pro tablets with a Thunderbolt port


Connect Peripherals to Your Computer with One Cable

Plug in your USB peripherals, Thunderbolt™ devices, and a monitor, and then connect them all with a single Thunderbolt cable from the Echo™ Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock to your computer. When it is time to leave, just unplug the Thunderbolt cable, grab your laptop, and go.


Add up to 16TB of SSD Storage Inside!

The Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock features two M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD slots, enabling you to easily install high performance M.2 NVMe SSDs (sold separately) inside. Because installed SSDs interface with the dock’s Thunderbolt controller, they utilize its bandwidth to deliver the performance of a portable Thunderbolt SSD, but are tucked away neatly within the dock.


Fast Single SSD Data Transfers. Great RAID 0 Performance.

Single SSDs installed in the Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock can each achieve sustained data transfers of up to 1500 MB/s. Configured as a RAID 0 set for even greater performance, data transfers up to 3000 MB/s are possible. Start with one SSD, and add any size SSD later without needing to format the first one.


Fan Keeps Everything Cool

The Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock’s temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan with whisper-quiet operation keeps SSDs cool even during peak performance.


Convenient Front Panel Thunderbolt Peripheral Port

The Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock includes two 40Gbps Thunderbolt ports; one for connection to your computer, the other to daisy chain up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices plus a display. The Thunderbolt peripheral port also offers 10Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, meaning you can connect another USB device using the proper cable or adapter. The dock’s Thunderbolt peripheral port provides up to 15W, supporting even the most demanding bus-powered Thunderbolt devices. Daisy-chain Up to 5 Thunderbolt Devices.


Powerful 10Gbps USB Ports

The Echo Dual NVMe Thunderbolt Dock features four versatile USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ports (two Type-C plus two Type A) that support super-fast USB NVMe SSDs at full speed. Each port delivers up to 7.5W to ensure connected bus-powered devices operate without fail, and may be used to charge your iPhone®, iPad®, or other device that charges via USB.
