Accessory maker UGREEN has launched two new Thunderbolt 5 docking stations under its Maxidok lineup. The new models, the Maxidok 17-in-1 and Maxidok 10-in-1, offer different levels of connectivity and power depending on how many features users need.
UGREEN 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station
As you might’ve guessed, the more capable of the two is the UGREEN Maxidok 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station. The dock includes 17 ports in total.
One of its more unusual features is a built-in M.2 NVMe SSD expansion slot that supports drives up to 8TB. The slot uses an 80Gbps connection, allowing the dock to double as external storage without needing a separate enclosure.
The dock also includes two Thunderbolt 5 ports with up to 120Gbps bandwidth, along with three USB-A ports and three USB-C ports that support 10Gbps data speeds. For displays, users get two Thunderbolt 5 outputs and a DisplayPort connection, which should make multi-monitor setups easier to manage.
Networking is handled by a 2.5-gigabit Ethernet port, while additional connectivity option includes an SD card reader capable of speeds up to 312Mbps and three 3.5mm audio ports for input and output.
The dock is powered by a 240W power adapter and can deliver up to 140W of power to a connected laptop through its upstream Thunderbolt connection.
UGREEN Maxidock 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station
For users who need something simpler, the UGREEN Maxidok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station offers a smaller set of features. It drops the SSD expansion slot and reduces the total number of ports to ten. The Ethernet connection is also downgraded to standard 1GbE.
The 10-in-1 dock still includes two Thunderbolt 5 ports with the same 120Gbps bandwidth, along with three USB-A ports for peripherals. Power delivery is slightly low as well. The dock supports up to 100W charging to the host device using a 140W power adapter.
Other features include a DisplayPort output, a 3.5mm audio jack, and an SD card reader rated for speeds up to 170MB/s.
Price
As for the price, the Maxidok 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 docking station is available at an early bird price of $389.99. Meanwhile, the Maxidok 10-in-1 model retails for $249.99 in early-bird discount. You can pre-order them from the official site, with the earliest shipping date being March 24.
