This fantastic thunderbolt dock presented by the Sonnet brand, which they have named as 15-port Echo Thunderbolt dock, It boasts of being one of the most complete to date in relation to the number of connections available.
It should also be noted that Belkin has again delayed the launch of its long-awaited thunderbolt dock, so if we are waiting for it, the Sonnet option becomes even more attractive as a substitute for Belkin's.
This Sonnet dock has Two Thunderbolt ports, four USB 3.0 ports, 3,5 mm audio inputs and outputs on both the front and the rear, two eSATA ports, it also includes two features that are not available in most of its competitors, and they are more space to install 2,5- or 3,5-inch HDD or SSD drives and the option of choosing between a DVD or Blu-ray optical drive.
El 15-port Echo Thunderbolt dock covers any need, includes a choice of DVD ± RW or Blu-ray Disc ™ (BD-ROM / 8x DVD ± RW) drive. If you are a Mac user, you will also find that very handy OS X ® playback software is included with the Blu-ray, which allows you to play Blu-ray movies on your connected computer or monitor.
The fast SATA 6 Gb / s interface supports hard drives at full speed as well as SSDs up to 380 MB / s… Best of all, the drive sits inside the dock, so you don't need to clutter up your desk space with an external hard drive plus the power supply and cable clutter to add more storage capacity. Don't feel like adding a unit yourself? Sonnet also offers you the ability to have the dock equipped with a 2 TB hard drive, available exclusively through the Sonnet online store.
It is now available for reservation in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Prices start from $ 399 for the basic version without optical drive, going from $ 499 with an integrated 2Tb HDD to $ 549 for the version with Bluray and 2Tb HDD. In conclusion, for now I think it is one of the best options that you can opt for if you want or need a thunderbolt dock.
