Sonnet Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock - 4TB

Das Thunderbolt 5 Dock ist qualitativ super. Es wird im SSD Betrieb nicht warm und arbeitet einwandfrei. Die Daten stimmen annähernd. Wider der Beschreibung lässt sich die SSD aus dem Gehäuse völlig unproblematisch mit einem Kreuzschlitz Schraubendreher demontieren und damit austauschen. Dank eines informativen Videos von YouTube. Ein anderer Mitbewerber hat da optisch ein ähnliches Produkt, welches tatsächlich aus komplett Aluminium gefertigt wurde, und es ist auch tatsächlich nur 200 € billiger, hat aber keine SSD verbaut. Ein dritter Anbieter, der im Gaming Bereich ansässig ist, bietet auch eine Dockingstation beim selben Format an, indem man auch unproblematisch. Eine entsprechende NVMe es ist die einbauen kann. Diese zeigte aber wohlweislich in diversen Foren Grafikprobleme bei angeschlossenen Monitoren… ich habe keinerlei Probleme

I purchased this dock to use with my 2024 16” M4Max MacBook Pro because it had the best combination of Integrated 6000MB/s NVMe Storage (1TB, 2TB, or 4TB), high speed data transfers to other Thunder Bolt 5 devices (and compatibly with TB4 and TB3. It is a full featured Docking Station, with a quiet fan for cooling the SSD. It will charge a laptop at up to 140 watts. The dock was installed in April 2025 and has worked without a problem since. I use it with a 27" Studio monitor and a 32" LG Monitor. It works fine with the MBP 16" screen in the mix as well. I recently installed a second, identical device for an older Intel MBP (TB3) in place of its older dock. This is in preparation for another new MBP to replace the Intel MBP. I anticipate that the upgrade will require swapping the TB3 computer cable for the new TB5 computer and then do the transfer from the old computer to the new one. If you are looking for an excellent high-end dock, this is one to consider!

Excellent product. Now Time machine backup takes only few minutes.

Excellent! Just what I needed for my Mac min M4 Pro! Adding the 4TB of super fast storage is cheaper than buying an comparable external drive or even just the NVMe. As I mentioned, it is incredibly fast. Using Black Magic, the internal storage tested out at 6GB/sec. I partitioned it out into two drives and encrypted one of them. I expect to lose quite a bit of speed from this, but i was still able to get 5800MB/sec throughput. The only other drive I've seen that is this fast is the OWC Envoy Ultra... and it costs twice what this does and doesn't give you all the extra goodies. All of the connections work, at the speed they are advertised. I connected it to my MacBook Pro and then to my LG 5K Monitor, and it worked without a hitch. All expected resolutions were there. It also provided plenty of power to charge my MacBook Pro. Solidly built. I'm not worried about handling it with kid gloves. I love that it gives me 3 additional Thunderbolt ports, and also provides all of the extra ports and connections I need, like the SD card reader and none of the stuff I'd never use. For my use case, this is perfect.

Just received this very expensive dock and the thunderbolt 5 cable was not in the box. Now I have to spend even more money for a cable!!! Send me the cable and I’ll update my review! They sent the cable and all is well👍. The Echo 13 is working wonderfully
