Sonnet Echo 13 Thunderbolt 5 SSD Dock - 1TB

TOP!

Das Ding ist gut, eine ganze Menge Anschlüsse. Für mich fehlen ein paar normale USB-Anschlüsse. Auch wird der Laptop permanent geladen. Es wäre schöner, wenn die Ladefunktion ab und zu auch ausgeschaltet würde, ohne dass man die Festplatte entkoppeln muss. Auch ist der Preis sehr üppig. Da gibt es günstigere Alternativen, vielleicht nicht o umfangreich, aber auch gut.

Works exactly as expected, i watched many many reviews on this device and you get exactly what is reviewed. For me it cuts the cost of a thunderbolt 5 ssd that is too expensive

Been a month since using this. My impressions Good - 1. The inbuilt SSD slot . With SSD WD 850Nx 2 TB inside I was able to see 5800 MB/s R/W . Thats faster than the M4 Pro 16 in internal SSD which is ~4200 MB/s 2. Stays warm , but doesn’t get hot even after hours of use 3. No fan noise , barely hear it but it works well 4. Works Seamless through thunderbolt 5 port with 2 Dell Monitors I used with HDMI and display ports 5. Didnt notice any throttling on the NVME SSD inside with 2 Dell displays connected at 60 Hz 6. Daisy chained well with a thunderbolt 3 mini dock. Bad - Quite a few 1. Doesnt work with Thunderbolt 3 of Dell XPS 15 9550 2. Doesnt work with a usbc portable monitor when connected with Windows 11 Lenovo P14s laptop.But the same usb c monitor works through the sonnet dock with Macbook Pro m4. The same monitor also works when directly connected to the usb c of the Lenovo P14s Window laptop, but doesnt work through the Sonnet dock. Contacted Tech support explaining the problem. But Sonnet Tech support was pretty useless , they responded without helping much and their response are too slow. 3. Connections wise the dock could use a extra usb c port at the least and a proper HDMI/Display port since currently 2 thunderbolt ports get used for 2 displays , leaving only one thunderbolt port for any peripherals like a SSD NVME enclosure. If you have more thunderbolt peripherals , good luck. 4. Its plastic , durability of dock outside surface may be a issue for some.

Well I rarely write reviews but this thing is expensive and I wanted to warn everyone about this. I had a problem right out of the box with extremely slow data transfer speed when trying to copy data from an external TB5 SSD drive to the internal SSD drive via a TB5 rated cable. I emailed their "tech" support and after a week and a half, still did not get a reply. If they don't have the confidence in their own product to support it, then it shouldn't be on the market and consumers shouldn't buy it. ABSOLUTE JUNK UPDATE: 12-24-25 This "dock" constantly disconnects from my 2025 M4 Pro Macbook Pro and has caused data loss in its own dock SSD drive. In addition, it disconnects both monitors and forces a cold reboot of the dock to restore. I have emailed tech support 6 times since early November and received zero replies with the exception of this auto replay from the same day, "Thank you for contacting Sonnet Technical Support. I am sorry your device is not working as expected. In order to provide you the best possible support, I will be reaching out to my team for further assistance. We will do our best to have a response for you soon."BE WARNED, you will not be happy with anything this company sells you. Buy something from a reputable company instead. My only regret is not sending this piece of crap back before the return period expired. Hope this prevents others from getting scammed.
