20-port SuperDock from Sonnet: Add Tons of Ports to Mac or iPad Pro

I think this is the dock I'm looking for!!

I need a dock for my new MacBook Pro M3 MAX 16". Do you know if this will power that ok and its attached devices?

Great review Benjamin! For $299, it's a pretty darn nice dock. Love that all the USB ports are USB 3.2 Gen 2. I like that the TB charging port is on the back. I don't get it when it's on the front. Ruins the aesthetic. Wish it had 10Gb/s ethernet. But I get the heat issues with that. The speed for the internal NVMe is a bit disappointing. But still fast enough for most but the most demanding uses.

For $299, it should be a great seller.

hello. Do you know the quality or bandwith of RCA output? Which chip is used for the DAC for RCA output?

GREAT REVIEW, earned a subscribe🎉 and I don’t do that easily!❤

Sonnet are the masters of charging a fortune for Thunderbolt devices and scrimping on NVMe bandwidth for no logical reason. There’s no excuse for how slow the NVMe is in this or any other Thunderbolt 3 or 4 device they charge a premium for. It would be perfect for my future usage of moving to Apple Silicon from an Intel Mac Pro if it had the performance of Thunderbolt 3 or 4 enclosures with full 2750MB/s speeds for a 3rd of the price without the extra ports. There’s no way they couldn’t share the bandwidth to manage that either.

This is very cool.

Why would you only put one hdmi port on that thing tho

Too bad it only has one HDMI Port. Would be way better with two Displayports

I would like a stripped down USB only version.

Thakns for the review. It works on Windows devices to

Does it support Dual display on the Apple M chips?

No digital audio out?

No more docks and dongles bring back io!

Dock looks solid for the price point! Not sure how much the NVME port was needed or demanded though - would have been a knock out of the park if they had removed that and instead put in 10GbE over the 2.5.

Same with the audio LINE OUTs. That was almost just putting it there because they could but isn't the best use case you'd see coming across a dock. Most speakers go into their own amp/sub which then has a single line out cable.

All that said - remove the audio and the NVME (maybe replace with additional HDMI or DVI port) - make it 10Gb and it's hands down for $299 a top pro dock.

God I wish I could afford the $200 price tag.
But MAN does it have a lot!

I could see that NVME coming in handy where we like to keep source code in the office… but not sure if I trust people to not think it’s “just a dock” and to borrow mine lol

OK, I'm dumb, but does this have full (or any) functionality on a PC?
I'll take my abuse offline.

this is most reasonable and well thought out port design to date. hence I have ordered one now. rest of the pack is weird with quirks and weird things about them. Caldigit is great but does not have all the day to day ports that this has, already have caldigit one mounted under the table.

I don't understand why most of these docks don't offer the 2.5Gbps PLUS a 10Gbps SFP+ port, for either fiber or RJ45.Give me one less 10Gbps USB port and give me an SFP+ port, please!! And that limited NVMe slot makes this dock super odd and not really a win for anyone at this price… :\ A 2.5Gbps USB adapter costs $25, and the rest you can get from any kind of TB dock. This is a weeeeird product!

Idk man 300 bucks is alot for ports idc how.many, and I use 20 ports on my pc lol and im.saying this

i think this is the quietest 9to5 mac video ever

No DisplayPort is the dealbreaker for me. Especially the fact there is only one hdmi port. Why can't someone make a Pro doc that supports multiple DisplayPort connectors, and the other ports like 2.5/10G ethernet. The OWC TB3 Pro dock is close, but again, only a single monitor connection. Does no one use dual displays that make these docks? TB displays are a fortune, HDMI is limited, whereas DisplayPort is full-featured and supports far better color controls, compared to HDMI.

disappointed by the lack of more hdmi ports

How many watts is the power adapter? We need to know if the hub can power multiple devices at full power simultaneously

What 4tb SSD can you recommend for this dock?

Sad no DisplayPort connections

This would be much better with 4 HDMI ports.

How many monitors can you connect for macbook?

This dock is actually more expensive than the TS4 in Australia. Sonnet need to have a word with their Australian distributers. $768 vs $639 🤔

I wish they made this with a 10gb ethernet

Can this dock allow an m1 air to connect to two thunderbolt 5k monitors ?

Too bad it's not in the same footprint as the Mac mini. Nice to stack it.

no 10g network is already a compromise to an otherwise godtier product :(

Is this Displaylink? So you can do multiple monitors even with MacBook Air?

They could have ran more than 1 lane to the nvme. I wouldn’t consider it for much more than a Time Machine back up. I still don’t understand why docks/enclosures don’t support two independent thunderbolt host ports. I’ve raid 0’ed two tb ssd enclosures and the machine can handle that bandwidth just fine. I was getting mid 5000’S read/write. Given how many ports this dock has, I don’t think 2/2 or 2/3 of the TB ports taken up will be an issue.

This or the Caldigit TS4?

Comparison video?

All I want is a dock that will connect to both of my external monitors every time without having to do the plug and unplug dance for 20 mins when I plug in the main USB-C cable.

How can I connect two LG monitors to this dock?

Just a shame it costs 400€ plus in Europe!!

I stopped listening when you said $299.😂😂❤❤

In a year this $300 item will be replaced by a faster Ethernet port.

The Audio is this video is notably too soft compared to other properly equalized videos. Watch any video before or after this and you'd find yourself adjusting your volume

Specs look great, except for the 2.5 GBE port. Wish it was 10 GBE as in the OWC Thunderbolt 3 Pro Dock that I own. Downside with the OWC dock is it doesn't have as many USB ports.

Why, oh why the glacial M.2? :(

And why no display outs?

Sounds like something awesome to have

I'm interested but why are we keeping USB-A around still? Please let it die! I have to carry both!!

Eh this ain’t it because it does not 10 gigabit Ethernet… all of these manufacturers keep missing this

2.5gb is crap should have 10gbe

can you use one of the thunderbolt ports on the back to plug into additional displays?
