AKiTiO NEUH-THSB31AS Thunder Dock
Overview
AKiTiO Thunder Dock
The Thunderboltâ„¢ dock links past, present and future technology to your
computer with just one Thunderboltâ„¢ cable. The Thunder Dock allows you to access
your data on both legacy and future storage drives by providing multiple host
ports for USB 3.0, eSATA and FireWire 800. It also has two Thunderbolt ports for
daisy chaining additional Thunderbolt devices and storage.
Features
- Two Thunderboltâ„¢ ports for lightning fast speeds up to 10Gb/s.
- Daisy chain up to 6 Thunderboltâ„¢ devices.
- Two eSATA host ports (up to 6Gb/s).
- One 7 watt bus-powered FireWire 800 host port.
- Two bus-powered USB 3.0 host ports (supports UASP)
- Durable and rugged aluminum casing.
Linking past, present and future technology
USB 3.0 supporting UASP
The two USB 3.0 ports both support UASP (USB attached SCSI protocol) for
increased performance over USB 3.0 but the same ports can of course also be used
to connect the older USB 2.0 storage drives. Note: The maximum transfer rate for
the USB interface is about 370MB/s.
FireWire with bus-power (7W)
Long a favorite of Mac users but now replaced by Thunderboltâ„¢ and USB 3.0,
the FireWire interface can still be used through the AKiTiO Thunder Dock.
Simply hook up your legacy FireWire drives (bus-powered and self-powered) to the
dock and you can access all your existing data without having to buy new hard
drive enclosures.
eSATA storage (6Gbps)
Not as common as the other interfaces but PC users will be happy to know that
there are also two eSATA ports available to hook up external eSATA drives.
High-Speed I/O Performance
Thunderboltâ„¢ I/O
Thunderboltâ„¢ is a revolutionary connection technology that simultaneously
supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices through a
single, compact port. Thunderboltâ„¢ I/O technology gives you two channels on the
same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. That makes
Thunderboltâ„¢ extremely fast and flexible. In comparison, it is up to 20 times
faster than USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than FireWire 800.
Thunder Dock
One Thunderboltâ„¢ cable to connect them all. Simply connect the dock to your
computer with just one cable and get instant access to all the additional
storage drives that are hooked up to the dock. The lighting fast Thunderboltâ„¢
interface guarantees that you can achieve the best possible data transfer
rates.
Thunderboltâ„¢ Daisy Chain
Storage & Display
The second Thunderboltâ„¢ port allows you to connect up to 5 additional
Thunderboltâ„¢ devices (storage or display) in a daisy chain.
eSATA
Independent eSATA controllers
Two independent eSATA controllers guarantee that the performance doesn't
drop, even when a second eSATA storage device is connected at the same time.
Note: The maximum transfer rate for each eSATA port is about 370MB/s.
USB charger (2.1A)
Recharge mobile phones & tablets
The USB ports can be used to recharge your electronic devices (e.g. iPad or
iPhone) over USB on Mac OS X 10.9.2 or above. Providing up to 2.1A, the AKiTiO
Thunder Dock can even recharge your larger devices such as the iPad. It also
provides power for the Apple Keyboard and the Apple SuperDrive for computers
that do not have a built-in SuperDrive.
