If you use a dock for your laptop, you know that a great many of them are big and bulky things.  The one that I use regularly is roughly the size of a loaf of bread, which is a lot of desk space.  While it is very useful, I have a list of wants that SABRENT seems to have intercepted.  Their SABRENT Thunderbolt 3 8TB NVMe SSD Docking Station has a ton of storage space, obviously, but it also has just about every sort of port, input, and output you could ask for.  Let’s look at the full list of specs:

  • 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports with a bandwidth of up to 40Gbps.
  • 2 USB 3.2 Type-A ports supporting up to 10Gbps.
  • 1 USB 3.2 Type-C supporting up to 10Gbps.
  • 1 USB 3.0 type A supporting up to 5Gbps and BC1.2 5V@2.4A charge for tablets, cell phones.
  • 1 DisplayPort 1.4 for 8k @ 30Hz, 5K @ 30Hz, and lower resolutions. DisplayPort supports HDR, HDCP2.2, and VESA Adaptive Sync (FreeSync) where available.
  • 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port.
  • 1 Front access 3.5mm audio output.
  • 1 Front access 3.5mm microphone input.
  • 1 SD (UHS-II) card reader with transfer speeds up to 270MB/s.
  • Compatible with PD3.0 and capable of delivering up to 96 watts.

As video file sizes continue to grow, it becomes more difficult to move them around, process the video, and store them.  With 1500 MB/s speeds, and 8TB of storage, that’d be a thing of the past.  Better still, it has an SD Card Reader for your smaller camera, DisplayPort and USB-C for video out.  Best of all, it’s half the size of my current dock, but at 8 times the storage space.

If this sounds like something you’d like for your own workflow, now’s the time — it’s on sale for $748.79 (normally $999.99) — a full 25% off for Prime Day.  Act quickly — the window for that big of a discount is closing!
