Easier Offloads

Quickly offload photos and videos from cameras, drones, and audio recording devices with microSD and SD 4.0 UHS-II reader slots instead of using separate external readers.

One for All

Use your existing and the latest gear and machines whether they are Thunderbolt 5/4/3, USB4, or USB-C.¹

Charged and Ready

With up to 140 watts of power, keep your notebook powered and fully charged to be ready for mobile use.

Faster Networking

Vastly improve remote collaborations, cloud services, NAS file transfers, and online gaming with a 2.5x faster connection vs standard Ethernet.²

Greater Visual Clarity

Enhance your efficiency with sharper details by connecting up to three 8K displays.³

Unlock Your Potential with Maximum Bandwidth

The terrific trio of Thunderbolt 5 ports aren’t just there to be an impressive spec. They’re the key to unlocking your full potential by maximizing available bandwidth in both upstream and downstream directions to your devices.

You'll say wow — or something stronger — when you transfer massive media files by connecting two USB4 CFexpress Type B card readers (each delivering up to 3330MB/s read speeds) alongside an OWC Thunderblade X12 or an OWC Envoy Ultra with over 6000MB/s write speeds. A setup like this lets you take advantage of the incredible bandwidth of Thunderbolt 5 and use read and write speeds over 6000MB/s to dramatically reduce backup times from your media cards.

Connect up to three Thunderbolt 8K HDR monitors at 60Hz with DSC (or 30Hz without DSC) on Windows, and up to two Thunderbolt 6K displays on Macs. Now you’ll have the expansive ultra-high-resolution screen real estate you need for detailed work.

Create A Tablet ProStation

While iPad Pros and other tablet computers offer awesome content creation potential, they’re handcuffed by limited internal storage, display size, and often a single Thunderbolt (USB-C) port. Instead of lugging around a bulky notebook or worse, being chained to a non-portable desktop workstation, capture what you need on the fly with a tablet. Back at a desk, transform that tablet into a “prostation” with an external display, keyboard, mouse, and external drive all connected to the OWC Thunderbolt 5 Dock.
