OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock: Optimized for Thunderbolt Share

The Mobile Professional's Dilemma Solved

While life is full of choices, choosing the right dock to solve diverse needs can seem like an impossibility. Take the lightweight USB-C hub and you’ll lose half your functionality. Carry the full desktop dock plus its massive power brick and you’ll sacrifice comfortable mobility.

You can eliminate that compromise with the Thunderbolt Go Dock. For the first time, you get desktop-class connectivity in a truly portable form factor. Our built-in power supply means one lightweight power cable replaces a heavy adapter, while full 40Gb/s Thunderbolt performance ensures nothing slows down when you're on deadline.

Your Workspace. Your Way. Anywhere.

Whether you're editing video in a client's conference room, presenting from a hotel business center, or setting up a temporary office at an industry event, the Thunderbolt Go Dock transforms any location into your complete workspace.

Connect up to two 4K displays for maximum screen real estate. Plug in your external SSD for fast file access. Connect to wired networks for reliable internet that won't drop during video calls. All while keeping your laptop charged and ready for the next location.

Simply Cleaner & Easier

Having a built-in power supply with your Thunderbolt Go Dock keeps your life simple. With one less power brick in your desktop setup, there’s less clutter for cleaner cable management. When mobile with another dock, if you lost its power brick, you are dead in the water. If you happen to misplace the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s standard and common 2-prong "figure 8" power cord, you likely already have one you can “borrow” from another device or can easily stop in at a local store for a replacement and keep working.

Turn Your Tablet into a Computer

With the Thunderbolt Go Dock, you can turn your tablet into a full computing platform with capabilities that exceed many desktop and notebook computer setups. Now you can transform one port on your tablet into 11 ports so you can read/write SD card media, share files in a blink on a high-speed network, free up your internal storage by offloading to an external drive, and work easier with a larger external display, mouse, and full-sized keyboard. You can even turn your tablet into a desktop video, audio, or podcasting recording and editing setup. The possibilities of how you can use the Thunderbolt Go Dock to redefine your tablet computing experience are nearly limitless.

A Multi-Connectivity Solution for Millions

It’s a hassle trying to figure out or remember what interface your gear and computer has so you can use it all with a dock. Whether you have a Thunderbolt or USB-C Mac, PC, iPad, Chromebook, or Android device, the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s host port utilizes a USB-C connector to give you a multi-connectivity solution for millions of past, present, and future (yes even USB4!) computers and devices.^1,2

A Resolutionary Idea

As a digital nomad, hybrid employee, or creative production pro, you need to be able to expand your notebook’s single display – imagine…TWO 4K displays! - for maximum productivity at a temporary work location. With the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s Thunderbolt technology and HDMI® 2.1 port with full HDR, you can view more detail and make edits easier on up to an 8K display. Edit large format video on one 4K display while previewing the raw playback on a second 4K display. Whatever your workstation display needs, the Thunderbolt Go Dock gives you the vision to go to a higher level.³

Whether your computer or tablet is sporting the latest technology or is a few years loved, the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock gives you multiple options to expand your visual horizons:

Single and Dual Display Support

1. See Apple Studio Display specs for detailed Mac model support.
2. See Apple Pro Display XDR specs for detailed Mac model support.
3. OWC highly recommends that you verify the display support for your specific Mac model:
   • Identify your MacBook Pro model
   • Identify your MacBook Air model
   • Identify your Mac mini model
   • Identify your iMac model
   • Identify your Mac Studio model
   • Identify your Mac Pro model
4. OWC highly recommends that you verify the display support for your specific iPad model:
   • Identify your iPad model
5. OWC recommends that you verify the display support for your PC's Thunderbolt port. Some refresh rates require DisplayPort 1.4 HBR3 and DSC 1.2 support from the display and the host. Not all Thunderbolt ports support DisplayPort 1.4 – some are limited to DisplayPort 1.2, which may reduce refresh rate or resolution support.

2.5x Faster + MDM

Many of today’s computers and tablets either don’t provide a network port (ugh…slow low-quality Wi-Fi) or feature the older 1Gb/s standard. Now you can transfer, copy, and/or edit files and work up to 2.5x faster over wired networks and enjoy increased productivity in an IP-based workflow with the Thunderbolt Go Dock’s 2.5Gb/s Ethernet port. Or, connect to a NAS for faster data access, backup, and 4K video streaming and editing.⁴

With MDM compatibility, OWC Docks make Mobile Device Management a breeze. Remote manage Go Dock empowered workstations across your organization. Other docks without MDM just don’t cut it.

Ingest in a Blink

Another “one less thing to carry” benefit for you is the built-in SD card reader. Video footage and photos are a part of daily life, and the Thunderbolt Go Dock lets you ingest your creative content conveniently fast. You can also use the reader like an external drive and store or backup files at will.

Go Multiple

Transform a single Thunderbolt into dual Thunderbolt ports with the OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock. Take advantage of extra Thunderbolt ports to connect multiple Thunderbolt / USB-C drives, devices and SSDs to experience the fastest speed your devices can deliver. Utilize multiple daisy-chains to connect even more with your Go Dock empowered workflow.

Disconnect In One Click

Safely disconnect multiple drives in a single click. OWC Dock Ejector was designed by OWC hardware and software engineers to ensure all data is written before disconnection, saving time and protecting against data loss. It makes losing your hard-earned work a thing of the past.

Apple SuperDrive Ready

OWC Dock Ejector software also includes a special driver that enables you to use an Apple SuperDrive with the Thunderbolt Go Dock. Just connect the SuperDrive to an open USB-A port on the dock for bus power to watch a DVD movie, listen to music CDs, create a backup disk, and install software.

OWC Thunderbolt Cable Included

OWC Thunderbolt Go Dock comes with a certified 0.7M OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cable. But if your workflow demands a different length to make the connection, OWC Thunderbolt (USB-C) Cables are the perfect choice.

Work with Ultimate Confidence

Active workspaces expose gear to unexpected bumps and shoves. OWC ClingOn custom cable stabilizers (available separately) screw into the OWC Dock or OWC Drive housing to reduce – if not completely eliminate – cable strain on Thunderbolt and USB-C connections so you can work with ultimate confidence even in the highest foot traffic environments.

Innergize Your Workflow with Highest Performance and Reliability

Sanitize

Writes, deletes, and formatting all take their toll on memory cards. Innergize cleans and restores the flash memory performance of OWC memory cards so you can get the best results on every use.

Field Upgrade

When new cameras or firmware updates to existing cameras are introduced, they may not work properly with flash memory cards and drives. Innergize gives OWC memory card users the ability to quickly upgrade their firmware in the field for full compatibility, additional performance enhancements, and bug fixes for optimal reliability.
