In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

This is a fixed docking station, not a mobile ssd. For those who want to turn a laptop into a computer with a monitor and a configured external drive. Came, plugged in a laptop, use it. Carrying the device with you does not work. At the same time, in terms of speed, it is no better than a mobile Samsung x5 powered by a laptop (tested on testers), but it costs 10k more. Surprisingly, the X5, created back in 2022, has not been surpassed by anyone so far.

Pros
  • Appearance
Cons
  • Bulky power cord. Lack of mobility.

The product is really good, Im glad I bought it.

There are two laptops: MacBook pro m1 and HUAWEI MateBook 13 AMD. I hoped that it would work with MateBook without thunderbolt support - it doesn’t work, it only charges, but this is my jamb, I didn’t read the instructions carefully. It started up with a poppy without problems, the write speed was 2022 MB / s, and the read speed was around 2800 MB / s. Heating seriously worries me, let's see how long he will live.

Pros
  • I was interested in the presence of a built-in disk in the docking station, the presence of 10Gb / s and thunderbolt ports and a detachable cord for connecting to a computer.
Cons
  • Only laptops with thunderbolt support are connected. It gets very hot even in standby mode. The case itself is heated, the power supply practically does not heat up. No setup software for macOS. That is, in no way can you turn off the backlight without having a win laptop with thunderbolt.

Decent hub for compatible laptops

This version of the WD D50 Dock features an incredibly fast NVMe SSD, additional USB 3.0 Thunderbolt ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a 3.5mm audio jack and a DisplayPort connector. It can provide a gaming laptop with the same capabilities as its desktop counterpart. The only downside is that this dock is only compatible with Thunderbolt. It works fine on my Thunderbolt equipped laptop, but is not recognized by Windows at all on my non-Thunderbolt machine. I don't even get the usual Thunderbolt…

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Some issues

High quality TB3 dock with very fast internal SSD

This Western Digital gaming dock is really powerful and is great for storing your games from Steam or the Microsoft Store if you have a Gamepass for PC like mine have. Of course, you need a computer that supports Thunderbolt 3/4 speeds of 40Gb/s to take full advantage of this product. I like that it's external because it can work with laptops or even Macs unlike the ones sold that need to be tower mounted. The dock is small, about the size of a mini PC. The build quality is great, it's made of…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues
