The dock supports dual 4K display each at a 60Hz refresh rate or an 8K display at a 60Hz refresh rate. The front of the dock has another USB-A port, a 3.5mm audio combination, dual USB-C ports (one with 20W of charging power), and UHS-II SD and microSD card readers that can be used simultaneously. A Kensington lock slot is great for use in an office. The back of the dock otherwise has four USB-A (10Gbps), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, USB-C (10Gbps), and dual 3.5mm audio ports in and out. Why not four total TB4 ports? One was sacrificed for a native DisplayPort 1.4 hookup. The 18 total ports are split between the front and the back of the dock, with the host Thunderbolt 4 port and the other two downstream Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back. The TS4 has the most ports of any Thunderbolt 4 dock currently on the market.
It has a rubber pad on the bottom for a vertical orientation, and further rubber feet can be added to the ribbed sides if you'd like to use it horizontally. It follows a similar design as the TS3 Plus, with three solid aluminum pieces held together with four robust screws. I've been using the dock regularly since my CalDigit TS4 review, and I can still say it's the pinnacle of modern docking. You can always put your SuperDrive in "moth balls" and buy a pre-packaged external optical solution like the MacBook Air SuperDrive or Plextor's PX-610U which we will be testing soon.The CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 docking station is a follow-up to the awesome CalDigit TS3 Plus. I noticed MCE Tech offers one with their optical bay kit but I understand it doesn't work with all SuperDrives.

The best alternative to the internal mounting is to install it in a USB enclosure. The one compromise with the dual internal HDD or SSD solution is that it displaces the internal slot load SuperDrive. One terabyte inside your MacBook Pro! And though not as fast as the SSD pair, a striped pair of Momentus 7200.4s more than doubles the overall transfer rate of the fastest single factory drive.įor you mere mortals wanting to replace the factory drive with a single drive that's faster and with more capacity, a single Seagate Momentus 7200.4 is a compelling option. This scenario offers one terabyte when striped.

Plus many of you are looking for added capacity, not just speed. It's not nearly as fast as the SSD dual boot solution but it is the fastest 7K notebook HDD you can buy.

We'll be testing them as soon as they are available.Īn interesting alternative dual boot combo for the MacBook Pro is the Seagate Momentus 7200.4. The good news is that Micron and SanDisk have announced second generation SSDs with capacities up to 256G with read and write speeds to match or exceed the X25-E. And non-Intel SSDs have major stuttering issues in random write mode. There are larger capacity SSDs currently shipping such as the Intel X25-M, but the write speed is an unimpressive 80MB/s per drive. "Test Mule" was a 'late 2008' MacBook Pro 2.8GHz 'unibody' 15" running OS X "Leopard" 10.5.6.ĭual X25-E SSDs using the MaxConnect Optical Bay kit really rock as an extreme boot volume for the MacBook Pro in both small random transfers and large sustained transfers! The bad news is that the X25-Es are expensive and limited to 64G capacity each.
QuickBench 4.04 Extended test is an average of 5 iterations of 20M to 100M block transfers. QuickBench 4.04 Random test is an average of 5 iterations of 4K to 1M block transfers.
