OWC (Other World Computing) just unveiled a couple of products: A brand new and full-sized Thunderbolt 4 Dock, a smaller USB-C Travel Dock and two storage solutions. One of them, the Envoy Pro FX, sports a universal Thunderbolt 4 connection, the other one, called U2 Shuttle, acts as a classic 3.5″ HDD enclosure but with modern NVME M.2 SSDs in it. OWC has been pretty active lately, with the announcement that all of their latest Thunderbolt docks and storage solutions are compatible with modern M1-powered Macs, and now they have four new products coming your way. Their flagship Thunderbolt Dock has been upgraded to support Thunderbolt 4. There’s also a new USB-C travel dock and two new ultra-fast storage solutions. OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock First up is a new dock in town, and it’s equipped with the latest Thunderbolt 4 (40Gb/s). The kicker is that this Thunderbolt 4 dock supports up to three independent daisy chains. So you can connect multiple devices and even disconnect one device in a chain without affecting the other chains. The dock also supports multiple bus-powered storage devices in the chain. A very handy feature in my opinion! Daisy chaining with the OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock.
