Reimagine the Daisy Chain
Daisy chains are perfect for connecting a lot of devices to a single port, but remove any device other than the last one and you're left with the hassle of disconnecting and reconnecting devices. The OWC Thunderbolt Dock lets you create three separate device chains, so you can remove devices from one chain without affecting or disconnecting the others. You can even add three Thunderbolt bus-powered devices.
Support for Multiple Bus-Powered Thunderbolt Drives
In the past, daisy chaining external Thunderbolt storage required you to place it close to the front of the chain to get fast and reliable performance. That wasn't possible with bus-powered drives. They had to be placed last in the Thunderbolt chain as the chain was limited to just one bus-powered device. Now, you can connect multiple portable Thunderbolt drives and SSDs directly to the OWC Thunderbolt Dock to experience the fastest speed your storage device can deliver.
