Upgrade Considerations
This docking station fully utilizes Thunderbolt 4's 40Gbps bandwidth. However, when driving two 4K@60Hz monitors, most of the bandwidth is consumed by video output, which may reduce USB and storage transfer speeds below theoretical maximums. Also, if your host PC does not support Thunderbolt 4, some features may be limited. Always check your laptop's port specifications before purchasing.
