DS018 is an excellent docking station designed for Windows and MacOS users, integrating wide compatibility and powerful functions. The dock is equipped with 13 ports, including Thunderbolt 4 connection, ensuring the diversity of data transmission and device connection. Among them, the USB-C port powered by Thunderbolt 4 supports data transmission speeds of up to 40Gbps, providing users with huge bandwidth advantages, whether it is for high-speed data transmission or video streaming.
In terms of port configuration, DS018 cleverly combines USB-C and USB-A ports to meet the connection needs of different devices. The two USB-A ports in the front support 10Gbps high-speed transmission, while the two USB-A ports in the rear reach 5Gbps, providing users with flexible choices. Such a design can meet the needs of almost every user, unless an HDMI port is specifically needed.
For display expansion, DS018 also performs well. It supports 8K resolution (up to 30 Hz for a single display), and also supports dual-monitor configurations, running at 4K resolution at 60 Hz, providing users with a high-quality visual experience. Although some high-end models such as the TS4 can support 6K resolution in a dual-monitor setup, the performance of the DS018 is still quite standard and practical.
Charging function is also a highlight of the DS018. Through the USB-C cable, it can provide up to 90W of charging power to the laptop, ensuring that the laptop can maintain sufficient power when connected to the dock. At the same time, it can also charge mobile phones or other USB-C devices, although the power is limited to 20W, which is enough to cope with daily charging needs. It is worth noting that these charging functions need to be used with the included GaN charger.
The data transmission capacity of the DS018 is also impressive. Its Thunderbolt 4 port and a series of USB-A and USB-C ports work together to ensure that data is transferred between devices at the fastest speed, whether it is processing large files or multimedia creation. In addition, it supports charging multiple devices at once, ensuring that all technical devices can stay online, greatly improving work efficiency.
In general, DS018 is a docking station that combines high performance, high compatibility and convenience. It is an ideal choice for Windows and MacOS users to improve work efficiency and enjoy digital life.
