Questions about MultiDock 10G

PostFri Nov 05, 2021 2:50 pm

Hy everyone,
I´m very interested in the MultiDock 10G for my Music Libraries. But I have some questions and I hope you can help me.
I have an iMac 2019, 5K, 27 inch, Big Sur, latest updates.
Which cables do I need to connect the MultiDock? It´s very confusing about all these Usb-C and Thunderbolt things. My Mac has "Thunderbolt 3 (USB‑C)" connections.
And which SSD drive do you use? I plan to use 4 SSDs with 4 TB each.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind Regards Roman

Hi Roman, the interface of the MultiDock is 2 x USB‑C 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s)

According to the manual you have to use a USB-C cable to connect it to your computer. Your Thunderbolt 3 ports are compatible if you are using a USB-C cable (without Thunderbolt 3 capabilities).

According to the manual it seems most SSDs could be used.
Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
