Daisy chains are a great way to connect multiple devices to your computer port, however, it's not always easy to disconnect a single device from the chain. With the OWC Thunderbolt Dock, you can create three exclusive tree branch chains of devices connected to a single port without any worry. All you have to do is remove a device from one of the branches and there is no need to disconnect or interrupt any other branch. Even better, you can attach three bus-powered Thunderbolt devices without affecting the others. This makes organising complex device network with OWC Thunderbolt Dock an effortless task!
Plug in Multiple Bus-Powered Thunderbolt Drives
A typical limitation of daisy-chaining external storage devices in the past was that bus powered drives had to be placed last; otherwise, performance of other connected devices would suffer. This also made it virtually impossible to securely connect multiple portable SSDs due to the inherent limits of a Thunderbolt chain containing only one bus-powered device. Fortunately, this is no longer the case with OWC's revolutionary Thunderbolt Dock – users can now enjoy blazing fast speeds without compromising on reliability or number of connected devices! So if you're an avid user of external storage, investing in OWC's Thunderbolt Dock is a great way to get the most out of your storage system.
