The flagship UGREEN Maxidok 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock is a monster, packing 17 ports into a single unit covering data, video, networking, storage, and charging. It supports bandwidth up to 120Gbps and includes a built-in M.2 SSD slot supporting drives up to 8TB, meaning you can open and edit large video files directly without the usual external drive shuffle. Power delivery sits at 140W to the host laptop via a 240W adapter, with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and three 3.5mm audio ports rounding out the spec sheet.
On the video front, the 17-in-1 supports a single 8K display at 60Hz or dual 6K monitors at 60Hz on macOS. That’s a proper multi-monitor setup without needing additional adapters or daisy-chaining.
The UGREEN Maxidok 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock carries an RRP of £419.99, but early bird pricing brings it down to £356.99 until March 24. For context, the CalDigit TS5 Plus with similar port count and M.2 expansion runs £469, while Sonnet’s Echo 13 with built-in SSD storage starts north of £700. UGREEN’s pricing positions the 17-in-1 as a more accessible entry point into serious TB5 territory.
For those who don’t need quite so many ports, the UGREEN Maxidok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock offers a streamlined alternative. It packs dual Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and the same 8K/dual 6K display capabilities, with 100W power delivery to the host. There’s no M.2 slot on this model, but at £199.99 during the early bird period (RRP £249.99) it undercuts most certified TB5 docks on the market.
Mac Mini M4 owners get a dedicated option with the UGREEN Maxidok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Mac Mini Dock, engineered to sit flush beneath Apple’s compact desktop while maintaining airflow. It supports native dual extended displays on macOS without third-party drivers, and unlike the standard 10-in-1, this one does include in the same M.2 SSD expansion as the flagship. Early bird pricing sits at £254.99 (RRP £299.99), though this model ships later in April rather than March 24 with its siblings.
All three docks carry official Thunderbolt 5 certification, though whether you actually need TB5 right now is another question as adoption remains slow. For Mac users with M4 Pro or M4 Max machines however, or anyone building a workstation they want to last, it’s the obvious future-proofing play.
