Thunderbolt 2 devices and hubs are very popular and now getting much more affordable. Caldigit has a updated version on sale now with a Pre-order. Regularly $199 but until January 25th it’s $169 and it ships on January 26th. Here is the skinny on the new Calgidit Thunderbolt Station 2
The CalDigit Thunderbolt™ Station 2 is the successor to the original Thunderbolt™ Station that brought a new level of connectivity to modern streamlined computers via a single Thunderbolt™ cable. The Thunderbolt™ Station 2’s design combines the original Thunderbolt™ Station’s outstanding functionality with a host of new features to create the ultimate Thunderbolt™ device.
4K All The Way
CalDigit has always been on the cutting-edge, and 4K video is the future of filmmaking. The Thunderbolt™ Station 2 can be integrated as part of a powerful 4K workflow. This includes connecting professional 4K devices for a complete 4K set-up.
Stand-Alone Charging
If you often find yourself turning on your computer to charge your iPhone, iPad, or other USB device, then the Thunderbolt™ Station 2’s front facing USB 3.0 port will come in handy. It features stand-alone charging that will charge devices even when it is not connected to a computer.
Highest Quality Display
Not only can you connect any HDMI monitor to the Thunderbolt™ Station 2, but you have the option of using a 4K HDMI monitor that is 4 times the resolution of HD video. Whether you’re a professional user who needs the very best display, someone who watches movies on their computer, or even a gamer, the Thunderbolt™ Station 2’s HDMI connection provides the very best image quality.
Professional Connections
Professional users need the flexibility of multiple connections. Whether you’re using Thunderbolt™, USB 3.0 or eSATA, the Thunderbolt™ Station 2 offers the best connectivity options available for professional accessories.
Fast & Powerful USB 3.0
We all have countless USB devices that constantly need charging. If you’re connecting iPhones, iPads, hard drives, card readers, or cameras to your computer, you can rest assured that the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports on the Thunderbolt™ Station 2 provide enough power to charge all your devices. Even if your computer does not have USB 3.0 ports, the Thunderbolt™ Station 2 will allow you to take advantage of this flexible interface.
