Which mini PCs it fits

The dock connects to the computer over Thunderbolt 5, so the machine needs a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. The ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro, ASUS NUC 14 Performance and Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max) connect through a USB-C port, but run at 40 Gbps on their USB4 port, not 80.

The Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5, MINISFORUM MS-A2 and ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro do not fit, because none has a USB4 or Thunderbolt port. We have not confirmed it fits the MINISFORUM AtomMan G1 Pro or MSI MAX Edge AI+, because details of their USB4 ports are missing.

Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.co.uk, from the specifications we hold for each machine.

Before you buy

Three of the machines we name run the dock at 40 Gbps, not 80, so it does not reach 80 Gbps there. A mini PC without a USB4 or Thunderbolt port cannot use it. Sonnet does not state the internal slot's M.2 size or drive speed, so check before you buy a drive for it.

Common questions

Does the Echo 13 work with a USB4 mini PC?

Yes, with a caveat on the machines we name: the ACEMAGIC AM08 Pro, ASUS NUC 14 Performance and Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max) connect through USB-C but run at 40 Gbps, not 80.

What if my mini PC has no Thunderbolt or USB4 port?

Then it does not fit. The Lenovo ThinkCentre M75q Gen 5, MINISFORUM MS-A2 and ACEMAGIC AM06 Pro lack a USB4 or Thunderbolt port, which this dock needs.

What network and storage connections does it add?

It adds a 2.5GbE port and an internal M.2 NVMe SSD slot, plus UHS-II SD and microSD readers, all through the single Thunderbolt 5 connection to the computer.
