Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good multi-bay external dock to hold SSDs? Preferably Thunderbolt?
I was thinking it might be better trying to use multiple internal SSDs in an external dock for my work flow and archival purposes?
Any advice or suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
What year model iMac?

I'm asking because your ASC user profile shows that you have an (iMac 27",macOS 10.13)
If so, then your best bet is using a USB Dock and 2.5" SATA SSDs.

You can not use a Thunderbolt 3 Dock with that model and Thunderbolt 2 Docks are very expensive, plus few were ever made..
What you need is one that has USB 3 with a USB-A plug. USB 3 is plenary fast enough for 2.5” SATA SSDs.
FWIW Sabrent and others still have 4 bay USB-A 3..1 Docks that are comparable with your 2013 iMac.
One suggestion: OWC Thunderbolt Hub
Hi yes it's late 2013, 10.13... I think something like that would be best, I was looking at a 4 bay SSD dock where i can just gradually add extra drives when needed?
Good external Thunderbolt SSD dock?
