Sonnet Echo 15 Thunderbolt dock piles on 15 ports, optical drive, disk bay for $400

Sonnet Echo 15 thunderbolt dock brings all the ports, drives

There are Thunderbolt docks, real and ethereal, and then there’s this beast from Sonnet: the Echo 15. As implied by the name, it’s lavished with 15 ports front and back, including four USB 3.0, two eSATA, two audio in and out, an extra Thunderbolt, GigE and FireWire800 ports. If you’re thinking that’ll finally let you hook up a Blu-ray or hard disk to your laptop, back up a second — Sonnet’s dock has those items built in as well, giving you SATA III-level disk throughput and freeing up your ports for more interesting peripherals. You’ll be able to grab one this summer with a built-in DVD for $399, or configure it to the max with a Blu-ray drive and 2TB HDD for $549 — assuming it avoids any untoward delays.
