Wavlink is growing the Thunderbolt 5 ecosystem with the launch of BlitZDockM. The latter is a docking station that features high-speed storage directly in the hub. The reason why this feature is important is that users can add their own M.2 SSD inside the dock.
The 15-in-1 hub supports user-installed M.2 SSDs and 8K displays
This makes the whole thing act like a super-fast external drive. The dock will be useful for people who require rapid access to big files or wish to free up storage space on their primary laptops.
