Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB data storage devices, today announced the release of the Aegis Thunderbolt™ 4 Docking Station, designed to maximise connectivity, integration and efficiency. The docking station powers multiple peripherals at once and delivers high-speed data transfer through its integrated Thunderbolt™ ports, offering reliability, versatility and security for the flexible workforce.
As businesses continue to embrace flexible work models, hot-desking and shared workspaces are becoming increasingly common. As of October 2024, research suggests that 41% of UK workers engage in remote work at least part of the week, with 28% adopting a hybrid model and 13% working from home full-time. Additionally, 85% of employees working remotely in the UK want a hybrid model, reinforcing the need for technology supporting seamless transitions between locations.
The Apricorn docking station provides a range of connectivity options, with 11 ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps) ports, allowing users to connect and power various devices with ease as well as expanding a single display into multiple screens. The Thunderbolt™ port supports fast file transfers, reducing wait times for large data transfers, reducing downtime and maximising productivity. A single Thunderbolt 4 cable simultaneously delivers instant connectivity and power to any device running Windows® 10 or later, or MacOS® 11 or later via Thunderbolt 3, 4, USB-C, and USB-4 connection ports.
With a compact design and broad functionality, the docking station is ideal for professionals looking to streamline their workspaces while maintaining the flexibility to scale as needed. This new product reflects Apricorn’s focus on providing reliable, high-performance solutions for modern connectivity needs.
“The need for secure, high-speed, and adaptable workstation solutions is greater than ever as enterprises adjust to a more flexible, decentralised workforce,” said Jon Fielding, Managing Director, EMEA, Apricorn. “Apricorn’s Aegis Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station offers users a versatile, high-speed solution that expands the user’s connectivity options and working practice in a small footprint.”
The docking station is designed with Apricorn’s legacy of innovation in mind. It seamlessly complements Apricorn’s portfolio of hardware-encrypted storage solutions, which are trusted by organisations in highly regulated industries including finance, healthcare, and government. The docking station offers enhanced security measures and is equipped with two Kensington™ Security slots to prevent unauthorised removal or theft of the device. When used alongside Apricorn’s secure drives, professionals can maintain strict control over their data, whether in the office or working remotely.
The Aegis Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station is available now and priced at £180.00. For more information, visit https://apricorn.com/aegis-thunderbolt-4-docking-station.
