The powerful productivity of the Apple ecosystem is inseparable from it, but if you want to use it more conveniently, you have to buy some additional accessories. ORICO has recently launched a series of expansion accessories for iPhone, iPad, MacBook and other Apple family bucket products. So, how about Orrick Extension Accessories?Which ones are worth buying?Is the Orrick docking station worth getting?I recommend a few accessories that are worth starting for, which you can use as a reference.
At present, many models of laptops are often equipped with only a few interfaces in order to pursue thinness and lightness, just like the 15-inch MacBook Pro in use, the Thunderbolt three interfaces are quite powerful, and the number of 4 interfaces is also reasonable, but they are all Type-C interfaces, which are still more troublesome in daily work. To use it with a Thunderbolt interface, of course, it is best to choose a docking station that supports Thunderbolt, which is the Orico TB3-S4 Thunderbolt 3 docking station recommended here.
The docking station has a vertical design and is positioned for desktop use. The vertical design provides more interfaces and functionality while further reducing the footprint, measuring just 100 to 60mm, making it easy to place anywhere on the table.
The docking station is equipped with Intel's officially certified Thunderbolt 3 chip, and the front and rear are covered with interfaces. The back of the fuselage is dp1 from top to bottom4** interface, Thunderbolt 360W interface, Thunderbolt 315W interface, USB2The 0 interface, optical fiber interface, Gigabit Ethernet port and DC power supply interface are mostly fixed functions that will not be easily plugged and unplugged, and they are suitable for the back.
The front from top to bottom is the indicator light, 35mm headphone jack, SD card and TF card reader, two Type-CUSB32Gen2 interface, one USB-A USB32Gen2 interface, one USB32Gen1 interface and a USB20 interface. Most of these ports need to be plugged and unplugged frequently, and external removable storage devices are more convenient to use on the front.
The two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces on the back, one 65W and one 15W, there is no difference between them in data transmission, the main thing is power supply. The 65W Thunderbolt 3 connector above can be directly connected to the MacBook Pro, which can be used to charge the MacBook Pro in reverse while realizing data transmission and other functions, without the need to plug in a separate power cableThe Thunderbolt connector below can be used to expand the display, and of course it also supports Thunderbolt daisy-chaining technology.
However, when choosing cables, it should be noted that although they are all cables with Type-C to Type-C interfaces, in order to achieve fast charging, you must choose cables that support high current and high power. The thinner cables that come with common devices only support low-current charging, and the transmission speed is also very slow. It is paired with an ORICOC2CZ 100-watt flash charging cable, which supports up to 100W output power, which is suitable for charging MacBook Pro.
This wire is made of special soft wire, which is tough and strong, resistant to bending and not tangling, and comes with a cowhide cord tie for easy storage. The cable is also long enough to be used to connect to a docking station. This flash charging cable has a built-in E-marker chip, which can intelligently adjust the current, and use it to charge high-power notebook devices such as MacBook Pro more stably. The joint is reinforced and anti-folding, and a circular groove is also designed, so that the fingers will be naturally put on it when used, which is more comfortable and safer to plug and unplug.
This docking station does not only support MacBook, as long as the device equipped with the Thunderbolt interface, it can be used to achieve Thunderbolt technology expansion, such as M1 iPad Pro, Surface Pro8, etc. Connect the iPad Pro through this docking station, and connect the monitor through the PD** interface, you can easily realize the expansion of the stage in front of the stage in 4K resolution. Plug in the mouse and the iPad Pro becomes a computer.
The shell of the docking station is made of one-piece aluminum alloy, and the surface has been treated by oxidation process, which looks very well with Apple devices. The elevated base allows for faster air circulation and faster heat dissipation.
The theoretical transmission rate of the Thunderbolt 3 interface has reached 40Gbps, which is capable of transmitting 25G of data. It's a pity that there are too few portable hard drives that support Thunderbolt™ technology at present, and they are also super expensive. However, USB3 is currently supported2 Gen1 and Gen2 also have more mobile storage devices, and the speed is enough, but it has also dropped a lot.
To expand storage space, you can consider the ORICO UFSD-I flash drive. The product adopts an alloy shell, which is strong and wear-resistant, and a lanyard is provided at the bottom, which is more resistant to loss when you take it in your hand.
This flash drive supports USB3The 2Gen1 protocol, which can reach a transfer rate of up to 5Gbps, is ideal for quickly exchanging files in a fast-paced job.
It also has a Type-C port to choose from, which is more practical, after all, more and more notebooks are currently equipped with only C ports. Connect to MacBook Pro, Surface Pro, iPad Pro and other devices, and you can use them directly without the need for a docking station.
Let's test its transfer speed again. Plug in your MacBook Pro with a read speed of 267MB S and a write speed of 191MB S.
Tested it again on the Orico Thunderbolt 3 docking station, and the read speed was 2622mb s with a write speed of 2042mb s, very stable.
Plug in the Surface Pro 8 speed test, and the read speed is 41976mb s, write is 29646mb s, very good results.
Let's take a look at the stability of continuous reads and writes. In win11, set 1The 45G file was copied from the hard drive to the OricouFSD-i flash drive, and the result was a steady write speed of about 300MB s.
Transmission 22The large files of 4G are also very stable, and the read speed is stable at about 360MB s, which is faster, more convenient and safer.
The desktop motherboard supports USB32 Gen2 interface, and then connect the UFSD-i flash USB flash drive to the desktop to test the speed. Another very useful tool is needed here, and that is his OM3U4 ramp splitter (docking station). After all, there are not many USB ports on desktops, and the host is placed under the table, and it is really troublesome to bend down and bow your head every time you use it, so it is still very necessary to configure a convenient splitter.
The appearance of this ORIC OM3U4 bevel splitter is very eye-catching, with a water drop shape on the side, and a 34° bevel angle between the front and the tabletop, which is ergonomic and easy to plug and unplug. Its shell is also made of all-metal, which is full of texture.
The front of the splitter is equipped with four USB-A ports, all of which support USB32 Gen2, the maximum transfer rate can reach 10Gbps. The connection port with the computer is located on the right side of the splitter, and there is an independent Type-C power supply interface on the left side, and the external power supply can provide up to 65W output, so it can also be used as a charger.
The device comes with a C-mount cable and a C-to-A adapter, which can be adapted to any device, such as Macbook, iPad, Windows notebook, desktop computer, etc. However, this cable is too short, it is okay to use it with a laptop or tablet, if you want to connect a desktop computer with a little farther distance, it is recommended to use the aforementioned oricoc2cz 100-watt flash charging cable, and the transmission rate will not be affected.
Connect the UFSD-i flash USB flash drive to the inclined splitter through the adapter and connect it to the computer for speed measurement. As SSD benchmark score, the read speed reached 39799MB s, and the write speed is up to 33452mb s, stable.
The bevel splitter is better with the iPad Pro, and after upgrading the iPad OS16 system, the productivity is more powerful, and the file management ability is infinitely close to that of a laptop. This bevel splitter is small in size, easy to carry, and supports USB32 Gen2, which can give full play to the advantages of the Thunderbolt 3 interface.
For Apple devices, 30W fast charging is basically enough, but Apple's official 30W charger is priced at as high as 328 yuan, considering the cost performance, it is more recommended to ORICO's M30C 30W GaN fast charging kit, **Only the official 1 3 is less, and the size is smaller, and there are more interfaces.
The charging head adopts GaN nitride technology, and the size of the three measurements is only 32 39 40mm. Random cord is provided, you can choose Type-C to Lightning or Type-C to Type-C two interfaces, suitable for iPhone, AirPods Pro, iPad Pro and Android devices.
I have already bought a C2CZ 100-watt flash charging cable, so the charging kit chooses a lightning cable to charge the iPhone. The charging head also supports PD30、qc4.0、fcp、bc1.2 and other protocol specifications, with a very wide range of applications.
The charging head uses a silver and black contrasting design, an industrial style shape, and the side and cable connector are also designed with ring grooves to facilitate finger insertion and unplugging.
The charging head is equipped with two output interfaces, one USB-A and one Type-C, which can meet the charging needs of two devices at the same time.
The above recommended Orrico expansion accessories are very practical, not only can further improve the productivity of Apple devices, but also work well with other brands of equipment, such as Thunderbolt 3 docking station and Surface Pro 8, bevel splitter and desktop, can expand more use scenarios, and the cost performance is also very high, highly recommended. 100 help plan
