# UGREEN Revodok Maxidok Thunderbolt 5 Review: 10-in-1 vs 17-in-1, and Which One Your Setup Actually Needs *By James Hills — Updated March 2026* My desk has a dongle problem. Between managing file transfers to my UGREEN iDX 6011 Pro NAS, running a monitor, and keeping my phone and headphones charged, I had accumulated a tangle of adapters that multiplied every time I added a device. The UGREEN Revodok Maxidok line is built to fix exactly that - and after testing the 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 unit that UGREEN sent over for review, I have a clear picture of where each model in this lineup belongs. **How To Buy the UGREEN Revodok Maxidok****Which Maxidok Fits Your Desk - and Your NAS****Article Index** The [UGREEN Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Docking Station](https://us.ugreen.com/products/revodok-maxidok-10-in-1-thunderbolt-5-docking-station-gigabit-ethernet-dual-6k-8k-display) is available directly from UGREEN at the MSRP of $299.99 (currently $249.99 at launch pricing), and you can also find it on [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRLVWT2D?tag=mantr0c-20). The [17-in-1 version](https://us.ugreen.com/products/revodok-maxidok-17-in-1-thunderbolt-5-docking-station-8tb-dual-6k-8k-display) is available from UGREEN's official store at $389.99 launch pricing ($499.99 MSRP), and also on [Amazon.com](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRM8Q873?tag=mantr0c-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1). Both Maxidok docks run Thunderbolt 5 with 120Gbps bandwidth - faster than any dongle in your drawer. The decision comes down to what's on your network and how hard you push it. - The 10-in-1 is the right call for home offices running a capable NAS like the DXP4800 Plus - clean desk, fast transfers, 100W laptop charging, without paying for ports you won't use. - The 17-in-1 justifies its $389.99 price if you're running a high-throughput setup like the iDX 6011 Pro - the 2.5GbE ethernet port removes the bandwidth ceiling that limits the 10-in-1 for serious NAS workflows. - Neither dock includes an HDMI port - if your monitors connect via HDMI, you need an adapter before you buy. - The 17-in-1 adds a built-in M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 slot (up to 8TB), turning the dock into a local storage hub on top of everything else. - At 140W total system power, the 10-in-1 charges your laptop at up to 100W while simultaneously powering connected peripherals - one cord in, everything on. 1.

I hit mine with my current home office setup - the iDX 6011 Pro sitting on the shelf, a monitor that needed its own connection, and a phone and headphones each competing for the remaining ports. UGREEN's pitch with the Revodok Maxidok line is simple: one Thunderbolt 5 cable from the dock to your laptop, and the dock handles everything else. After spending time with the 10-in-1, that pitch holds up.

Front-facing ports include three USB-A 3.2 slots (10Gbps each), SD and microSD card slots rated at 170MB/s, and a single power button that handles both display shutdown and safe device disconnection. The back runs two Thunderbolt 5 downstream ports, one DisplayPort 2.1, Gigabit Ethernet, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and the DC power input. Passive aluminum cooling keeps it silent - no fan, no noise. Under normal working-from-home use I didn't notice any thermal issues. Display output supports dual 6K@60Hz on macOS (macOS 15 or later required) and dual 8K@60Hz on Windows. For anyone running a dual-monitor setup without a dedicated desktop machine, that's real capability. ## Man Gear Pick of the Month September's Pick Amazon (affiliate) ### Kenyon City Grill Portable Stainless Steel Electric Grill Why we picked it: a grill you can actually carry to the campsite, the tailgate or the cabin without borrowing a truck.

That's worth stopping on if your monitors are HDMI-only - which covers a lot of home office setups. A USB-C to HDMI adapter works, and UGREEN makes a good one, but on macOS I ran into resolution issues with a third-party cable. On Windows it was smooth. If you're running DisplayPort or Thunderbolt monitors, this is a non-issue. But if you're dropping $249 on a productivity dock, verify your monitor ports before the order goes in. The other honest gap: three USB-A ports, zero front-facing USB-C. I'd swap one USB-A for a USB-C without hesitation - that's the port most newer peripherals and accessories actually need. ## What the 17-in-1 Adds - and Who Should Pay for It UGREEN's Revodok Maxidok 17-in-1 is the $389.99 flagship, and while I haven't put hands on this one, the spec differences between the two models are specific enough to be worth mapping out. The 17-in-1 steps up to 2.5GbE ethernet, adds an M.2 NVMe PCIe Gen4 slot supporting drives up to 8TB, bumps total system power to 240W, includes additional USB-C ports, and adds active cooling for sustained heavy workloads. It's larger - roughly Mac mini-sized - but for a desk that's running hard all day, those additions matter. 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock Amazon (affiliate) [### UGREEN 17-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock with 120Gbps Speed and 240W Charging](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/go/J8kS4KGNuOgn4-GJ8yOo1Q.1024) [Check Price on Amazon](https://ads.flowmediamarketing.com/go/J8kS4KGNuOgn4-GJ8yOo1Q.1024) Promoted by FlowAds ## Matching the Dock to Your NAS Here's the framework that's been shaping how I think about these two docks since I started using the 10-in-1 in my own setup. The [UGREEN DXP4800 Plus](https://www.mantripping.com/stuff/ugreen-nasync-dxp4800-plus-review.html) is a capable home NAS - handles media streaming, backups, and everyday file access well. The 10-in-1 dock fits that same position. Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE) is fine for that workflow, and you're capped at roughly 125MB/s - plenty for how most home users actually interact with network storage. The [iDX 6011 Pro](https://www.mantripping.com/stuff/ugreens-new-ai-nas-lineup-is-what-power-users-have-been-waiting-for.html) is a different machine - a high-capacity NAS built for serious local storage work. If you're offloading large RAW files or 4K footage from a work session directly to that drive, the 10-in-1's 1GbE port becomes the bottleneck. The 17-in-1's 2.5GbE pushes that ceiling to around 312MB/s. If you're squeezing everything out of the 6011 Pro, the dock should keep up. The 10-in-1 won't. Full iDX 6011 Pro review coming soon. ## The Extra Money Is Worth It For Power Users Needing The Extra 17-in-1 Features For most home office setups - a modern laptop, a DisplayPort monitor, a capable NAS, and a pile of peripherals that need to stop living in a drawer - the Revodok Maxidok 10-in-1 at $249.99 does the job well. One cable, clean desk, 100W laptop charge, fast transfer speeds. The dual TB5 display output is forward-looking for anyone who doesn't want to replace their dock in two years. If you're running a high-throughput storage workflow with the iDX 6011 Pro, or if you want the flexibility of onboard M.2 storage, the $140 step up to the [17-in-1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FRM8Q873?tag=mantr0c-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1) is the right call. Either way, buy a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter before the dock arrives - that's the one cable UGREEN forgot to include.
