We have reported on RayCue products several times before, as the company offers a wide variety of docking solutions and has now introduces another device in this category. The RayCue 10-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Dock for Mac Studio is designed specifically for Apple’s desktop computer. The compact but powerful mini PC can be put directly on top of the docking solution. It is compatible with various configurations, but prospective buyers should check out the official compatibility list before ordering.
The dock connects to the Mac Studio via Thunderbolt 5, data transfers take place at up to 80 Gbps. The accessory can accommodate two SSDs, which means that up to 16TB of storage can be added to the Mac Studio. Both RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations are supported, as are CFexpress cards with up to 10 Gbps. Furthermore, there are two USB 3.2 Type A ports and a conventional 3.5mm headphone jack.
Monitors and external displays can be hooked up via two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 2.1. The TB5 dock is supplied with up to 45 watts of power via USB PD. The new RayCue docking station can be ordered directly from the manufacturer for $269, deliveries are scheduled to start on September 10. This price applies to the dock itself with a Thunderbolt 5 cable, but an SSD is not included. Alternatively, other RayCue products can be found on Amazon.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
