AKiTiO Thunder2 Dock

As of November 23, 2020, the AKiTiO Thunder2 Dock has been discontinued and this model is no longer being manufactured, sold or maintained.

The AKiTiO Thunder2 Dock was a Thunderbolt 2 dock providing multiple host ports for USB 3.0, eSATA and FireWire 800, as well as a second Thunderbolt 2 port for daisy chaining additional Thunderbolt devices.

As an alternative, for a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 Mac, we recommend using one of our self-powered Thunderbolt 3 docks in combination with the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter from Apple.
