Beelink Mate Pro dock has already been released in China, and it is a powerful tool of power users. Besides the two USB4 v2 ports, it has four M.2 slots capable of supporting up to 32TB of overall storage. The launch price is CNY 1,059, around $155.
Beelink has introduced a performance oriented dock in China, the Mate Pro dock. The two USB4 v2 ports are the headliner of the expansion accessory. They have 80Gbps transfer rates, and can be daisy-chained together, allowing users to not only connect the dock to an eGPU, but also to a host PC using the other port.
The other important feature of the dock is the four M.2 slots that can accommodate up to 32TB of storage. They are PCIe 4.0 x1, and Beelink reports being able to achieve a read speed of 1,655MB/s and a write speed of 1,586MB/s in the dock.
It supports 96W PD, meaning that the dock can continue to charge the connected host whilst being connected with other peripherals (6-foot 240W Anker Nano cable curr. $16.99 on Amazon). This quick charging feature is supported by an in-built 140W PSU and to start the dock, the connection to the AC source is required.
With that said, the two 80Gbps USB4 ports are not the only I/O that this dock can offer. Besides those, the Mate Pro carries with it the following:
- 1x USB 2.0 Type-A
- 1x USB 3.0 Type-A
- 1x HDMI
- 1x 2.5G LAN
The dock also supports Bluetooth, which is in relation to the inbuilt speaker. Beelink mentions that it has an internal DSP and an amplifier to provide good audio quality when they are in meetings and listening to music. The audio can also be played in the wired mode, but then it is via the connected PC. It also comes with a fan to cool the internals.
Although there is much to be desired in this dock, the cost of launching it is not very high. Beelink has already introduced it in China at a price of CNY 1,059, approximately, $155. Considering that the company has been selling the majority of its products in the international market, the Mate Pro will soon have an international launch.
