Design and workmanship
The Revodok Max 213 features a simple, functional design. There are no flashy LEDs or playful elements, allowing the dock to blend discreetly into the workspace.
Measuring 148,5 × 96,2 × 52 mm, it's clearly designed for a permanent spot on a desk and not for a laptop bag. The casing appears solidly built, and its weight ensures the station remains stable when connecting cables. It does not include a fan.
variety of connections
The 13 ports are logically arranged. Components that are frequently changed are located at the front. Permanently connected components are hidden at the back.
Front connections
- 1x USB-C 3.2 (10 Gbit/s, up to 20 W)
- 2x USB-A 3.2 (10 Gbit/s)
- SD card reader (UHS-II)
- microSD card reader (UHS-II)
- 3,5 mm jack (headset combination connection)
back
- 1x Thunderbolt 4 upstream (host)
- 2x Thunderbolt 4 downstream
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4
- 2x USB-A 3.0 (5 Gbit/s)
- 1x 2,5 GbE LAN
- Power connection (180 W GaN power supply)
The separation ensures clean cable management. Monitors, LAN and power remain permanently connected, while front ports can be used flexibly.
Practice operation with multiple devices
The Revodok Max 213 supports one monitor up to 8K at 30 Hz or two displays up to 4K at 60 Hz. The actual possible configuration depends on the specific notebook and its graphics chip.
Setup requires no additional software. Simply plug it in, connect your devices, and the dock is ready to use. Our test setup included a typical desktop configuration with two 4K monitors at 60 Hz, an external NVMe SSD, a 2,5 GbE network connection, and a keyboard, mouse, and headset connected via USB. Simultaneously, the notebook was being charged via the dock.
The system remained stable during operation. The monitors functioned without flickering or connection interruptions, even during simultaneous file transfers. An external NVMe SSD achieved approximately 1.000 MB/s read and 900 MB/s write speeds via the 10 Gbps USB ports.
The 2,5 GbE LAN port enables significantly higher transfer rates than classic Gigabit connections. In our tests, transfer speeds in the local network exceeded 2 Gbps, which is clearly noticeable when copying large files from a NAS.
The UHS-II card readers also deliver solid performance. In our tests, read speeds were around 220 to 230 MB/s, and write speeds were approximately 190 MB/s. Large RAW image sequences or video files can therefore be imported significantly faster than with older UHS-I readers.
In everyday use, the dock operates unobtrusively. Devices are recognized instantly, displays initialize reliably, and performance remains constant even under sustained load. The aluminum housing gets warm, but operates completely silently.
