Western Digital has launched a new Game Dock, the D50. The Game Dock is quickly set up and keeps the cable chaos in order.

With WD’s Game Dock D50, you can connect all the devices you need with just one Thunderbold 3 multi-pin cable. With the high NVMe speed, users have more capacity available for their games.

The connectivity is optimized by the Thunderbolt 3 cable and allows for example the connection of an additional screen. An additional screen with up to 5K resolution and 60 Hz is supported. The user can also connect all other desired peripherals to the Game Dock D50. Whether mouse, headset, keyboard or Ethernet, everything finds its place. The D50’s through charge is 87 watts, so gamers can also supply their laptops with sufficient power.

To get into the game quickly, the Game Dock has a very powerful NVMe memory on board. The read speed is up to 3,000 MB/s and the write speed up to 2,500 MB/s. This ensures that data is transferred quickly and loading times are shortened.
