Lenovo 4338 dock (notched power connector) with 170w supply
Posted: Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:28 pm
I have 2 Lenovo 4338 docks with keys, these are the usb 3.0 version with the notched power connector than can take the 90w, 130w, and the 170w adapters on the w520, w530 with the notched ends.

I also one with the esata connector with 170w adapter (great for using with freenas since the esata in it sees the drive on the native controller) or you can passthrough vt-d the sata controller on vmware esx to a vm also and attach 4 drives (2 drives inside the w520/t420, and 1 drive on the laptop esata, 1 drive on the dock esata).
I bought the usb 3.0 version of these and realized I actually prefer the esata version for my type of work. I also have a couple of spare 170w since I prefer the 130w for their smaller size.
$115 shipped in the Con US (1x 4338 dock, 1x 170w adapter, keys included) shipped usps medium flat rate box, will be bubble wrapped.
