Thunderbolt 4 USB Connectivity: Faster Data Transfer Rates for Creative Professionals
Along with these ports also comes the option for Thunderbolt 4 USB connectivity which significantly increases data transfer rates, making it an attractive accessory for photographers, video editors, and anyone who needs to move files between PCs consistently.
According to the story by XDA-Developers, the emergence of a new Surface Dock 3 from Microsoft on eBay has sparked much interest from PC users. Recent images of the device show that the company is giving the traditional Surface Connect port a makeover, opting for Thunderbolt 4 connectivity instead.
Increased Data Transfer Speeds with Thunderbolt 4 Technology
The dock is also rumored to be much slimmer than the current Surface Dock 2 and boasts more USB ports, including USB-A and USB-C on the front. On the rear is an option for an Ethernet port, power input, USB-C, and USB-A.
More importantly, the dock is believed to leverage Thunderbolt 4 technology to enable faster data transfer speeds - a big win for photographers, video editors, and other professionals who need to transfer files frequently.
New Surface Dock to be Released Within the Next Few Weeks

The authenticity of the dock has been confirmed, with writer Zac Bowden of Windows Central mentioning that it will likely be released within the next few weeks.
Considering Microsoft often refreshes devices and accessories during spring or summer, it is plausible that this will be the next Surface Dock to make its way to the market.
