There are different types of docking stations, depending on the connection interface, the number and types of ports, the power delivery, and the design. Some of the most common types are:
Thunderbolt 3 docking stations: They are compatible with Thunderbolt 3 plug and USB-C devices, but not with USB4 devices. They also offer lower display resolutions (up to 4K), power delivery (up to 100W), and fewer ports (up to 18).
USB Type-C docking stations: These are docking stations that use the USB Type-C plug, which is a reversible connector that supports various protocols, such as USB 3.1, USB 3.2, DisplayPort, HDMI, and Power Delivery. They offer moderate data transfer speeds (up to 10 Gbps), moderate display resolutions (up to 4K), power delivery (up to 100W), and multiple ports (up to 18).
USB 3.0 docking stations: These are docking stations that use the USB 3.0 plug, which is a standard that supports high-speed data transfer (up to 5 Gbps), but not video or power delivery. They usually have a separate power adapter and a video adapter, such as HDMI or VGA. They offer low display resolutions (up to 1080p), power delivery (up to 100W), and multiple ports (up to 18).
