Kingston Workflow Station
A dock for creative types
$129.99 From Kingston Technology, kingston.com
Features USB–C port, 1x USB reader
Kingston’s new Workflow Station is a specialized dock for creative users who have large amounts of photos or video stored on SD memory cards. It connects to your Mac via a USB–C port, but also requires its own wall power supply, so it’s primarily designed for indoor use. It has four large slots into which you can insert Kingston’s modular “reader” devices. There’s one USB reader included, which provides one USB–C and one USB–A port, and you can buy additional readers for $34.99 that provide either two SD card slots or two micro–SD slots (memory cards not included). This means that the fully loaded Workflow can connect eight separate memory cards or USB devices at once. However, each reader module also has a standard USB–C port, so you can remove them from the Workflow and use them as portable memory card readers.
