Lexar PexarBolt Ultra Dock: A 22-in-1 Thunderbolt 5 Powerhouse with a 5-Inch Touchscreen

Lexar has officially announced the PexarBolt Ultra, a flagship docking station designed for creative professionals and power users who refuse to compromise on connectivity. Currently live on crowdfunding platforms, this 22-in-1 dock packs an impressive array of ports, a built-in touchscreen display, and blazing-fast Thunderbolt 5 performance — all at an early-bird price of $479 (MSRP $649).

Thunderbolt 5 at Its Core

The PexarBolt Ultra is built around three Thunderbolt 5 ports, delivering up to 80Gbps of bidirectional bandwidth (with 120Gbps boost mode). The host port supplies up to 140W of power delivery via PD 3.1, enough to keep even the most demanding laptops charged, while downstream ports offer 15W for peripherals.

Built-in 5-Inch Touchscreen

One of the dock's standout features is a 5-inch touchscreen integrated into the top panel. It provides real-time monitoring of connected devices, power output, data transfer speeds, and system status — a rare convenience that turns the dock into a command center for your desk setup. A precision metal dial accompanies the screen for quick adjustments. 

Storage Expansion Built In

The dock doesn't just connect your devices — it expands your storage too. Inside, you'll find an M.2 NVMe SSD slot (PCIe Gen 4×2) capable of speeds up to 3,600 MB/s, letting you add fast local storage without an external drive enclosure.
