When writing our single 10GB file to the drive using a hardwired USB 3.0 connection, we saw throughput of 99.2 MBps. Transferring files over the wireless connection was also significantly slower than when we hardwired a USB 3.0 hard drive to the notebook. While I noticed very little video lag with the wireless dock, I wouldnвЂ™t recommend playing games on the system. When you come back to your desk, the system automatically reconnects and you can get back to work. With the D5000 and the Latitude 6430u, you just pick up your notebook and walk away. If youвЂ™ve used a laptop with a conventional dock for any length of time, you know what a pain it can be to make that physical separation and connection over and over again.

Still, the fact that you can drive two displays and transfer files between a host PC and a docked hard drive without any wires is an impressive trick.

I lost connection between the laptop and dock if I separated the two by more than six feet. ROBERT CARDIN YouвЂ™ll find two more USB 3.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.1, HDMI 1.3, and gigabit ethernet on the rear panel.Дell says the D5000 delivers up to 10 meters of range (with the dock and laptop in the same room), but I found that claim wildly optimistic. If you donвЂ™t have a networked printer, that third USB port could be used for a printer, scanner, or any number of other peripherals.

I connected a 1TB Seagate Wireless Plus hard drive into the second USB 3.0 port, and left the third vacant. (Another bummer: The dock doesnвЂ™t support HDCP, so you wonвЂ™t be able to watch copy-protected DVDs or Blu-ray discs.) I connected the dock to our corporate network, plugged in a Dell wireless USB transceiver (for a wireless keyboard and mouse) into one of the USB 3.0 ports. I connected two 24-inch displays, one of which had native resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels, and the other had native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The D5000 has two video outputs (one is DisplayPort 1.1-which means thereвЂ™s no support for multistream transport-and the other is HDMI 1.3), three USB 3.0 ports, one gigabit ethernet, and one 1/8-inch stereo audio jack. In my tests, it performed remarkably well. Still interested? Of course you are! Even if you have no intention of buying one, you must be curious to know how a wireless docking station performs. When those will arrive is anyoneвЂ™s guess. That will change in time: A Dell representative told me the company вЂњabsolutelyвЂќ expects to offer its WiGig adapter вЂњwith additional products in the coming months.вЂќ The spokesperson also said вЂњthe D5000 is fully standards-compliant,вЂќ which means it will work with future WiGig adapters from other manufacturers.

And there are no third-party adapters that would enable you to use the D5000 with other notebooks. You canвЂ™t buy the adapter card separately from the computer, so you canвЂ™t add it to a Latitude 6430u you might already own.

ThereвЂ™s just one significant drawback: Dell is offering the internal adapter card (the $37.50 Dell Wireless 1601 WiGig and 802.11n 2Г—2 Wi-Fi Half Mini Card) thatвЂ™s required for pairing the notebook to the docking station as an option with only one laptop: the Latitude 6430u. ROBERT CARDIN The D5000 has a single USB 3.0 port on its front pane, along with an 1/8-inch stereo audio jack.
