What to compare closely
This table starts with model specifications. Choose a configuration to compare included memory, storage and captured prices. Adding a PC keeps your selection in a shareable comparison.
- K8 Plus lists two USB4 connections and two 2.5GbE connections. SER8 and UM880 Plus each list one USB4 and one 2.5GbE connection, which may be enough for a single-dock, single-network setup.
- UM880 Plus implements OCuLink through an adapter that shares an M.2 slot. Check the storage trade-off when comparing it with the K8 Plus connector arrangement.
- K8 Plus and UM880 Plus list both barebone and complete packages. SER8 8845HS has no verified US-adapter offer in the current record; compare specifications without inventing a missing US price.
