Hi, which is the best docking station for the Power G9?
From the Quickspecs these would fit:
Docking station model #1 HP Thunderbolt Dock G2
Docking station model #2 HP USB-C Dock G5
Docking station model #3 HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2
Actually any TB or USB dock would "fit", but which give the best performance? I guess going for Thunderbolt 4 with 40Gbps would have the maximum bandwidth compared to the USB-C or Universal dock which are all USB3.? with only 5 (or 10?) Gbps? I'm not sure why the USB versions actually exists as long as TB is available.
Then there is only the option #1 for Thunderbolt?
I know there are older dock generations with TB3 which would work as well, but not gaining the maximum performance.
Why don't they reference part numbers in the Quickspecs? Searching for this model I find
and
https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06144915.pdf with VGA, which most probably isn't the right Dock for the Power G9.
Ok, different approach, searching via https://partsurfer.hp.com but Docks are not listed there as spare-parts.

As far as I know, the HP Thunderbolt Dock G2 was TB3 only, while a
HP Thunderbolt Combo Dock G4 4J0G4AA 280 Watt
would be the successor with TB4. But why should one need 280W if the original power supply for the Power G9 had 150W only?
