Sonnet Echo SE III Thunderbolt 5 Three-Slot PCIe Card Expansion System

Echo SE III. 3-slot Desktop Thunderbolt to PCIe Card Expansion System for Computers with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 Ports Connect Three Full-height, Half-length+ PCIe Cards to Computers with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 Ports Although thin Mac, Windows, and Linux computers with Thunderbolt ports offer processing power to spare, for many users (such as pros in the creative fields) onboard processing power alone is not enough. Sonnet's Echo SE III is a compact, desktop Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion system that enables you to connect three professional PCIe cards at the same time to any computer with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 ports. Echo SE III - Desktop Expansion with Auxiliary Power Connector Echo SE III provides three PCIe card expansion slots in a compact desktop enclosure. Smaller than the 3-slot Echo III Desktop, the Echo SE III is still large enough to support nearly every Thunderbolt-compatible, non-GPU PCIe card available. With its three x8 slots, the SE III supports PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0, and PCIe 1.1 cards up to 7.75 inches long. Got a double-width card? Some specialty cards, such as RME's HDSPe MADI FX, Blackmagic Design's DeckLink 4K Extreme, and the Lynx AES16e 50, include a daughter card that mates with and provides additional external connections to the main card. The Echo SE III provides the space to accommodate such cards. Need Extra Power? Echo SE III includes an auxiliary PCIe power connector, enabling you to install a card requiring extra power, such as the AJA Kona 5 and the Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Key Features For Computers with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 Ports Thunderbolt 5 Interface - up to 3400 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth to the installed cards Two Thunderbolt Ports Quiet, Temperature-Controlled Fan 120W Universal Power Adapter Auxiliary Power Connector (for Power-Hungry PCIe Cards) Rugged Aluminium Enclosure Includes Thunderbolt Cable Includes Sonnet Designed ThunderLok 3 Connector Retainer Clip (prevents accidental cable disconnections) Mac, Windows, and Linux Compatible 2-year Product Warranty Free Lifetime Customer Technical Support Designed and Made in the USA Full specifications are being finalised by Sonnet ahead of official release. This listing will be updated with confirmed compatibility notes and product manuals as soon as they are published. The Thunderbolt Connection Plugged into one of your computer's Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or Thunderbolt 3 ports, this compact desktop expansion system supports three professional PCIe cards (video capture; audio DSP; 6Gb or 12Gb SAS or SATA host bus adapter; 10Gb or 25Gb Ethernet; or RAID controller).
