Sonnet Echo Express SEL Desktop Thunderbolt 2 Expansion Chassis for PCIe Cards TO 1PCIE SLOT HALF LENGTH/HEIGHT

Use a Low-Profile PCIe Card with Computers Lacking Expansion Slots

Today’s ultra-light notebooks
mini
and all-in-one desktop computers now have tremendous processing power-power that many thought would only be possible in full-size workstation or large desktop computers. Smaller in size and more portable
they’re very desirable. For pros in the creative fields
processing power alone is not enough. A prime example is the new Mac Pro®. Reviewers love its performance
but make a point of mentioning its lack of internal expansion capabilities compared to the old towers the new model replaces. If you want to add more capabilities
think external-the new Pro is loaded with Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 ports
but it lacks the PCIe expansion slots necessary for you to install specialty high bandwidth NIC cards
or HBAs and RAID controller cards for high-performance storage. With the Echo Express SEL
Sonnet has created a solution that leverages the paradigm shift enabled by Thunderbolt technology
allowing PCIe expansion slots to be connected outside a computer. This very compact desktop Thunderbolt 2-to-PCIe card expansion chassis is ideal for connecting one professional 16Gb or 8Gb Fibre Channel
10 Gigabit Ethernet
SAS/SATA host bus adapter or RAID controller PCIe card to any Mac® with a Thunderbolt port.
