Connect three full-length PCIe cards to computers with Thunderbolt 3 ports The best portable, mini desktop and all-in-one computers feature powerful CPUs and include high-performance Thunderbolt ports to support peripherals. But they lack the PCIe expansion slots creative pros need to install specialty adapter cards that enable their workflows by adding video and audio inputs, transcoding data, and connecting to high-speed shared storage and networks. Sonnet has a solution - the Echo III Rackmount - a professional Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe card expansion system that enables you to connect three (up to) full-length (12.28 inches long) PCIe cards to your computer at the same time, via a single cable. The Thunderbolt 3 link Plugged into one of your computer's Thunderbolt 3 ports, the Echo III Rackmount system delivers 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth and enables you to connect professional PCIe cards (three full-height, single-width cards, or one double-width card plus one single-width card). Avid Pro Tools qualified At the flick of a switch, the Avid qualified Echo III Rackmount system is instantly optimized to support up to three Pro Tools/HDX PCIe cards, with no extra parts necessary! Broad PCIe card compatibility Every Thunderbolt 3 compatible, non-GPU card supported regardless of length or height. Three PCIe 3.0 slots One x16 plus two x8 slots support three full-height, single-width cards, or one double-width card plus one single-width card. Pro power Integrated 400 W power supply with 75 W auxiliary power. Saves energy by powering on/off automatically with the computer. Remarkably quiet Dual temperature-controlled, variable-speed Noctua fans rated at 17 dBA automatically and quietly cool the cards. 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface Offers 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth for the installed cards. Two Thunderbolt 3 ports One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices.
