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.
