Description
Ultra-light notebooks, small form factor and all-in-one Mac®, Windows®(1) and Linux® computers are slender, and frequently offer a lot of processing power, but thinness comes with a cost—there’s nowhere for you to install PCIe cards for the additional connectivity and processing capabilities beyond what’s offered by a computer’s standard ports.
The Sonnet Echo Express SE I Desktop Thunderbolt 2 Expansion System for PCIe Cards is a compact, desktop Thunderbolt™ 2 to PCIe card expansion system that fixes that issue, enabling you to connect a single PCIe card to any computer with Thunderbolt 2 ports.
Echo Express SE I is designed to be ultra-quiet so that it can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive environments. The airflow path within the chassis has been specially designed to enable the temperature-controlled, variable speed fan to quietly and efficiently cool the installed card at all times, even during peak operation.
Key Features:
- Use a high-performance PCIe card with any computer with a Thunderbolt 2 port.
- Supports one half-length+ (up to 7.75 inches long), full-height, single-width PCIe card (plus one daughter card).
- Full Thunderbolt 2 performance; backward compatible with 10Gbps Thunderbolt.
- Takes up little space on the desktop, but large enough to support nearly every Thunderbolt-compatible PCIe card, at full performance.
- One port connects to computer; second port supports daisy-chaining of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices.
- Temperature-controlled, variable-speed fan automatically and quietly cools the card.
- Powers on/off automatically with the computer.
- Rugged Aluminium Housing provides robust and secure protection.
- Daisy chain port provides up to 10W of power to connected peripherals.
