Echo II DV Rackmount Thunderbolt 5 Two-Slot Full Length PCIe Card Expansion System

Information Rackmount 2-slot dual Thunderbolt 5 interface to PCIe card expansion system for pro DV I/O cards Do you use one of the hot new laptops or mini desktops with ultra-high-performance Thunderbolt™ 5 ports in your creative pro workflow? Without PCIe expansion slots, those computers’ onboard processing power alone is probably not enough to get your job done. You still need the speciality cards that add needed video and audio I/O, transcode data, and connect to high-speed networks and shared storage. Sonnet Echo™ II DV T5 Rackmount eliminates the limitation. This professional Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion system connects two full-length, single-width PCIe cards to your computer, each to a separate Thunderbolt port for maximum bandwidth to each card — it’s the ultimate solution for connecting cards with high bandwidth requirements. Features Computer System Requirements To support maximum performance when using two bandwidth-hungry PCIe cards, Echo II DV T5 Rackmount requires the following: Two connections between the Echo II DV T5 module and the host computer(s) with two Thunderbolt 5 ports with independent PCIe bandwidth.
