Product Description 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 latest 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 latest pro is loaded with thunderbolt 2 and usb 3.0 ports, but it lacks the pie 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 pie 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 fiber channel, 10 gigabit Ethernet, sas/sata host bus adapter or raid controller pie card to any mac or windows pc(4) with a thunderbolt port. The echo express sel features thunderbolt 2 technology, which provides ample bandwidth for many of the most demanding, highest performance pie cards, and incorporates support for the DisplayPort 1.2 protocol, which enables video streaming to a 4k video monitor. While the sel delivers maximum performance when connected to a computer with thunderbolt 2 ports, it is also fully compatible with computers with 10gbps thunderbolt technology, supporting most cards at full-performance.
