Powerful Expansion for Your Mac Studio-based Setup

The Sonnet Technologies xMac Studio/Echo III integrates your Apple Mac Studio computer into a compact, 3U rackmount enclosure, along with a 3-slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion system. The xMac Studio/Echo III accommodates three full-height, full-length PCIe cards. You also get two 40Gbps Thunderbolt ports, a hefty 400-watt power supply, and dual ultra-quiet Noctua fans. The Sonnet xMac Studio/Echo III comes with a power cable, 40Gbps Thunderbolt cable, ThunderLok 3 connector retainer clip, and two adhesive-backed magnets for mounting portable SSDs.

Provides versatile PCIe card expansion

The xMac Studio/Echo III enables you to use your Apple Mac Studio computer with a wide variety of specialty cards — a must-have for large-scale audio and video post-production facilities. This 3-slot Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion system works with low-profile, half-length to full-height, and full-length cards, and supports most Thunderbolt-compatible, non-GPU PCIe cards.
