Sonnet Echo Express SE III 3 PCIe Slot Thunderbolt 3 Expansion +

Use a PCIe Card with Any Thunderbolt 3–equipped Computer

Fewer and fewer new computers are being loaded with PCIe card slots. If that's what's keeping you from upgrading, then you're in luck. The Echo Express SE IIIe from Sonnet Technologies allows you to connect three PCIe cards to nearly any Thunderbolt 3–equipped Mac or PC. For example, use your UAD-2 cards with a laptop. With speeds up to 2,750 MB/s, high-resolution multichannel audio is no problem for this expansion chassis. It even supports 4K video capture! The Echo Express SE IIIe provides up to 15 watts of power to your peripherals and features a rugged aluminum housing.
Nearly every Thunderbolt 3–compatible PCIe card is supported

The Echo Express SE IIIe supports cards from Apogee, Focusrite, Lynx, RME, SSL, Universal Audio, and more. It features x8 PCIe slots and supports half-length+, full-height, and single- and double-width PCIe cards.
Expand your system with Thunderbolt 3

The Sonnet Technologies Echo Express SE IIIe features two Thunderbolt 3 ports. The first connects to your computer. The second is reserved for daisy-chaining up to five additional Thunderbolt devices to your computer. You get 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 support to connect a USB device. You can also connect a pair of 4K displays or a single 5K display. The Echo Express SE IIIe also provides up to 15 watts of power to your bus-powered peripherals.
Connect your computer to one port on the Echo Express SE IIIe and daisy chain up to 5 additional Thunderbolt devices (plus two 4K monitors, one 5K display, or one USB 3.0 device).
