AKiTiO T2PC-TIA-I8A Thunder2 PCIe
Box
Overview
AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Expansion Box
TweakTown Best Features AwardThe portable Thunderbolt™ 2 PCIe expansion box
provides an additional PCIe slot for systems that do not support or have enough
available space for expansion cards. The external Thunderbolt 2 connection
allows you to daisy-chain up to 5 additional Thunderbolt devices, making this
the ideal plug and play companion especially when you have to take your system
with you. Replacing the card is a simple matter of removing three hand
tightening screws, so no tools are required.
Features
- Two Thunderbolt™ 2 ports for lightning fast speeds of up to 20Gb/s.
- 1 PCIe (x16) slot supporting half-length, full-height, double-width cards.
- 4 lane PCI Express 2.0 compliant interface at 5.0Gbps.
- Removable back panel for double-width cards.
- Daisy-chain up to 6 Thunderbolt™ devices.
- Durable and rugged aluminum casing.
- No tools required for installation.
4K Workflow with Thunderbolt 2 Technology
Thunderbolt 2 technology incorporates DisplayPort 1.2 support, which allows
for video streaming to a single 4K video monitor. If you are a video editor, you
can now use a single port to connect your external Thunderbolt devices and a 4K
display.
4 Lane PCI Express 2.0 Compliant Interface
The PCIe (x16) slot accepts half-length, full-height, double-width cards and
provides a maximum of 25W. Replacing the card can be done without tools, simply
by removing two hand tightening screws for the chassis and one for the card.
Provides Two Thunderbolt 2 Ports for Daisy-Chain
The
second Thunderbolt 2 port lets you daisy-chain up to five Thunderbolt devices
together. For example, you can attach additional external drives and even a
display, all connected to the computer through a single cable.
