Sonnet EchoExpress SEL TB3 PCIe

With the EchoExpress SEL TB3 PCIe, Sonnet offers the optimal solution for compact systems such as all-in-one desktop computers and ultra-light notebooks that do not offer the possibility to install a PCIe card. Mac and Windows computers with Thunderbolt TM3 connectors are thus externally expanded to maximize flexibility. The Echo Express SEL TB 3 PCIe can handle a variety of Thunderbolt compatible 16GB and 8GB Fibre Channel, 40 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, video editing, SAS and SATA host bus adapters and RAID controller cards.

Another advantage is the incredibly fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 interface of the Echo Express Sel, as it works twice as fast as a Thunderbolt 2 interface and reaches bandwidths of up to 2750 MB/s - optimal for 4K video recording and processing cards with high frame rates, as well as 16GB FC cards and Dual 10GbE cards. The interface supports not only the fastest PCIe cards, but also up to 2 4KB screens at 60Hz or a 5k screen at 60Hz. Various peripherals with TB and USB are supported.

Compact design

The EchoExpress SEL not only scores with its sophisticated technology, but also with its space-saving design for individual low-profile PCIe cards. Measuring 10 x 21 x 7cm, most THudnerbolt compatible high-speed network and storage controller cards fit in perfectly, even the BlueFish444 Epoch 4K Neutron video card.

Well thought-out - inside & outside

Light, robust, quiet - all things that make life more pleasant in the studio and on the go. With its aluminum enclosure, the Echo Express SEL provides perfect protection for the installed PCIe card, while an internal fan is temperature controlled and automatically adjusts the airflow to the cooling requirements of the installed card, ensuring it is always cooled optimally and quietly. In addition, this version has no power button and automatically turns on and off with your computer to save power.
