With StarTech Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis X16, you may add a PCI Express card to your laptop or desktop computer via an external Thunderbolt connection
The chassis also contains a DisplayPort video output, allowing you to connect an extra monitor to your laptop, and it supports Thunderbolt 3 daisy chaining, allowing you to expand your workstation even further.
Expand the capabilities of your Thunderbolt 3 computer
The Thunderbolt 3 PCIe chassis makes it simple to add the features you need to work at maximum efficiency.
PCI Express devices such as USB 3.1/3.0/2.0 and USB-C, SSD, network, eSATA, FireWire, and video capture cards can all be added.
Thunderbolt 3 and PCIe 3.0
With the speed and bandwidth support of StarTech Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis X16, you can get a lot of the same port additions you'd get from a desktop system's PCI Express expansion slots.
Extend your workstation
A dedicated DisplayPort output on the external PCIe enclosure allows you to connect an additional display to your laptop or desktop computer.
A second Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connector is included in the enclosure, which can be used to connect a supplementary monitor (a USB-C video adapter may be required).
You can work more productively
You can work more productively by multitasking faster and avoiding the inconvenience of constantly adjusting many active windows or apps with multiple expanded screens.
Additional Thunderbolt 3, USB, and DisplayPort devices can be connected to your system via the second Thunderbolt 3 port.
Up to six Thunderbolt 3 devices can be daisy chained together to expand your workplace to meet your individual needs.
Increase productivity with faster speeds
Thunderbolt 3 is the quickest connection available, so you won't have to suffer with the performance bottlenecks that come with slower connections, and you'll be able to get more done in the same amount of time.
This Thunderbolt 3 extension chassis has a speed of up to 40Gbps, allowing you to add displays to your laptop, access files swiftly, and work without interruption.
Making it Ideal
It's simple to access and edit huge uncompressed files on the fly, such as films and photos, making it ideal for on-the-fly production.
