Thunderbolt™ 3 to Single PCIe Expansion Enclosure
HL23T being the first Hercules™ series, the Netstor Hercules™ box is able to be installed with single-slot and double-width card to your Thunderbolt 3 host computers to bring the almighty power to your digital workflows, also creating your potential skills in both the Entertainment and Production fields. Suitable applications include Gaming, AR/VR content creation, video-editing and so forth.
Designed to feature Thunderbolt™ 3 interface (40Gb/s) capable of providing PCIe bandwidth up to 2750 MB/s, 2x times Thunderbolt 2, for diverse professional PCIe cards such as video transcoding and video capture that primarily require higher throughput of data transfer rate to the host computer.
Through the dual Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB-C) ports, users can have the first port to computer while the second port to daisy-chain of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices with two 4K displays or one 5K display being positioned at the very end of the chain. USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) is supported as well: connecting one USB device to the second port for application is applicable.
Built with one position movable 8x8 cm speed-adjustable fan cooler at enclosure's side, users can at any time by shifting cooler's position to have the best airflow ventilation to the video card based on each card's length design and card's fan/blower location.
The included one-meter Thunderbolt™ 3, 40Gbps, active cable allows users to much freely arrange the expansion box with their Thunderbolt 3 host computer for all kinds of the professional digital workflows.
The Thunderbolt™ 3 HL23T single-slot PCIe expansion chassis has passed Apple's strict certification test process and is Mac certified, which supports and works with all series of Thunderbolt Mac.
The built-in 300W industrial grade PSU definitely suits every end-users' needs in the digital content workflow applications. The expansion enclosure includes two 6+2 pin auxiliary PCI-E power connectors that support professional cards requiring electric power up to 300 watts.
