OWC Mercury Helios Thunderbolt PCIe Expansion Chassis
OWC Mercury Helios Thunderbolt PCIe Expansion Chassis Tap Into Power of PCIe and Thunderbolt The OWC Mercury Helios PCIe Expansion Chassis gives users of Thunderbolt port equipped computers like the Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro the ability to tap into a wide variety of professional-level performance PCIe cards that were once the sole domain of desktop workstations. Helios utilizes any half-length PCIe 2.0 card (up to 6.5") to provide a massive boost to your workflow. Helios is fast and flexible with throughput up to 10Gb/s, and is the perfect solution for high-performance PCIe cards made for video capture/editing, media transcoding, audio processing, and data storage. Finally, users of portable and all-in-one computers can enjoy the functionality and
productivity gains of these PCIe cards wherever their work takes them. Outstanding Features - Use any half-length (up to 6.5" long), full-height, single-width x1, x4 or x8 PCIe card via Thunderbolt technology. - PCIe card expansion offers: up to 10Gb/s SSD data transfer, uncompressed HD video capture, 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, and more. - Daisy-chain up to six Thunderbolt devices and one Mini Display port at end of chain. - Plug and Play...no drivers needed.* - Ventilated cooling with a variable speed fan. - Automatically powers on/off with your computer. - Hot-pluggable...connect and disconnect while unit is on.** - Bus-powers one Thunderbolt device that supports bus-powering.*** - Rugged yet lightweight aluminum housing can go anywhere your work takes you.
