StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis, External Enclosure With One PCI Express Slot, PCIe Box for Laptops / Desktops / All-In-Ones, 5K/4K Output Via TB3/DP, TAA Compliant (TB31PCIEX16)

I bought this to power my UAD2 card when I moved from desktop to laptop for my studio.It works perfectly and was cheaper than the recommended products 👍🏼

This should be clearly written that this doesn't work with GPUs to become an external gpu enclosure - but should be fairly obvious due to its lack of power options on this front.That said, I use it for driving an AIC128D Dante Accelerator card, and it works fine for this.

I use this onsite for live stream production, great piece of kit. The only thing I dislike is how loose the power cable is, one light tug and it'll come right out.

I am using StarTech.com TB31PCIEX16 as the eGPU for my MacBook Pro laptops 2014/2015to run Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter with my 32inch 4K monitor.Product works perfectly with my old Mac thunderbolt 2 laptops.It also connects well via Apple Thunderbolt Monitor thunderbolt port andvia thunderbolt 3 dock in device-daisy chaining.The Chassis also improves graphic performance and internetbrowsing experience on my new windows 10 laptop with a built-in Intel UHD 620 Graphics.WebGL Aquarium Test showed 90% GPU boost across all my laptops.I installed the AMD Radeon RX550 graphics card that does not require an external power supply.The fan is very noisy on Chassis so I replaced it with Noctua NF-A6x25 Fan, 3-Pin 60mm.I also bought longer thunderbolt 3 cable as included cable is very short.

This statement should be in bold. this is for drives and alike not graphics cardsgood build quality and multiple adapters for power supplied with
