Sonnet DuoModo Echo III Module

Sonnet DuoModo Echo III Module SONDMMODE3 SON-DM-MOD-E3 SON DM MOD E3 SON/DM/MOD/E3

The DuoModo™ Echo™ III Module connects up to three PCIe cards to computers without card slots. The module supports three full-height, full-length Thunderbolt™-compatible non-GPU PCIe cards; provides 400W of power for the most demanding of PCIe cards, including qualification from Avid for Pro Tools | HDX PCIe cards; features quiet, dual temperature-controlled Noctua fans rated at 17 dbA; and connects through super fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface.

Graphics Workstation Power 

If your workflow includes video editing, rendering, color grading, animating or creating special effects, many of the pro applications you use rely on desktop and workstation graphics (GPU) cards to do the heavy lifting in processing data. Unfortunately, many popular computers are equipped only with integrated graphics processors or low-power discrete GPUs that provide less than ideal performance. Happily, there’s a simple path to greater productivity—add a Sonnet external GPU (eGPU). The DuoModo eGPU Module Thunderbolt to GPU PCIe Card Expansion System boosts your eGPU-compatible computer’s graphics performance by connecting a high-performance desktop or workstation GPU card to your computer via a single cable.
