Sonnet DuoModo Echo III Module

Overview
The DuoModo™ Echo™ III Module is a versatile expansion module that allows users to connect up to three full-height, full-length PCIe cards to their computer. It features a built-in 400W power supply with a 75W auxiliary power connector, making it compatible with power-hungry, non-GPU cards such as Avid Pro Tools | HDX. The module also has quiet dual Noctua fans and a Thunderbolt 3 interface, providing 2750 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth to the installed GPU card. It is compatible with both Apple® M1 and Thunderbolt 4 computers and comes with a 2-year product warranty and free lifetime customer technical support.

If your work involves graphics-intensive tasks such as video editing, rendering, or special effects, the DuoModo eGPU Module is the perfect solution. It allows you to boost your computers graphics performance by connecting a high-performance desktop or workstation GPU card through a single cable. This eliminates the need for a desktop or workstation with a dedicated GPU, providing a simple and efficient way to increase productivity. Designed and made in the USA, the DuoModo eGPU Module is a reliable and powerful tool for any graphics workstation.

About the Sonnet DuoModo Echo III Module
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.
