The Sonnet Thunderbolt 3 Upgrade Card for Echo Express SE II enhances the performance of your Thunderbolt 2 system by upgrading it to 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3. This upgrade involves replacing the existing Thunderbolt interface board on your Echo Express SOE II with the upgrade board. As a result, your chassis will be able to seamlessly connect to your Thunderbolt 3-equipped computer without the need for an adapter.
Once the Thunderbolt 3 interface card is installed, your upgraded Echo Express Thunderbolt 2 system will experience a significant boost in bandwidth. In fact, the upgraded system can enjoy anywhere from 30 to 100% more bandwidth compared to the original configuration. This increase in bandwidth enables PCIe cards with high bandwidth requirements, such as 16 Gb Fibre Channel and 4K Video I/O cards supporting high frame rates, to deliver improved performance compared to the previous setup.
