      Computer System Requirements

      To support maximum performance when using two bandwidth-hungry PCIe cards, Echo II DV requires the following:

      • Two connections between the Echo II DV module and the host computer(s) with two Thunderbolt ports with independent PCIe bandwidth.
      • For example:
      • Mac (M series)
      • Windows computer with two Thunderbolt 5 ports
      • Connecting each card to a different Thunderbolt computer

        Apple Insider Review
        ★★★★☆ 4.0/5
        Modular & Compact Mac mini PCIe and eGPU Expansion
        “What the Sonnet DuoModo system is, though, is a modular Thunderbolt 3 expansion system for that rack-mount. Alternatively, its an attractive system that can put a Mac mini, extra NVMe storage, and a GPU on your desktop for about the same amount of space as the company's own EGPU enclosure alone…We like the System overall. It performs well, it looks nice, and it's fun — which you don't often say about pro-oriented accessories.”
