![]() For external PCIe slots, the 3-slot Sonnet Echo Express III is ~$900 (ouch!) I would like to put my UAD-2 PCIe Duo, my Inateck USB 3.0 card, and a (don't have it yet) Lynx AES16e-50 card in an external PCIe case connected via Thunderbolt. The Tbolt3 USB-C could have a ~$70 Tbolt3-to-Tbolt2 adapter to allow use of "less expensive" Tbolt2 docks and PCIe external cases. Inbound, there are some NVMe devices that could saturate the Thunderbolt connection. ![]() Thunderbolt encoding is an efficient 64b/66b implementation so the Mac Pro outbound would never saturate the link even with Tbolt2. ![]() The PCIe 2.0 slots in the Mac Pro are good for 5GT/sec per lane, which is ~5Gbit/sec with 8b/10b encoding which yields 500MByte/sec per lane, 2000MByte/sec total. TRT card is ~$100, takes a PCIe 4x slot ![]() Right now, in my head, I am chasing through the issues of doing the Titan Ridge Thunderbolt (TRT) in my 2010 12-core Mac Pro.
