Sonnet Echo Express SE ECHO-EXP-SE プリント

Sonnet harnesses the potential 
of Thunderbolt technology to 
enable you to connect a high-
performance PCIe expansion 
card to computers without 
expansion slots. Sonnet’s Echo 
Express SE enables you to use a 
high-performance PCI Express® 
adapter card (sold separately) 

with any computer with a Thunderbolt port. Imagine using a 
compatible professional video capture, audio interface, SAS & SATA 
HBA, 8Gb Fibre Channel, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, or RAID controller card 
with your iMac®, Mac® mini, MacBook® Air or MacBook Pro!

The Echo Express SE is small, light, and perfect for use in situations 
where the installed PCIe card doesn’t require much space or a lot 
of power. The chassis has a single slot that accommodates a half-
length (up to 6.6” long), full-height, single-width, x8

(1)

 PCIe 2.0 card. 

Constructed of aluminum, the Echo Express SE’s outer shell helps 
transfer heat away from the card and securely protects it inside. The 
enclosure is ventilated front and back, and a quiet, temperature-
controlled fan (with no switches or jumpers to configure) 
automatically helps keep even the very hottest cards cool; when not 
needed, the fan slows down to a whisper so you can work without a 
lot of noise in the background. The Echo Express SE is enviro-friendly, 
powering on and off with your computer.
