Accusys ThunderBox PCIe 3.0 Expansion Box
ThunderBox,the PCIe 3.0 expansion box equipped with 4 PCIe 3.0 ports, not only expands thecapacities but increases the PCIe/Thunderbolt 3 host numbers by connecting withAccusys T-Share RAID enclosure.
ThunderBoxhas dozens of workflow combinations depending on your needs,s whether it isexpanding your workgroup from 4 workstations to a maximum of 16 or creating anenvironment that uses different operating systems such as MAC, Windows, andLinux simultaneously.
The solution for the length of Thunderbolt3 cable and the compatibility with MAC/Windows/Linux
Currently,most Thunderbolt 3 users encounter a common problem that is the limitation ofthe length of Thunderbolt 3 cable, which is only 2 meters. ThunderBox, the PCIe3.0 expansion box uses QSFP cable, which can expand to the maximum length of100 meters.
For Linuxusers who can’t access Thunderbolt 3 storage because of kernel restriction, byjust adding an Accusys HBA card into your host and connecting with theThunderBox PCIe port you can share your data with others in the same AccusysT-share storage. Originally, the A12T3-Share already contains 4 Thunderbolt 3 portsand 1 PCIe 3.0 port, but using ThunderBox to expand, the PCIe 3.0 co-editingusers can go up to 3 and Thunderbolt 3 co-editing users up to 4.
Experience the Thunderbolt 3 speed andexpand your workstation numbers with ThunderBox.
Connect thePCIe ports between ThunderBox and A12T3-Shares to get a maximum of 16workstations to work together and have access to the same volume. As a workflowsuggestion, we recommend dividing the workflow into four groups to useA12T3-share indivisibly and sharing the data with other groups throughThunderBox to maximize storage performance and get the best work experience.
