The problem when using Avid HDX cards in a multi-slot expansion chassis is the combination of a Thunderbolt 3 interface AND a PCIe 3rd generation 3 bridge chip on the backplane board with multiple slots (and this bridge chip is required to support multiple PCIe slots) means that the Avid HDX cards don’t work in these multi-slot chassis.

What Makes This Model Different To The Previous Models?Īs we explained in our article back in 2018 What Pro Tools Compatible Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis Can I Use With My Apple Mac Pro Tools Computer? when Apple Thunderbolt 3 computers like the Mac Mini 2018 and the iMac Pro, had been released there was confusion about which Thunderbolt expansion chassis you could use with a Thunderbolt-equipped Apple computer and so we put together a guide especially as the transition to Thunderbolt 3 has muddied the waters in this area.
Sonnet has put together a compatibility list that identifies cards conforming to Thunderbolt technology requirements and organized by fit and power compatibility with specific expansion systems. Sonnet is claiming that the new Echo III units will support every Thunderbolt 3 compatible, non-GPU PCIe 1.1/2.0/3.0 card available including video capture and transcoding audio DSP 6Gb or 12Gb SAS or SATA host bus adapter 10Gb, 25Gb or Ethernet SSD storage and more.
