Convert your Thunderbolt 2- and Thunderbolt-compatible Mac mini into a full-size server using the xMac Mini Server Thunderbolt 3 Rackmount Enclosure from Sonnet. This 1U rackmount enclosure expands the capabilities of your Mac mini by connecting to its Thunderbolt 3 port for a transfer rate of up to 40 Gb/s, with 1.75 Gb/s PCIe bandwidth to installed cards. Connect a USB 3.1 Gen 2 storage drives to the second Thunderbolt port using a compatible adapter or cable for up to 10 Gb/s throughput.
Two PCIe 2.0 slots are available for installing compatible expansion cards for fiber optic connections, RAID controllers, video capture devices, and more. An auxiliary PCIe power connector is included to supplement the 150W power supply for cards that require extra power. In addition to its two USB Type-A connectors for peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and flash drives, the xMac Mini Server features an RJ45 port that supports up to 10Gb Ethernet and a HDMI port for external displays.
