External Three PCIe Slots Expansion Box

TurboBox™ PCIe Expansion Chassis 3-Slot GPU NA211A-GPU features easy plug-and-play installation. It requires only one PCIe ×4 data cable to connect NA211A to host computer without any driver needed. The three available PCIe slots provided by NA211A for expansion of I/O capabilities support combination of ×1, ×4, ×8 and ×16 PCI Express full-length cards with a robust, firm aluminum housing for highest protection. The dedicated fan inside TurboBox™ NA211A is designed to provide finest cooling for any PCI Express card installed inside.

Compatible with Sandy Bridge Microarchitecture

The new TurboBox™ NA211A-GPU is compatible PCIe 2.0/Gen 2 specification equipment as well as Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge processing microarchitecture. The NA211A is capable of supporting up to 5 Gb/s data throughput with Intel’s 6 series laptop chipset and up to 20 Gb/s, when the ExpressCard 34 connector is connected to a desktop PC or server workstation.

Cost-Effective Solution

The second generation TurboBox™ is verified by the CE and FCC, and is compliant with RoHS regulations, so you can trust in a robust build quality and a PCIe expansion solution that wont cause you problems.

I'm interested in purchasing the NA211A-GPU PCIe expansion chassis for my 2009 Mac Pro computer. I need it specifically for the DaVinci Resolve software, which relies heavily on GPU Cuda core processing. I plan to use the chassis for a second processing card, as well as a Red Rocket card. Is there any reason why the expansion chassis would not work with Resolve?

The DaVinci Resolve definitely works with the NA211A-GPU PCIe expansion chassis. However, you would not be able to install both the GPU card and a Red Rocket into the NA211A-GPU at the same time as the NA211A-GPU has only one open type PCIe x8 slot available for the PCIe x16 card. We would suggest that you install the GPU card and a PCIe x4 card (moved from your Mac Pro) in the NA211A-GPU, and keep the Red Rocket card in your Mac Pro for best performance. Please take note that either one of the following combinations of PCIe cards would work in the NA211A-GPU. a) 1 x GPU card 1 x low speed PCIe x4 card b) 1 x Red Rocket 1 x low speed PCIe x4 card We would recommend the NA250A-GPU (/product/pcie-expansion-enclosure-na250a/) should you need to install two or more PCIe x16 cards at the same time.
