The HL23T is the first in the Hercules™ series, the Netstor Hercules™ PCIe Expansion Enclosure is able to be installed with single-slot and double-width card to your Thunderbolt 3 host computers to bringing incredible power to your digital workflows.Suitable applications include High Performance Gaming, AR/VR content creation, video-editing and so forth.

Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) 40Gbps Interface

Designed to feature Thunderbolt™ 3 interface (40Gb/s) capable of providing PCIe bandwidth up to 2750 MB/s, 2x times Thunderbolt 2, for diverse professional PCIe cards such as video transcoding and video capture that primarily require higher throughput of data transfer rate to the host computer.

Dual Thunderbolt 3 Ports – The USB C That Does It All

Through the dual Thunderbolt™ 3 (USB-C) ports, users can have the first port to computer while the second port to daisy-chain of up to five additional Thunderbolt peripheral devices with two 4K displays or one 5K display being positioned at the very end of the chain. USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) is supported as well: connecting one USB device to the second port for application is applicable.

Cooling Where your Card Needs It Most

Built with one movable 8×8 cm speed-adjustable fan cooler at enclosure’s side, users can shift the cooler’s position at any time to have the best airflow ventilation to the video card based on each card’s length design and fan/blower location.

The 300W Industrial-Grade Power Supply

The built-in 300W industrial grade PSU definitely suits every end-users’ needs in the digital content workflow applications. The expansion enclosure includes two 6+2 pin auxiliary PCI-E power connectors that support professional cards requiring electric power up to 300 watts.
