The NODE Duo, with space enough for two half-length PCIe cards, is the ultimate plug and play expansion kit for Thunderbolt 3 computers (E.G. Laptop computers) where installing an internal expansion card is not an option and for systems where there is not enough space for more PCIe cards. The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connection not only makes adding an external PCIe card Easy but it also allows you to take the device with you to use on location and move it from one system to another. Supports two PCIe Gen3 x2 cards the two PCIe slots accept half-length, full-height, Double-width cards and provide 25W of power Each. If only one PCIe card is installed and the power delivery function is not used, the PCIe slot can provide up to 75W of power.

For more power, the included 150W power adapter can be replaced with a 230W power adapter, making it possible to provide up to 75W of power to each slot. For even more power, the breakaway-tab on the back panel can be removed to create an opening, which can then be used to run a cable from an additional PSU directly to the PCIe card (E.G. 6+2-Pin PCIe power cable). power delivery (60W) The reversible USB Type-C (USB-C) connector enhances ease of use for connecting devices with a focus on minimizing user confusion for Plug and cable orientation.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: if the connected Mac is shutdown and the device looses power, will pcie ssds be keep all their data?**
A: If the device is shut down normally, the SSD are unmounted and retain all their data. If there is accidental shutdown such as power failure, then chances are good that your data will be retained. However as with all drives, there could be a chance of data corruption. We always recommend unmounting your drives before powering down the enclosure. The Mac OS will do this automatically when you Shut Down your computer using the OS prompts.

A: Hello. There are various adaptec raid controller cards. I would recommend to contact OWC's technical support team for more details to see if this is compatible.

**Q: Does the box support PCIe 1.0 cards?**
A: Hello.  This will support PCIe 1.0 cards.

**Q: Will this unit support Thunderbolt 2 (2013 Mac Pro)?**
A: Hello! With the proper Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter, you can indeed connect this to a Thunderbolt 2 host. Keep in mind you may be limited by Thunderbolt 2 performance depending on the installed PCIe cards.
