Details
The Sonnet xMac Mini Server Thunderbolt 3 Rackmount Enclosure lets you convert your Thunderbolt 2- and Thunderbolt-compatible Mac mini into a full-size server. 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 drive to the second Thunderbolt port using a compatible adapter or cable for up to 10 Gb/s throughput.
Ready for the Server Room
xMac Mini Server 1U rackmount enclosure features a user-replaceable 150W power supply, variable speed fans, and built-in cable management.
Energy Efficiency
The rackmount enclosure includes variable-speed fans that automatically adjust to each configuration. It can also automatically turn itself on and off to help conserve power when the Mac mini is in sleep mode or turned off.
USB 3.1 Gen 2
Doubling the speed of its predecessor, USB 3.1 Gen 2 features a maximum throughput of 10 Gb/s when used with compatible devices.
ThunderLok
The included Thunderbolt cable features Sonnet's ThunderLok technology, which keeps the Thunderbolt connector securely attached to the port and minimizes the chance of it being accidentally unplugged.
