DuoModo xMac mini/eGPU Desktop System

Mac mini Integration + eGPU Expansion
The pre-configured DuoModo xMac mini/eGPU Desktop System integrates a Dual-Module Desktop Enclosure with one xMac mini module and one eGPU module.

- DuoModo Dual-Module Desktop Enclosure -
The Dual-Module Desktop Enclosure enables the interchangeable expansion of two DuoModo Expansion Modules.

- DuoModo xMac mini Module -
The DuoModo xMac mini Module is the ultimate Mac mini upgrade. The module provides secure computer mounting in a DuoModo desktop or rackmount enclosure. It includes a built-in 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 storage dock that adds NVMe storage expansion capability and additional ports for connecting peripherals.

Front Panel Connectivity-40Gbps Thunderbolt and 10Gbps USB ports
The front panel features one passthrough 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 port and three 10Gbps USB ports (two Type-C, one Type A) for connecting peripherals.

Versatile Internal Expansion-M.2 SSD Storage + Internal USB Type A Port
On top of the dock are two M.2 NVMe SSD sockets for one or two M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSDs (sold separately). The dock also features an internal USB Type A port that's perfect for connecting an iLok USB-A, thumb drive, or bus-powered USB storage drive.

Quiet Operation
The DuoModo xMac mini Module includes two temperature controlled, variable-speed fans that automatically and quietly provide cooling for the Thunderbolt 3 dock, any installed SSDs, and the module's power adapter.

- DuoModo eGPU Module -
The DuoModo eGPU Module connects a GPU card to computers without card slots. The module supports the latest video cards, provides a 800W future-proof design, features dual temperature-controlled, variable-speed Noctua fans rated at 17 dbA, and connects through a super fast 40Gbps Thunderbolt interface.

Graphics Workstation Power
If your workflow includes video editing, rendering, color grading, animating or creating special effects, many of the pro applications you use rely on desktop and workstation graphics (GPU) cards to do the heavy lifting in processing data. Unfortunately, many popular computers are equipped only with integrated graphics processors or low-power discrete GPUs that provide less than ideal performance. Happily, there's a simple path to greater productivity-add a Sonnet external GPU (eGPU). The DuoModo eGPU Module Thunderbolt to GPU PCIe Card Expansion System boosts your eGPU-compatible computer's graphics performance by connecting a high-performance desktop or workstation GPU card to your computer via a single cable.

Built for GPU Power

• Provides robust and well-regulated power for current and future GPU cards
• AMD approved for the air-cooled editions of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64, Radeon Pro WX 8200, and WX 9100
• Designed to also support overclocked NVIDIA cards with high peak power requirements

Expansive GPU Card Compatibility
The DuoModo eGPU Module is designed to accommodate the most power-hungry (up to) 2.5-slot width GPU cards. It supports Thunderbolt-compatible cards with popular GPU chipsets-such as AMD Radeon RX series (including VEGA GPUs); and NVIDIA GeForce series and TITAN GPUs. Even pro cards-AMD Radeon Pro and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs-are supported! Note that macOS supports only AMD GPU cards in eGPU systems, while Windows supports AMD and NVIDIA cards.

Demanding 4K to 8K Workflows? Double Your DuoModos.
Many task times on supported applications-such as Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Maxon Cinema4D, to name a few-can be cut significantly with one eGPU connected. But, for computers with Intel processors and multiple Thunderbolt ports, times can be slashed when two DuoModo eGPU Modules are employed. Connecting two eGPUs can multiply your computer's graphics processing power, enabling your computer to handle today's demanding 4K, 5K, 6K, and 8K workflows more efficiently. Plus, a computer's onboard discrete GPU can also significantly contribute to the aggregate performance.
