Each of these circuits manages two of the four PCIe slots, providing high-speed bandwidth for your demanding applications. You connect the Thunderstor XR48 to your computer utilizing two of the four Thunderbolt 2 ports. The two remaining ports allow you to daisy-chain other Thunderbolt devices to your system. Furthermore, an integrated fan helps keep the drives and your PCI cards cool.
