How loud are the fans on this unit? I have the Thunderbolt 2 version of this and the fans are louder than I'd like them to be on it. Does anybody know what the comparison is like?
Asked by: Cole
This would be heavily dependent on the use case scenario. However I would say it would be on par with the thunderbolt 2 variant.

Can you mount a Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 8-Channel 3G-SDI Capture & Playback Card Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 8-Channel 3G-SDI Capture & Playback Card in this enclosure?
Asked by: bo
Not an answer but follow up question on this subject. Why would it not work? The card is pci2.0 card and this enclosure has same slot capability. The mac mini m2 2023 is able to handle the card (i currently use it). Isnt this simply an enclosure to connect a video card and mac mini? Wouldnt just the card and mac mini used determine compatibility? Sorry if my knowledge in this is wrong.
