StarTech 2TBT3-PCIE-ENCLOSURE Editorial Review
The Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Chassis has received mixed reviews. Customers have praised its compatibility with various laptops and its ability to improve graphic performance and browsing experience. One user highlighted its suitability for powering a UAD2 card when transitioning from a desktop to a laptop for studio use, while another appreciated its compatibility with their old Mac laptops and Thunderbolt monitor. However, some users have criticized its noisy fan and misleading advertisement as an eGPU, as it does not fully support GPUs. Additionally, there have been complaints about receiving a unit with scratch marks and dirt inside. It seems that the product delivers on certain aspects, but there are concerns about its noise level and accuracy in marketing its capabilities. **
