The Powerfully Simple Way to Use PCIe Cards with Thunderbolt 3/4/5 or USB4 Computers While Adding More Thunderbolt 5 Ports

Modern notebooks, small form factor computers, and “all in one” desktop computers are slender marvels of engineering,
but they have a major shortcoming. The lack of internal space to install PCIe cards for added functionality. The OWC Mercury Helios 5S opens a world of pro grade, full-size workstation capabilities to those machines via a single Thunderbolt 5 connection. Adding a high-speed storage, networking, audio DSP, 8K video capture, or specialty adapter card is a quick, no tools required process. Plus, with three Thunderbolt 5 ports, the Mercury Helios 5S doubles as a space-saving connectivity hub for additional device or display connectivity. Now you and your customers can truly think outside the bulky desktop box when it comes to PCIe-based workflows thanks to the proven leader in Thunderbolt technology with the most extensive range of Thunderbolt solutions globally.
