As of July 28, 2021, the AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box has been discontinued and this model is no longer being manufactured, sold or maintained.
The AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box was a Thunderbolt™ 2 PCIe expansion box that provided an additional PCIe slot for Thunderbolt 2 computers (e.g. laptop computers) where installing an internal expansion card is not an option and for systems where there is not enough space for more PCIe cards.
The closest alternative is the OWC Mercury Helios 3S.
AKiTiO Thunder2 PCIe Box
The portable Thunderbolt™ 2 PCIe expansion box provides an additional PCIe slot for systems that do not support or have enough available space for expansion cards. The external Thunderbolt 2 connection allows you to daisy-chain up to 5 additional Thunderbolt devices, making this the ideal plug and play companion especially when you have to take your system with you. Replacing the card is a simple matter of removing three hand tightening screws, so no tools are required.
