HighPoint RocketStor 6661A-2U2e Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA Adapter

Connect additional Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A, and eSATA peripherals to your compatible Windows or Mac system using the RocketStor 6661A-2U2e Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA Adapter from HighPoint . This adapter is equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, which provide bi-directional speeds of 40 Gb/s. While one port is used to interface with your host system, the other can be used to daisy-chain up to six devices together, including dual 4K displays or a single 5K display, thanks to support for DisplayPort 1.2. Thunderbolt 3 also supports 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C and provides 15W of power to compatible devices for charging.

In addition to the Thunderbolt 3 ports, the RocketStor 6661A-2U2e has two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports and two eSATA ports, each of which supports one device. Each of these ports is also driven by a dedicated controller, meaning that each USB port has 5 Gb/s of dedicated bandwidth and each eSATA port has 6 Gb/s of dedicated bandwidth, instead of the bandwidth being shared between the respective USB and eSATA ports.

HighPoint's RocketStor 6661A-2U2e Thunderbolt 3 to USB 3.1 Gen 1 & eSATA Adapter is compatible with Thunderbolt 2 devices, as well as USB 2.0. Please be aware that any daisy-chain connections will terminate if a peripheral or device is connected via USB Type-C. Included is a Thunderbolt 3 cable, a 60W / 100-240 VAC external power supply, and a power cord. Protection is provided by a limited 1-year parts & labor warranty.
