Sonnet Technologies xMac mini 2024+/Echo II DV T5 2U Rackmount System

SKU CH-82HQ-ZCJKW

Rackmount enclosure integrates Mac minis with dual Thunderbolt 5 PCIe expansion slots delivering 6000 MB/s bandwidth

  • Rackmount two Mac minis in 2U steel enclosure
  • Thunderbolt 5 delivers 6000 MB/s per PCIe slot
  • Front-to-back airflow preserves Mac mini thermal design
  • Secure dual SSD mounting beneath Mac mini modules
  • Dual PCIe slots run high-bandwidth DV I/O cards

Rackmount enclosure for dual Mac minis

The Sonnet xMac mini 2024+/Echo II DV T5 is a 2U steel rackmount system that secures one or two Mac mini computers alongside a Thunderbolt 5 expansion module. It is built for audio, video and broadcast professionals who need reliable, road-ready integration of compact Macs into server-room racks or mobile production rigs.

Dual Thunderbolt 5 bandwidth up to 6000 MB/s

Each PCIe slot receives full 6000 MB/s bandwidth when connected to M4 Pro Mac minis, dropping to 2880 MB/s with Thunderbolt 4-equipped M4 models. This headroom lets two full-height, single-width DV I/O cards run simultaneously at line rate, while the enclosure’s front-to-back airflow preserves the Mac mini thermal design under sustained loads.

Thunderbolt 5 expansion with internal SSD bays

The system adds two PCIe card slots via Thunderbolt 5 and provides secure mounting for two Thunderbolt or USB SSDs beneath the Mac minis. It requires Mac mini units and PCIe cards supplied separately, freeing the builder from proprietary trays while delivering a ventilated, rack-compatible platform for high-bandwidth I/O workflows.

Questions about this item

Will my existing Thunderbolt 4 Mac mini still deliver full bandwidth to the PCIe cards in this 2U rackmount system?

With an M4 Mac mini using Thunderbolt 4 the system provides 2880 MB/s PCIe bandwidth per slot, which is lower than the 6000 MB/s available with an M4 Pro Mac mini on Thunderbolt 5.

How can I verify the expansion module is passing full 6000 MB/s bandwidth to both DV I/O cards after installation?

Connect two M4 Pro Mac minis via Thunderbolt 5 and run a PCIe bandwidth benchmark; each slot should report up to 6000 MB/s when the system is operating as intended.

Does the enclosure include the Mac minis and PCIe cards, or must I supply them separately?

The system includes the rackmount enclosure, mounting module and Echo II DV T5 expansion module; Mac minis and PCIe cards are sold separately.
