The Lightning LTNG-XQ-8-RM is a quad (4) slot Thunderbolt 2 to PCIe adapter with an internal hardware (6Gb SAS) RAID controller built-in, occupying one slot, in an easy to install rack mount. The product features four total (3 usable) x16 full-height/full-length PCIe slots (x4 electrically) to accommodate a broad range of compatible PCIe cards, including powerful graphics cards; unique in its implementation of dual internal TB2 bridge controllers providing two separate 20Gb/s Thunderbolt connections to its host computer, the LTNG-XQ-8-RM includes an internal 460W power supply and quiet but powerful cooling system and complete rack mounting kit which allows the unit to "slide out" of its docking. The internal 8 disk (SSD, hybrid or rotating) drive-ready RAID subsystem can provide data transfers of >1300 MB/s using SSDs.
