I debated buying a new Mac due to its limited options for expandability.  This all changed when I found a way to not only rackmount my mac, but add PCIe express slots to add additional components like NVMe SSDs, video capture cards, dual 10 gig networking, and even testing a video card.

Thank you to Sonnet for sending this xMac Studio / Echo III / M.2 8×4 Silent Gen4 PCIe Card to help complete my video editing / software development machine!

Thinking about expanding your Mac/Windows/Linux machines?  Check out Sonnet!

Disclosures:

* I was not paid

* I chose Sonnet and contacted them after researching alternatives

* SSDs are on loan and will be sent back
