Thanks to the Sonnet Echo Express SE I device, you can connect a full-profile or low-profile PCIe card + an additional "daughter" card attached to the PCIe card to a computer with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 2* ports running macOS or Windows.
The latest ultra-light notebooks are characterized by small sizes. Mac®, Windows® (1) and Linux® multifunctional computers with Thunderbolt ™ 3 or Thunderbolt 2* ports are slim engineering marvels that have nowhere to install a PCIe card, thus providing additional connectivity and processing capabilities.
The Sonnet Echo™ Express SE I is a compact, desktop Thunderbolt™3 or Thunderbolt 2* to PCIe expansion system that allows you to connect a full-profile or low-profile PCIe card to any computer with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 2* ports.
*To connect via the Thunderbolt 2 port, a TB3 to TB 2 adapter is required, which is not included with the device. Not all cards compatible with your device will work with the Thunderbolt 2 port.

Echo Express SE I: Compact expansion with one PCIe card
Echo Express SE I provides one PCIe card expansion slot in a compact and lightweight form factor. Designed to accommodate a card up to 7.75" long by 5.6" wide by 8.6" long by 3.5" high. Echo Express SE I takes up little space but is large enough to support almost all available Thunderbolt 3-compatible PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 1.1 cards.
Connect one full-height, half-length+ PCIe card (Add-in Card Plus) to computers with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports
Are you looking for a new computer? It's amazing how much processing power the latest Mac® and Windows® and Linux® computers with Thunderbolt™ ports offer, but the thinness comes with limitations - there's no way to install PCIe cards for additional connectivity and processing capabilities beyond what's on offer standard computer ports. Sonnet Echo™ Express SE I (Thunderbolt 3 Edition) is a compact desktop Thunderbolt™ to PCIe card expansion system that allows you to connect a single PCIe card to any computer with Thunderbolt 3 or Thunderbolt 4 ports
Key Features:
