StarTech 4PCIE-PCIE-ENCLOSURE 4 Slot PCIe Expansion Chassis

overview

The StarTech 4PCIE‑PCIE‑ENCLOSURE is an external PCIe expansion chassis that adds four PCIe x1 slots to desktops or servers via a proprietary PCIe 2.0 x2 USB‑C host card, enabling additional I/O cards (USB, network, fiber, serial) without opening or redesigning the host system. It delivers up to 10 Gbps aggregate throughput between host and enclosure, supports full‑length cards, and operates OS‑independently on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Use for rack/workstation expansion where onboard slots are limited; not suitable for GPU expansion or high‑lane requirement devices. Specifications verified from StarTech technical sources and authorized distributors.
