Rackmount System Supports Mac Minis And Thunderbolt-to-PCIe Expansion

by Mat Dirjish

Sonnet’s xMac mini (2024+) modular rackmount system offers support for Apple Mac mini computers and provides Echo Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expansion capabilities. Purpose-built for professional workflow expansion, the modular systems fit into standard 19-inch equipment racks. They combine a 2U rackmount enclosure, mounting module for one or two Mac mini computers, and an optional Echo PCIe card expansion module that connects two or three full-height, full-depth PCIe cards via one or two Thunderbolt cables.

According to Sonnet, Mac minis powered by M4 and M4 Pro, deliver exceptional performance in a compact, affordable form factor. However, professional users in audio, video, and broadcast production often need secure rackmount installation, additional connectivity, and PCIe expansion for high-end interfaces, DSP, and specialized workflow cards.

The xMac mini (2024+) family enables pros to:

  • Rackmount one or two Mac mini computers in half of a 2U steel enclosure.
  • Expand workflows with PCIe card integration via Thunderbolt.
  • Enjoy quiet operation, reliable cooling, and modular upgrade flexibility.

Briefly put, xMac mini (2024+) Systems transform Mac mini computers into professional-grade rackmount solutions that are compact, rugged, and ready for demanding creative environments.
