System Requirements
While the Echo Express SE I chassis requires no drivers, the
expansion card you install does; Thunderbolt-compatible drivers
to enable it to work properly through the Thunderbolt interface
are required. More information on which cards are compatible
with Echo Express SE I is available at:

* To support more than two PCIe controllers, Windows requires a
Thunderbolt 2 interface in both the computer and the expansion
chassis. Note that some PCIe cards have a bridge to multiple
controllers, so it is possible for a single dual-controller PCIe card to
reach the limit if not connected via Thunderbolt 2. Not all Mac-
compatible PCIe cards are also compatible with Windows.
