Magma ExpressBox1 is an easy-to-use device for attaching a "desktop-only" PCI Express (PCI-E) card to a laptop. This capability allows a user to combine the power of a desktop and the mobility of a laptop into a powerful, flexible, mobile workstation. For example, a user can turn a typical, middle-of-the-road laptop into a powerful gaming, scientific computer or audio and video editing workstation by simply adding the right PCI Express card to ExpressBox1 then connecting to a laptop.


No latency, 2000Mbps, Faster than USB and Firewire

Based on new PCI Express® technology, ExpressBox1 provides a no latency connectivity solution with a theoretical maximum throughput of 2000Mbps (or 250 MegaBytes per second) each direction... That's 2.5 times faster than Firewire 800 and 4.1 times the speed of USB 2.0!

Magma ExpressBox1 (Model EB1H) weighs only 2.8 pounds and supports cards up to 6.604 inches long”. Magma ExpressBox1 Pro (Model EB1F) weighs only 4.3 pounds and can support cards up to 12.283 inches long.

• Attaches to laptop through ExpressCard/34 module and PCI Express cable

• Supports full-size or shorter PCI-E cards that require up to 55 watts of
   continuous power

• No latency expansion solution providing 2000mbps (250MB/sec) throughput

• Unique “flip open” lid provides quick access to PCI Express card installed
   inside enclosure

• Provides dedicated power and cooling for PCI Express cards

• Includes vertical stand and rack-mount bracket

• Supported by the most popular platforms: Windows XP, Vista and MacOS X

• RoHS Compliant


Attention Gamers and GPU Gurus!

Magma ExpressBox1 is designed for "single-width" graphics cards that require no more than 55 watts of power. "Double-wide" graphics cards or cards that require auxiliary power will be compatible with the next generation Magma ExpressBox expected later this year.

FOR WINDOWS VISTA: It is best to use a laptop with ATI graphics technology paired with an external ATI graphics card.

FOR MACOS X: You must use the Nvidia 7300GT card. The ATI Radeon x1900XT and Nvidia Quadro FX 4500 are "double-wide" cards and will not physically fit into Magma ExpressBox1.
