Topic: RME Multiface II and Mac Studio

Hey everyone,

I'm a proud Multiface II owner (I have two!) and I'll be upgrading my Mac Pro 5,1 to a Mac Studio, which obviously doesn't have PCIe slots. Will this enclosure work? I'd rather go this route than buy a whole new interface.

As it is pretty expensive I would ask for refund option if it fails.
Try before buy.
I think it will work but who knows...

It should work. But I would do a research via Google first as there are signifcantly cheaper Thunderbolt PCIe Expansion chassis available, from various manufacturers.

I would also suggest a different product as this one also can be used for video cards and has way more power than needed for a non video card. I had good results with either this:

or this one (if you also need room for another card):
