TB31PCIEX16 does not work with graphics cards. Atha, StarTech.com Support

Q: Will this work with usb-c? i have a 2u pc and want to add a full height graphics card externally to my 2u rackmount case.

No, Thunderbolt 3 devices like the TB31PCIEX16 require a Thunderbolt 3 port on the host PC, they are not compatible with simple USB-C devices. Matt, StarTech.com Support

Q: Will this work with blackmagic design bm-bdlkdvqdhdmi4k pcie video capturing device - and can i output into usb-c on my dell g5?

Thunderbolt is not USB C. USB C is a connector used by USB 3.x and by Thunderbolt 3/4. You must have a Thunderbolt 3/4 port on your computer.

Q: I'm trying to use a pci-e x1 scsi card in this enclosure and am encountering errors. the same card works in a pc. is this not supported?

This is not a known incompatibility with the TB31PCIEX16. We'd be happy to look into this further with you. Please contact us at 1-800-265-1844 where our Technical Advisors are available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week to provide support. Matt, StarTech.com Support
