Originally, I had got this to use with a PCIex 1394 Firewire Card to use with my 13th Gen Intel I7 Lenovo Computer, Now I can't even do that which SUX!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ No fue lo que esperaba *by M***. on Reviewed in Mexico on 17 October 2022* Esperaba que pudiera ser compatible con una GPU pero no es compatible y ahora no la puedo regresar, y necesito darle otro uso. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ très bon matériel *by R***O on Reviewed in France on 13 December 2023* Reçu rapidement et fonctionne très bien. Ne chauffe pas et prise en charge de la carte vidéo sans problème. Raccordé sur un mini ordinateur sur sa prise thunderbolt 4, tout fonctionne parfaitement. ## Frequently Bought Together - OWC Mercury Helios 3S Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Solution - Cable Matters [Intel Certified] 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 Cable 3.3ft with 8K Video and 240W Charging - 1m, Compatible with USB4, Thunderbolt 3 Cable and USB-C --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/464772511-owc-mercury-helios-3s-thunderbolt-3-pcie-expansion-solution](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/464772511-owc-mercury-helios-3s-thunderbolt-3-pcie-expansion-solution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
