Is PCIe-8361 compatible with the Thunderbolt technology? Is there a chance PCIe-8361 board is going to work with Echo Express SE I (Thunderbolt 3 Edition) or similar product? My understanding was that perhaps any PCIe board should work with adapter like the one from Sonnet Tech until I read the specification bellow...
For PCIe card expansion products, there is an additional requirement that each PCIe card's driver must also be compatible with Thunderbolt technology. PCIe cards' Thunderbolt compatibility requirements include: 1) the card driver must enable the correct card ID to be recognized over Thunderbolt, and 2) it must properly support hot-plug/unplug, recover from sleep, etc. as defined in the Thunderbolt device interconnect paradigm.
