3 questions about AVID HDX-1 TB3 chassis
 

Hi all - 3 questions about AVID HDX-1 TB3 chassis
AKA: Pro Tools | HDX Thunderbolt 3 Chassis - 1 slot sold by avid $499

Been web searching - looking for a user manual, reviews, anything..... slim info out there :confused:

one) so anyone using it and any thoughts? Does it "just work" ?

two) is there a fan in it? If yes, how loud is it? Yes I know there is a fan on the actual HDX card,

three) is it possible to use TWO of them at once ... on one (qualified) MacBookPro, thus making the laptop an HDX-2?

here is a link to it for those not familiar with it:

thanks:-)

p.s. on closer inspection of the AVID web page - it sure does look like 2 small fans lower right on this photo :eek:

anyone know how quiet they are?

thanks

Can't use 2 at same time. Hdx cards connect using a ribbon cable. There is a 3 slot tb3 box you can use I think for up to hdx3.

ah ok yes - silly me - of course... thanks. :-)

anyone know about fan noise, and how reliable the 1 HDX card version is?

Is this compatible with the original MTRX?

Re: 3 questions about AVID HDX-1 TB3 chassis
 

Yes, absolutely you can attach a flagship MTRX to an HDX TB3 chassis.

I have the single unit chassis and it works fine so far. I have had it about a year. Fan noise is negligible, but there is a pulse on start up and shut down. Its a powerful small space unit. I also have my Mac mini in the chassis as well.
