The Thunderboltâ„¢ 3 Expansion Card enables high-speed data transfer to accelerate everyday tasks and applications. Video editing studios in particular can greatly benefit by being able to smoothly transfer, display and edit 4K videos in real-time. 

Streamlined Video Editing Collaboration
By using Thunderbolt™ 3 expansion cards, teamwork between Final Cut Pro® and Adobe Premiere Pro® users becomes faster and easier. With SMB protocol support, Final Cut Pro® users can create a library on a NAS volume and use it as if it were a local storage device. Every team member can centrally store video resources in the same NAS shared folder, greatly improving productivity for highly-collaborative projects in multi-workstation environments.
