mLink enables PCIe adapter cards (video capture cards, RAID controllers, host bus adapters, SSDs, etc.) to be attached to Thunderbolt-equipped computers.

mLink Highlights:

• Links PCIe cards with Thunderbolt-aware drivers to computers with a Thunderbolt port
• Two Thunderbolt ports for daisy-chaining of up to six Thunderbolt peripherals
• Small and sleek desktop form factor

"I am thrilled to have partnered with recognized leaders in the content creation industry to showcase our new mLink at NAB 2012," said Roger Mabon, CEO of mLogic. "Using mLink, PCIe cards such as Fibre Channel HBAs, 10GbE NICs and RAID controllers can be linked to Thunderbolt-equipped portable computers like the MacBook Pro. No more big-iron desktops required."
