If i used this for adaptec raid controller, will performance be the same as if installed on the server motherboard?

We expect the Adaptec RAID controllers to have an adequate cache to support Thunderbolt performance that is similar to motherboard performance.

Is it possible to use it with pro tools hdn card and aja lhi, with a new macstudio?

Hello Michael, The ProTools HDX card does not fit in the Echo Express SEIIIe. You would need an Echo III, which supports the full-length HDX card and works with the M1 Macs.

Will this work with older server class sas/sata raid cards - specifically lsilogic sas9260 or other cards from that generation?

You would have to ask the card maker whether their driver is Thunderbolt compatible, which usually means that the driver needs to gracefully handle hot plug/unplug. Drivers that cannot handle hot plug/unplug may still work if you plug/unplug the Thunderbolt chassis from the computer only when the computer is shut down.

Will this work on a Dell PC?

Thunderbolt drivers are provided by Intel, so yes, it should work
