Today we will take a quick look at the Zotac AMP Box Mini with an Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Card installed with a Patriot Hellfire M.2 PCIE SSD. The AMP Box Mini is an external enclosure featuring a Thunderbolt 3 connection (upto 40Gbps) as well as USB 3.1 Gen2 support (10Gbps). It’s compatible with all PCIE add-on cards including graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 10 series (as an external GPU – pictured below) or PCIE SSDs (as an external storage device).

Unfortunately, we were unable to fully test the Thunderbolt 3 and video performance of the Zotac AMP Box Mini fitted with a GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) graphics card. My PC system sees the graphics card, but fails to establish it as a primary graphics card. Apparently, having the Zotac AMP Box Mini as an external GPU is best configured and run on MacOS/MacBooks.
