Question about OWC Akitio Node Titan

The OWC Akitio Node Titan is a Thunderbolt 3-based PCIe enclosure designed primarily for connection to Thunderbolt 3-capable computers to operate external graphics cards (eGPUs). A direct connection and operation on a QNAP NAS such as the TS-451+ is not intended, as QNAP NAS systems generally do not support a Thunderbolt 3 interface for eGPU enclosures and the compatibility of such external PCIe enclosures with NAS systems is not given.

In terms of graphics card compatibility, the enclosure supports a wide range of AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards, including older models such as the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1090Ti as well as newer cards. The case has a powerful 650W power supply unit, which can also easily supply power-hungry cards such as the Radeon RX Vega 64. The compatibility list includes over 1200 GPUs, which allows a very high degree of flexibility in the choice of graphics card.

To summarise:
- The enclosure is not compatible for operation on a QNAP NAS such as the TS-451+, as these systems do not offer Thunderbolt 3 eGPU support.
- Older and newer graphics cards, including the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1090Ti, can be operated in the enclosure thanks to the extensive GPU compatibility and strong power supply.
