Channel Thunderbolt 3 PCIe case to Parallels virtual machine (Windows)

[SebastianK4]

Hi! I bought a Razer Core X, which is an external PCIe case with Thunderbolt 3 connection. I want to use it in combination with my virtual Windows installation (I have both Windows 7 and Windows 10 VMs) on my Macbook Pro 13" (late 2016, Touchbar). How do I channel it through to my Parallels VM?
FYI, I am currently not trying to use it for a eGPU, but rather have a PCIe digitizer card that I want to use within Windows.

Thanks,
Nino

Hi, indeed, Parallels Desktop supports Thunderbolt data storage disks but not other Thunderbolt devices (eGPUs are PCIe devices which cannot be connected directly to VM). However, you can use the resources of your eGPU in VM, please check these instructions

Dear Maria, thank you for your answer. Do you know when or if Parallels will support other Thunderbolt PCIe devices in the future?

Unfortunately we have no info about future features before the new update or new version has been released. But we will let you now once we have any information.
