Customer Reviews
Back to top
I ordered the AKiTiO Node Titan because of its solid, all metal construction; clean looks; and the good reputation I've always believed OWC to have. My 3-star rating has nothing to do with the quality of the product. The AKiTiO Node Titan itself is a fantastic eGPU. However, my unit did not come with the advertised Thunderbolt cable in the box, which is the reason for my mediocre star rating. For whatever reason this snuck past quality control. I emailed OWC support and they asked me to send them pictures of the packaging etc. so that they could verify that there indeed was no cable in the box. The process, from contacting support to receiving the cable that should've been in the box from the start, took two weeks. That was the disappointment with this purchase.
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Great look, fans noisy, and PCI slot don't have pop-outs for wider GPU, and creates obstruction for ventilation.
