Shill me some TB3 eGPU housings.

I have a MBP 2016 13" with i5/8GB, so only two thunderbolt ports. One port will be power, the other eGPU. Are there any housings that have a second tb3 port to daisy chain an SSD into it as well?

Which eGPU housings seem to be best performing?

Edit to add - leaning towards an Akitio node at the moment

Oh hai. Egpu you say? I may be selling my Sonnet if you’re interested?

I’ve done a fair bit of research and had about 5 different set ups, feel free to ask any questions...

I'm in straya at the moment, so bit far for postage =S.

Ideally I'd like to store bootcamp externally to the egpu - looks like the HP Omen accelerator could fit the bill well. It has one TB3 port, but has space for an SSD as well. Only question is if the macbook will recognise the SSD at boot!
