Looks like they just route 17 PCI-E lanes out of the chassis by shoving a 16x and a 1x slot next to each other. Not the best, but hackable.
Just would rather pay for an expensive device that I can use with other devices like a laptop or future mini pc. Not super interested in hacking.
It's a proprietary edge connector that connects the dock and the mini PC, but it carries standard PCIe, so it's at least twice as fast as Thunderbolt.
To me all of these Mini PCs are essentially uselessly uninteresting without fast network connectivity. When is an actual vendor that is not Quotom or whatever ship one with 10GBaseT or SFP+/SFP28 ports already?
