  • Just confirming, this wouldn't be backwards comnpatible with usb-c 3.0 right?

    • That's correct. I'm tempted but apparently heat can be an issue with these products, and I'd prefer a "name" brand one if that's a concern.

        Plastic outside and only tiny vent holes, this looks pretty toasty

        • Were you expecting a fan?

          • @Dienk: No, I was expecting the outer shell to be a metal heatsink like other brands.

            Good NVME drives can get very hot.

  • +3

    An internal heatsink without any way to actually radiate the heat away seems like a very bad design.

    Thanks! Been waiting for this to go on sale. Going to pair it up with a R43SG to create a cheap egpu solution

    • R43SG

      That's pretty neat actually. Does this provide enough power?

      • This part is to convert the R43SG's NVME connector to thunderbolt 3. You'd still need a power supply to power the GPU itself.

        • I'd just be concerned that GPUs can draw up to 75W through the PCIe slot alone before adding 6/8 pins

          • @Merlict: Admittedly, I'm only following ideas from egpu.io. I imagine that a decent power supply can feed power to both the R43SG PCIe slot as well as the rest of the GPUs power requirement?

            • @paopapa: Ah looking closer it has an ATX power in socket, yeah that should be fine.

        • +2

          Yeah the R43SG doesn't draw power through thunderbolt. It's all powered by connecting a PSU to the R43SG and GPU. The T3-NVME would only be for data transfer.

    • Interesting concept is this a theory or you've read/seen other people do this already?

      • +1

        Very much something that people do. You can find many examples of it on egpu.io

    Your drive would roast inside that thing if you are doing longer file transfers.
