People, if you’re using such adapters be sure that you can check for PCIe Bus Errors, i. e. that the adapted PCIe Interface and BIOS support PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER). PCIe lanes coming directly from a CPU typically support PCIe AER, PCIe lanes generated by a chipset might not. The problems caused by failing signal integrity with PCIe Devices are very, very diverse.
Yeah, the IcyDocks are fantastic. I got one for NVME drives and its fast and easy to hook up to a SFF system with a spare M.2 . It is a little over priced though. They would be perfect at half the price.
I'd love to see some standardization regarding external pcie connectivity. Right now we have TB, Occulink (x4 and x8 kinds), U.2 over few types of SFF cables and probably few others.
I'm using a Occulink/M.2 adapter with a Dell 7090 SFF running a 6800XT and can play just about any modern game. Use a PCIe M.2 adapter as a riser and then the occulink cable can be run out the back of your PC.
Is there such a thing as an ethernet switch that has an oculink uplink? I was thinking it would allow a few high speed devices simultaineously share that 64gb path to a nas.
What I'd like to see is a drive box with 6 or 8 3.5" drive slots and a LSI card. that way you can start with a low end system and upgrade - rather than having a USB connection use Oculink
It sadly doesn't work like thunderbolt, you can't bridge two computers with it, though you could install a 25 gigabit card on each and connect them if you wanted to
You can have a PCIe to PCIe connection between two computers, but generally you would use a PCIe switch. Not directly. That's the technology that Liqid uses. It allows one system to access another systems resources (like a graphics card), with similar speed and latency as if it was in the same case. It is called composable infrastructure. It allows you to reconfigure hardware after needs, without actually rebuilding the systems.
?WHY? I own a Mini-PC with Oculink - so I don't need this adapter. But I don't need the built-in Oculink either, it's just there - and it is completely unnecessarily! Imagine the setup: Mini-PC, Oculink extender with a graphics card (probably with its own power supply unit...), USB extender and a power supply unit? A huge mess on the workplace. Please consider: WHO WOULD WANT SUCH A THING? What I would like to have is a PC in a compact case (maybe 3x the size of a Mini-PC, but high enough to fit a graphics card within), with a built-in power supply, 4 x HDMI and 4 x DP (8 connectors, for a total of 4 monitors - never worry about what graphics cable you take along...), 12 x USB3.0, 4 to 6 USB-C, 1x10GB 1 x 2.5GB network. This would result in a tidy workstation and thermal problems would be much easier to solve than in a Mini-PC!
This is not the future, here will you have Thunderbolt 5, all new Macbook with M4 Pro CPU and also some PC's already have Thunderbolt 5. It gives you 120Gbit bandwith, 80GBit bidirectional.
He was all over the place with the various connection types, cables and esp speeds. I understand this stuff and had a hard time keeping up. Fortunately it all boils down to "how to use a $5 cable to create a very fast connection to a PC which didn't initially come with said connection".
Actually on this channel nicker is used as universal currency indicator for any decent currency (GBP, EUR, USD) as in terms of PC electronics this is usually how the items are priced despite their FX rates are not 1:1.

Pci bus errors are the new irq Russian roulette 😊
Icy dock makes some 5.25 bay adapters that utilize oculink ports

i'm hoping to see if something like this can be fit inside a gen3 lockerstore to add graphics to install truenas and run plex

Using, for example, the PCI adapter and adding a GFX card via occulink would that be beneficial to NAS media transcoding?
Need to see you plug this in to an Asustor Gen 3 or Flashstor with Ryzen and see if you can make up for the lack of GPU.....

Does it work with Apple Silicon with any m2 thunderbolt adapter ?
pcie 4.0 nvme to oculink solution might need redriver
Would it work to install one on my nas and one in my pc to have a direct connection rather than going through my switch?

Isn't 64 gigabit equal to 8 gigabyte bandwidth?
Yes, it is.
Oh so that's where the N305 went... into NAS motherboards o.o
audio clipping still a thing it seems.
OFFS, please stop using Bytes, it's for stortage and your bloody 10X multiplication rathern than the correct 8x just is lazy.
Dodgy audio?

How exactly are you going to use that in a mini-PC? You would have to cut a hole on the chassis.
some mini pc cases have small plates that can be easily pull off in their backpanel
Isn't 64Gb/s

Happy New year in 2025
No idea what he's talking about.. Anything in simple English?
Convert any m2 nvme slot into oculink port

Why does he keep using the "N" word?👀🙋🏾♂
hahaha he's actually saying "nicker" which is British slang for their currency

Thanks for clarifying that one for me @nitrobear and @vitoswat - won't lie, the OG comment made me stop like a brick wall! Have a great weekend chaps
@@nascompares Ahh, thanks. I feel embarrassed now.😞 My bad!
@@nascompares hahaha no worries!! thanks for the video \o/ I may grab one of these for my WTR Pro
Long-winded 💤
