  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.

  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

    Merlict on 14/10/2020 - 17:02

    R43SG

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

    • 

      paopapa on 14/10/2020 - 17:06

      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.

      • 

        Merlict on 14/10/2020 - 17:26

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

        • 

          paopapa on 14/10/2020 - 17:44

          @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?

          • 

            Merlict on 14/10/2020 - 19:08

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

        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?

      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.
