BitBastelei #685 - DIY eGPU: M.2 NVME ist auch nur PCIe

IT devices are becoming increasingly difficult to upgrade. While in the past, sound, graphics, networking, and much more could be easily replaced or retrofitted, many mini-PCs and laptops don't appear to offer these options at first glance. But that's only at first glance, because the necessary PCIe bus can be accessed from the device in various ways. In the consumer market, for example, eGPUs connected via Thunderbolt are common. Unfortunately, such systems are quite expensive. However, there is another port where PCIe can be accessed: the M.2 slot, which is used for devices such as WLAN cards or NVMe SSDs. ``` Contents: 00:00 The Victim 02:42 Functional Test 07:30 Linux Boot 09:16 lspci & plan 13:22 PCIe instead of WLAN 17:40 PCIe instead of NVMe 20:28 External RTX3060 24:28 Performance Tests 25:38 Conclusion Errors and Additions: 13:58 12V should actually be sufficient 23:24 Nope, it's a Debian Trixie, not Linux Mint Transparency: The adapters were purchased and paid for by myself.
