That was my worry too. That flat cable (looks a bit like the IDE ones of old) might also be short and awkward to manage in a tight case. I was wondering if it could be replaced with something of higher quality, but that might be too niche.

So let's assume a single usable PCIe Gen2 lane. According to Wikipedia says that should be 0.500 GB/s. I assume that is GByte/s, not GBit. 2.5GBit/s would be ~0.3125 GB/s. All calculations w/o overhead etc. Shouldn't that be sufficient? And according to the Deskmini X300's manual, the NVMe slots...

I probably just use the wrong search terms, but I cannot find good definitive info regarding the E-Key bandwidth. Which PCIe version at which factor should it support? Does that depend on the CPU? (I found some reviews on Aliexpress and Amazon mentioning 270-280Mb/s, but of course I cannot...

It would make sense for me a second NIC (and a faster one!) would allow for either faster (simultaneous) transfers from/to my NAS, or segregation of networks for certain VMs/containers. Would be cool. But as I have zero experience with 3D modeling, it would be much preferable if I could...

I would love to find a way to integrate one of these in the Desknano: I read it should fit in the WiFi card slot, but I find no spot where the ethernet port could go. Any ideas? I haven't bought it yet, so I don't have the dimensions.

Thanks. I found it, but it is either out of stock, not shipped to Germany or both. I might try to reactivate my soldering skills with two of these (https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005003595937109.html) or I could check if I could fit something like this somewhere...

"Sorry, this item's currently unavailable in your location." :-( Could someone post a photo for visual comparison?

Unfortunately, that link doesn't work, at least not here in Germany. Is the header on the mobo in standard USB 2.0 pitch? Something like this (https://de.aliexpress.com/i/1005005426984866.html) could be interesting, but I'm not sure how to fixate it... P.S.: The local maker space has a Prusa...

I can't seem to edit my post, and it looks broken. I mean this kind of card:

This whole project is a thing of beauty. For the first time, I'm interested in dabbling in 3D printing. My rig is both a NAS (4*4TB SSDs) and home server (Home Assistant OS, ADSB feeder, Jellyfin server etc.). My main gripe is with the temps for rear SSDs. If - which admittedly doesn't happen...

I agree that shouldn't happen. I thought the cable was maybe damaged, but a new one did not change this. Without the side USB, the little box performs very well though.

I have a similar issue. I bought a used A300 w/ Athlon 200GE, 16GB RAM and the side USB connectors. As soon as I have a USB memory stick in the side port, the Deskmini will no longer boot. It won't even go to BIOS (3.60S). A Zigbee USB dongle is no issue... Did you ever resolve this?
