    Thanks! Here's pictures of the full build for reference: One little word of advise with those cases; they tend to have some pretty sharp edges inside. Get some grommet edging ('grommet strip') if you get one of them, it'll save both cables and fingers. You can see what I mean surrounding the...

    AFAIK it might just be out of stock? Could be worth contacting them to see if they are going to restock soon. The NSC-810 and 810A were released after I got it and might be a bit more convenient. The 810 takes a mini-ITX board and doesn't need a flex riser, while the 810A can handle micro ATX...

    It's actually designed for the U-NAS NSC-800, but should work in any other situation where you want to run a low-profile x8 card and still use the rest of the lanes. It's a tiny NAS case that fits a mini-itx motherboard and 8x 3.5" drives. The bifurcating riser is connected to the...

    C_Payne, I received the x8/m.2/m.2 riser and put it through its paces. It works beautifully! Full passthrough for pcie x8 and a pair of m.2s in a low profile footprint. It's a work of art.

    Quick question I haven't found an answer to yet. On a bifurcated bus, do all the lanes have to be at the same speed or does it negotiate them independently? (ex. in x8/x4/x4, with a pcie 2.0 x8 card and a pair of pcie 3.0 x4 cards, will it run everything at pcie 2.0 speeds?)

    C_Payne by any chance, would you happen to have already designed an x8/x4/x4 low-profile adapter? Something like your earlier x4/x4 attempt but with an m.2 slot on either side of the PCB (or a 'double stack' m.2) and the x8 'inline' slot at the top? Unfortunately the x8/x4/x4 variant on your...

    Eyeballing it, that's not just a non-standard pcie pinout, that's not a pcie connector at all. The 'short' stub is the wrong way around and in normal pcie it should be mainly carrying 12V, while the two extra wide power traces at positions 20-21 and 24-25 are where some of the pcie data lanes...

    I've been following this thread for a while and with those it's like C_Payne read my Christmas list. :D Would you happen to have any plans for a 'split' version of (2x oculink 8i to pcie x8) with only a single Oculink 8i to pcie x8? Or how much trouble would it be to get a NCase M1 x8x4x4...
