New low profile risers including M.2 and U.2

[chx]

I have found a new company which sells very interesting risers including one that connects an x4 slot directly to an NVMe SSD: http://vary.technology/product/RP77.html there are of course PCIe to PCIe risers as well.

I have contacted the company because the photos and renders didn't really reflect how well such a cable would behave in a space restricted case and http://imgur.com/a/RKQn8 this album is what they sent.

Currently it's available on Japanese Amazon and taobao but they said an amazon.com store will be opened at the end of March.

Very, very interesting. I was looking for one of these to help alleviate some of the heat issues I was having with a PCIe NVME M.2 drive in the Ncase M1. I'll be keeping an eye out for further availability.

Now if they can just make a u.2 to pcie cable the other way around (plugs into u.2 on motherboard and gives me another pcie slot)

That's available http://www.microsatacables.com/u2-sff8639-to-pcie-4-lane-adapter-sff-993-u2-4l here. But also see http://vary.technology/product/RP44.html here , there's a variant http://vary.technology/Uploads/58a926f7d94b7.jpg which goes from m.2 to PCIe x4 directly.

I dont see those fitting in my ncase m1. the first one is perfect, but its too big to fit with a gpu also.
