top | item 31090884 (no title) antattack | 3 years ago Will BIOS support PCIe network card (with PCIe extender) connected to PCIe port? How many lines is it? discuss order hn newest moondev|3 years ago It's a laptop mainboard, there is no PCIe slot. Or do you mean nvme -> PCIe adaptor?Another option is to put the nic inside a tb3 pcie enclosure and connect that. There are 4 thunderbolt ports. antattack|3 years ago From what I could find tb3 to PCIe is very expensive. NVME is basically a protocol on top of PCIe with m.2 connector.Here's an example of m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter: https://www.delock.com/produkt/64131/merkmale.htmlIf adapter is possible we could use 4 port gig adapter for a nice pfsense/opnsense router or a VM server. load replies (1)
