ASHATA Solid State Drive Extension Cable for PCI-E 3.0 x4 Full Speed Extension Cable for M.2 NVMe SSD, 20cm M.2 NVMe SSD

Product Information

The same goes for the latest Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E technologies, the current fastest flavors of Wi-Fi. If you recently bought a new router that supports these standards, you'll certainly want to make sure any range extenders support them as well. The P14S-P14FP adapter has a Key B interfaces which is available on all 5th gen NUCs. It converts the M.2 slot to a PCIe X4 slot where you can insert your PCIe network adapter.

For the first test I am using a network adapter with an Intel 82576 chipset. This is fully supported with ESXi so I do not have any driver issues. If your ESXi does not detect the card you should verify that the NUC has detected it in the BIOS (Devices > PCI). If the card as been detected, you probably have a driver issue in your ESXi.My NUC currently runs with VMware ESXi 6.0.0 build-2494585 ( Setup Howto). The card has been detected without any further modification. When shopping for a range extender, it's important to find one that matches your router's specs. For example, if you have a dual-band AC1900 router, get a dual-band AC1900 extender (or better). If your router supports Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) data streaming, which provides enhanced performance by sending data to compatible clients simultaneously rather than sequentially, look for an extender that supports this technology if you want to extend your MU-MIMO network.

Once fully booted off of the microSD I had to install gnome-disk-util and start it up. I really wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of numbers, but I figured it would top out somewhere short of SATA speeds. The 660p has both read and write speeds of up to 1,800MB/s. I was sure that the RK3399 would be far from saturating it, though, because that’s a lot of throughput.

With so many of us working from home these days, we now have more apps than ever careening across our household Wi-Fi networks. And some of these require not only a good amount of bandwidth, but steady bandwidth. When they don't have it, that chat you're having with your boss on your company's voice over IP (VoIP) phone system suddenly sounds like you're underwater. The same goes for many consumer-grade apps, especially video streaming services like Netflix, and certainly the latest games. I have then attempted to use a combo adapter which uses USB for bluetooth and PCIe for wi-fi. Interestingly, only the USB bluetooth adapter is detected and not the wifi adapter that is using the PCIe interface.

To sum things up - I know for fact that there is a functional PCIe lane in the M.2 port. The adapter fits. Power and USB work, PCIe doesn't. Intel refuse to provide support and claim that the product was not intended to be used in this configuration. Maximum numbers of M.2 SSD support will vary, depending on different CPU specs and PCIe bifurcation settings in different ASUS motherboards.

Now, this isn’t all just CPU power, the Debian spin is very optimized for this board and has many unnecessary bits removed (which is a must when you’re running on an SD card). So, there’s more than just blazing storage going on here. It’s the combination of lightning-fast storage and, just as importantly, a well-optimized system.
