MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock
Overview
The MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock is the most affordable OCuLink external GPU enclosure on the market at $109.90, designed for MINISFORUM mini PC owners and OCuLink-equipped handheld gaming PCs who want to add a full-size desktop GPU via PCIe 4.0 x4 (64Gbps). The slim enclosure houses a PCIe x16 slot (electrical x4) and supports user-supplied ATX or SFX power supplies, keeping the cost low while delivering near-native GPU bandwidth through the OCuLink SFF-8612 interface. Note that hot-plug is not supported — the host must be powered off to connect or disconnect the OCuLink cable — and the follow-start auto-power feature is only guaranteed with MINISFORUM hardware and original cables.
