This has a PCIe x1 if I gather correctly. Not sure how would you attach a USB C chip to that.
Speaking of, I really would love if someone assembled a tiny computer with an USB C socket on one end and an M.2 key M (just PCIe 2.0 x2 is enough) with a simple copying firmware thus creating an external enclosure for M.2 key M disks. As Intel does not allow selling Thunderbolt enclosures empty there really is no other way. But, this could work and while 10 gbps is not the fastest, it's still quite a bit faster than 6 gbps SATA... Right now, the cheapest you can get is the BOXNUC7I3BNK and then probably run networking over Thunderbolt which is stupidly limited to 10gbps as well...
