Another option is to put the nic inside a tb3 pcie enclosure and connect that. There are 4 thunderbolt ports.
- antattack 4y agoFrom 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.html https://www.delock.com/produkt/64131/merkmale.html If adapter is possible we could use 4 port gig adapter for a nice pfsense/opnsense router or a VM server.
