MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock
eGPU Gaming, AI Development, Mini PC GPU Expansion, Handheld Gaming Docking
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.
