Could this work on the i9? I have seen many do it on bad laptops with great results using mini PCI-E.
So i wondered if this could be possible on the i9 seeing has it has that extra m2?
Here is a guy who has done it on his Intel NUC. http://imgur.com/a/JHoIy
And here is a link to a m2 to PCI-E x4 http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V4.1.htmlIf someone were to try this, please let me know 🙂

Ordered and waiting for my: BMAX S15 & Teclast F6 Plus
Currently testing: LG G8X & Redmi K30April 5, 2016 at 10:03 pm #32196Chris: The reason the SSD didn’t work is likely because SATA is not exposed through that other port.
I don’t think Cube would bother to block PCIe cards other than LTE modems, but since the modem is a low-bandwidth device, it’d be interesting to see if they routed all four lanes.
April 6, 2016 at 9:58 am #32252For my part if something like this would work i would cut a rectangular hole in the back of the tablet for a more quick connect possibility. It wouldnt look to bad either seeing as the hole would be behind the kickstand?
if the USB-C on the tablet were supported by thunderbolt 3 then that off course would be the best option for eGPU.

did anybody tried a lte modem
its driving me insane that second m2 port.
i,ve been looking for lte modems but i can’t understand where the ipx cable must be connected.
i dont have a lot of experience.
i am Ravi by the way, nice to meet you guys.
April 8, 2016 at 5:51 pm #32706I wonder if one could install proper AC wireless NIC into that second slot..
April 10, 2016 at 4:58 pm #32939Welcome Rawie!!
The IPX connector is always on the 3g/LTE modem.
I found a modem on amazon without sim slot.
You can clearly see the IPX connector on the modem in the amazon pictures.Currently the LTE Modems are pretty expensive.

Aliexpress is a relliable site i order all the time
Thanks for the reply anyway
April 10, 2016 at 5:05 pm #32941I Always see a main Port and GPS and sometimes aux
Where do those cables go.
April 11, 2016 at 7:31 pm #33072The antenna should be in the top plastic part.
The metal housing will act like a faraday cage and block a lot of the signal.
When I get my cube I will take a look if there is enough place!June 17, 2018 at 1:39 am #143939Well, since the Type c port has the option to turn thunderbolt on in the bios. And the type c is a 3.1 connection.
Does that make it a thunderbolt 3 connection.
(Kind of new to technology so sorry for the dumb question)
