Works great for a DIY eGPU setup (stable on Linux/Kubuntu)
I bought this to build a DIY eGPU setup and it ended up working better than expected. I was able to connect an NVIDIA Quadro M4000 without any issues. My setup involves a PSU, this OCuLink adapter, and an OCuLink-to-NVMe adapter chain that I routed through an NVMe-to-USB-C enclosure and then connected into my laptop. Despite the number of adapters involved, the GPU was detected immediately on my system running Kubuntu Linux, and everything worked as expected. Once configured, the GPU showed up normally in Linux and performed reliably. I didn’t run into any major detection or stability issues during use, which is often a concern with DIY external GPU setups. This setup would likely be even simpler and more stable if used with a direct OCuLink port instead of chaining adapters like I did. Overall, it has been solid and reliable for my use case, and I’ve had no issues so far under Linux.
