I think that the EXP GDC only is capable of using PCIe x2. Make sure, you get a laptop with M keyed NGFF. You could solder a cable but do you know which pins you have to connect? If you just wonder how you could get your EXP GDC back working, use this: P15S-P15F Or something else that does the same: Converting NGFF to mPCIe. The NGFF to PCIe x4 adapter I found, really is capable of doing x4 3.0 Speeds. http://www.amazon.de/Express-PCI-E-Female-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00OQ1Y5E6 And it is the same adapter also available in US (just look at the numbers on the board): http://www.amazon.com/WBTUO-LM-141X-V1-0-Drive-Adapter-Desktop/dp/B00UKWWARY/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1427736012&sr=8-15&keywords=pcie+ngff+x4

#1: Actually there is an adapter for what we have bin searching: PCI-e 1X/4x Card to NGFF M.2 M Key PCIe Slot Adapter The only thing needed is an NGFF key M externder board with a 30cm cable to make it useful. #2: For the list of laptops with A keyed NGFF you can add the Lenovo Flex 2 14inch with i5 4100u, 4gb of RAM, 500gb SSHD, 1080p touchscreen display and without NVIDIA graphics. I read somewhere, that lenovo uses different boards on the Flex 2. That's why I posted the full specs of my laptop. #3: It also would be useful to get the pin description for NGFF. That way we can get the four lanes outside of the laptop for eGPU without SATA and USB. Edit: I just found out, that my laptop is with key A, not with M, sry ...

I already thought about this, but I would lose 3 PCIe Lanes.

Hey there, Does anyone know, where I can get a NGFF cable for the EXP GDC Beast? I only need the cable and I can only find the full set.

Hey there, i read a lot about eGPU stuff now and also want to use the EXP Beast Adapter with my Lenovo Flex 2 14". I made all pre-checks and came to the conclusion, that my ultrabook is almost perfect for using eGPU. My TOLUD is CFA00000 -> somewhere between 3,25gb and 3gb and I only have the HD4400 iGPU built in. But there are two tiny problems: 1.) I have to use the NGFF adapter cable but shipping from yoybuy.com is (in my opinion) too expensive to Germany. I would like to buy the mini PCIe version from banggoods.com and get the cable somewhere else (but where?). This would be also good to know in case I need a spare cable. If the power supply is included here, I would have one less problem because in this case I don't need to buy a XBox 360 PSU. 2.) This ultrabook has a bottom cover which I have to take off completely to access the NGFF slot. Does anyone know where to buy some kind of 90° adapter or flex cable for the NGFF slot that's not 40$? I think a radius of about 2cm is not enough space for the stock cable from EXP to make 90+°. Otherwise I cannot get the cable out of the laptop without making a hole into the bottom cover. At this point I say thank you and I'd be very happy if you can help me.
