I would, but who knows how long that will be. The keynote's tonight actually, and although I highly doubt it, hardware could be unveiled. Also, why would you not consider USB 3.0 as an option? The PE4C V4.1 has a maximum speed of 5Gb/s, which matches USB 3.0's transfer rate. As far as I'm aware, the PCIe to ExpressCard solution to Sonnet Echo Pro ExpressCard/34 to Thunderbolt Adapter would run at the exact same speed. The person who attached the M.2 to PCIe X2 Edge Extender Board to his NUC said that it was only a 50% performance loss at x2 PCIe 1.1 with a specific throughput of (Up to 2.5Gpbs). So I expect that performance loss to at least somewhat decrease with double the amount of throughput, which is more than enough for my needs. Considering I'm going to be using this MacBook for a while, taking it travelling with me next year, I'm just looking for a short term solution (about a year), and considering the total cost of this solution would only be ~200 USD, I think it would be reasonable for my needs. I'm not after an incredible amount of power, just enough to power a couple 1440p monitors.

Hey there! I've been doing extensive research over the past few days, looking for a solution to my, 2016 MacBook retina problems. As you probably know, it has a single USB-C port. It is a 3.1 port, not a TB3 port, and therefore I'm unable to connect something such as the Razer Core to it. Now, I've been looking far and wide over the net, and have not come across an answer to this question yet. All of the threads which I have found, which mention the possibility of USB 3.0 and eGPUs are all from a long time ago (2013-2014) and mention the USB 3.0 to PCIe board which was released some time ago (http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/USB3380EVB.html) which won't function as an eGPU solution due to driver issues. Since then, these have been released: 1. The U3M2M M.2 PCIe SSD to USB3.0 Adapter, which allows for an M.2 PCIE SSD (M key, B/M key) to run via USB 3.0 (http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/U3M2M.html) 2. U3M2B M.2 SATA SSD to USB3.0 Adapter, which allows for an M.2 SATA SSD (B key, B/M key) to run via USB 3.0 (http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/U3M2B.html). I will get to this later. What's to stop the PE4C V4.1 (PCIe x16 Adapter) (http://www.bplus.com.tw/Adapter/PE4C V4.1.html) from running with the USB 3.0 to M.2 via M key? They both use the PCIe Gen2 5Gb/s interface. Which I think is the maximum speed of USB 3.0 as well. Back to number 2, the M.2 (B key, B/M key) to USB 3.0 adapter. The P14S-P14FP, which is a M.2 (B/M key) to PCIe X2 Edge Extender Board (http://www.bplus.com.tw/ExtenderBoard/P14S-P14F.html) which has been shown to work as an eGPU solution (https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/4l5puj/i_couldnt_wait_for_anyone_to_release_an_external/) with the Intel Skull Canyon NUC. Though, I'm not sure whether he plugged it into a B key or M key slot. What's to stop the same device working with the M.2 (B key, B/M key) to USB 3.0 adapter? I'm not an expert at any of this, and have only been researching for a few days, but I'd like to know the chances of this working. Am I missing something regarding the hardware differences between all 3 technologies, or would the USB 3.0 to PCIe driver issue still be present with the M.2 connection in between? Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks!
