MINISFORUM DEG1 eGPU Dock, External GPU Docking Station for RTX 4090, AMD RX 7900 XTX, eGPU Enclosure Graphics Card Extension Support ATX/SFX Standard Power, Oculink Expansion Graphics Docking Station

I'm using this to connect an AMD R9700 AI Pro 32GB GPU to a linux workstation for local AI agentic coding. It is one of the cleanest ways to attach an external GPU and simple to setup. It has been working fantastic supporting agentic coding but you have to keep in mind that the oculink connection is only pcie x4 so you need to keep all of the model and context in the GPU VRAM so your not relying on the pcie bus during processing.

Excellent product, however does not work with Mac mini or Book Pro as TinyGPU does not work on Mac Silicon + TB5 EGPU. Seems like DEG1 is a better purchase ...Update: managed to get it work with the oculink connection, hence updating my review. Look, for anybody buying this product just be aware that the TB5 connection might cause you troubles… perhaps, we just need to wait this technology to mature

It’s good dock. Just my laptop did not handle the setup I was going with.

Works great. Just be aware the video card support bracket assumes you have a more standard video card vs a server card. No a big deal in my case, it still holds the card fine and I will 3d print a bracket holder.

No riser support bracket for the GPU. PCIe connection is wobbly and loose. I don't recommend if you plan to use for prolonged periods. Better to buy an enclosure with actual support for GPU stabilization.

Nicely built - easy setup

Metal housing, sturdy and works as advertised!

Great product

No funciona con mi Nvidia 5080, no la reconoce.

It took all of five minutes, probably less, to get the power supply and the GPU plugged in, the cables, neatly tied and the oculink connecter plugged into the mini PC. I got a low profile dual 4070 super, a very quiet Corsair PSU with a manual dial adjust for the fan and you can’t even hear it. One of the reasons I returned the oneXGPU was because the tiny fans inside were far too loud. You could hear it three rooms over. The 4070 Super is a solid mid-tier card, and it out-performs the 7800 all day long. While the set up might be slightly larger for an EGPU than the ONEXGPU, the trade-off in quiet and AAA performance - not to mention the fact that it was half the price to put together - more than makes it brilliant. This dock is plug-and-Play. Highly recommend it if you’re doing an eGPU with oculink. And you can swap the GPU to upgrade anytime too. A+

Using the Minisforum DEG-1 GPU dock with an Minisforum UM890 Pro (stock: 64GB DDR5, 1TB SSD), MSI 4070 Super 12G Gaming X Slim GPU, and a Corsair RM850x power supply. Very quiet setup. Very impressed with the performance for 1200p gaming. Non-gaming is noticeably snappier too. Setup was difficult, as the UM890 Pro required a CMOS reset several times in the process or it would hang and not boot, e.g. after moving HDMI cable to GPU. Works fine after that; the UM890 Pro BIOS must be doing some auto configuration that only works with one specific setup.

Does not work with MS-01 or any of the 3 PCI, m.2 adapters I purchased. Save your money.
