Are there any OCuLinks which are for NAS purposes? Like an external raid enclosure via OCuLink?

I can see this little thing being a good NAS driver if you can attach an external enclosure to it. I believe there are a few SIs which do this already, but this having OCuLink may make it easier for the average consumer to make one? Maybe?

Since it's almost pure PCIe, then you can just attach almost anything you can move via PCIe, no?

Regards.

I imagine the reason more aren’t going with Oculing over usb4 is the in-practice performance numbers certainly don’t reflect the 60% increase in link bandwidth. In fact it shows very little real gains at all, like maybe 10% if you use an 7800xt/4070 class GPU , down to like ~3%-5% on a 4060.

Oculink DAS for RAID?
If NVMe, you'd need expensive PCIe switche(s) to split the link into enough lanes for the SSDs to use.
If SATA, USB4's 40GB/s is fast enough, even for SSDs that hit the maximum 6Gb/s.

If you want fully NVMe storage, get an Asustor? It comes in 6-slot, 2x2.5GbE, or 12-slot, 10GbE configuration. (It'd be nice if they got an update with USB4)

Only one USB4 (while the processor has two native ports), two m2 slot, soldered LPDDR5 chips instead of DDR5 slots...
Is it sharing the same motherboard than Beeling SER9?
