The DEG2 uses dual host connectivity, combining OCuLink based on PCIe 4.0 x4 with Thunderbolt 5 support.

Desktop-class expansion is increasingly being folded into what used to be simple laptop docking station designs.

The Minisforum DEG2 is a compact external GPU dock that combines high-bandwidth connectivity, internal storage support, and desktop-grade power flexibility in a single enclosure.

It focuses on PCIe-level performance rather than peripheral aggregation and targets users who want storage expansion without committing to a full desktop system.
