I'm just curious if anyone can share any experience about external PCIe devices (particularly GPU) over SFF-8654?

My Asrock Rack ROMED8 2-T only has full x16 slots and many GPUs such as the Intel ARC B50 are electrical x8.
In addition, a duo card frees up 2 slots, effectively losing 32 lanes for a single X8 card.

My goal/plan/hope is to use bifurcation x8x8 to an external enclosure with something like this: link: ebay_example



I hope someone has experience with resetting after VM/host reboots and what the experiences are in general?

Thank you in advance for your responses!
