This might be a stupid question but does anyone know:

  • if it's possible to directly plug in usb-c cables into the expansion card ports?

reduce the wear and tear on the motherboard's ports

ahhh you're right I forgot about that

hmm guess buying the expansion ports might still be better for me when thinking about the long term use then

thanks!๐Ÿค— +1

more or less a lot of the decisions of ports ultimately is because of durability. its why some people are wondering why the audio jack wasnt included and integrated into the FW16. the answer is that if it breaks, you can replace it easily. (despite how wasteful it sounds to use a port on audio)
