QuoteUnfortunately, Aoostar's first eGPUs miss out on USB Type-A ports and M.2 SSD expansion

Does that matter? If you have a usb-c port, you get get as many Type-A ports via a $5 dock. Type-A ports are nice on laptops because not everyone wants to carry around extra adapters, but the moment you are already carrying around an egpu it stops mattering.

As for m2 storage, you have a USB4 and a Occulink port, if you are using one for connecting to a laptop, you can use the other for connecting to a storage.
