tbh the adapter card really looks like a simple adaptor with an usb-c/thunderbolt plug on one side. it'll take a week or two for chinese knock-off to appear on aliexpress etc.

what i wonder is:

- can those cards be locked in place?

- can i hotplug/hot-unplug them ?

They are hot swappable, and they latch in place. There is a button on the bottom of the system to release the latch.

Can they be locked in place? I'm wondering if it will withstand the pull of eg. the USB-A connection while it is being unplugged, and disconnect on the USB-C side instead.
