    A closer look at the board

    As shown in the photos below, the Orange Pi Development team has managed to add quite a lot of interfaces on a rather small board, measuring 89*56*1.6 mm. You also have two M.2 slots for NVMe SSDs, one Type 2230 (30×22 mm) and the rear one is Type 2280 (80×22 mm). In addition, you also have the additional storage options, such as the microSD card slot, eMMC socket and SPI FLASH: 128Mb (default).

    The board is also equipped with a comprehensive array of features, including one USB 3.0 port and one USB 2.0 host port, two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support, HDMI 2.0, MIPI DSI, MIPI CSI, a 26-pin expansion port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Essentially, it encompasses everything you could need in a small-sized board. Sure, it would be great to have two 2.5Gbps LAN ports instead of 1Gbps, but still, we think it’s not a deal-breaker.
