UP Squared Pro 7100 changes compared to its predecessor, the 7000 model.
The UP Squared Pro 7000 and UP Squared 7100 boards have significant differences. The Pro 7000 measures 4″ x 4″ (101.6 x 101.6 mm) and has three M.2 slots, a SATA III connector, and two 2.5 GbE Ethernet ports. On the other hand, the 7100 board is smaller, measuring 3.54″ x 3.37″ (90 x 85.6 mm), and has only two M.2 slots, no SATA connector, and Gigabit Ethernet. These differences suggest that the new model, UP Squared 7100, might be more affordable.
