Yeah; they went for expansion over raw compute capacity. It's an odd tradeoff, since I think for my own needs, I would like at least one M.2 slot, and maybe an A+E-key or mPCIe for a 4G/5G modem, but I don't need two, nor USB 3. That, plus going from an 8-port switch chip to more is probably expensive.
The DeskPi Super6C is more compact and IMO a little more compute focused. Both serve a purpose. I do like the BMC included on the Turing Pi 2, and it makes me more comfortable running it in production (easy to re-flash a node remotely if I need to).
- hinkley 3y agoI watched part of the video yesterday. I think he had 4 NVMe drives in M.2 slots on the underside of the board. Their placement of the power supply is also unfortunate. They probably should move the slots over half an inch and rotate the power 90° so it doesn’t block airflow for front mounted case fans. And it really should have a 2.5 Gb Ethernet port.
