Well, not an NVMe maybe (yet), but at least a built-in eMMC slot.

- bitwize 2y agoeMMC is not a slot. It's a form of built-in storage. It conforms to the old MultiMediaCard interface... which was obsoleted by SD cards a LONG time ago. The eMMC variant is still used to cheaply bung in some usable flash storage into rinky-dink devices like thin clients, cellphones, and such. But for something like the Pi, if you want performance and reliability over SD cards you need a grown-up solution: NVMe or SATA SSD.
- Koshkin 2y agoOK, "socket". (ODROID-N2+, for example, uses eMMC as a faster, better alternative to an SD card.) https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-n2-with-4gbyte-ram-2/ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-n2-with-4gbyte-ram-2/
