It does, for M.2, which is really great: much better than an SD card. I was writing generally about the comments I see about these types of low cost boards: we are awash in these products, which is a good thing, but many are not designed with the care, tools, talent and materials necessary to max out high value features like PCI-E, and people frequently complain about the lack of PCI-E, not understanding what is involved. Personally, I'd like to see a "headless" board forgo nearly all of the typical peripherals. Have a 1x PCI-E M.2 for boot, 1x 10/100 Ethernet for a shell, then a number of PCI-E 1x and 4x connectors for whatever one might want. Let an ecosystem of mini PCI-E boards develop around it such that one could plug-in whatever is desired: WiFi/Bluetooth/LoRa, xGB ethernet, USB 3/4/x, HDMI, MIPI, ADC/DAC, etc. It would require someone to develop a SOC intended for this, as opposed to repurposing Broadcom's phone chips and whatnot. But with so many RISC-V SOC manufacturers around now, this is no longer implausible.
