The ram and nand is soldered to the board. It does have SD card expansion though.
- gsnedders 14y agoAh, that sucks then. Having done stuff with a BeagleBoard with everything on an SD card (even a class 10 one!) it's horrifically slow. Though perhaps with the OS on the built-in NAND and /home on an SD card would give not-horrific performance...
- gvb 14y agoIt has 16GB of on-board flash behind a flash/SATA interface chip, basically a 16GB SSD as parts on the board (more compact and cheaper than a replaceable 2.5" drive). That is plenty big for the OS, lots of programs, and your home directory as long as you don't go overboard with pictures and videos. Those should go "in the cloud" or on a SD card.
- jfb 14y agoWhile it'd be nice to have it be fully upgradeable, I think the important thing to keep in mind here is $249.
