i'm not a hardware guy, i just wonder why so few boards include sata or m.2 ports.
I'm not a electrical engineer either, @bonifartius, but I'd guess it's summat to do with power delivery. Not that it's impossible, but with lower constraints on total power usage less things can go wrong. An NMVe could easily have higher peak wattage than the rest of the SBC and guess how I learned that!
