The top section, linked by a dual PCIe flat cable, incorporates an extra M.2 PCIe SSD socket and a slot capable of fitting a 2.5-inch SATA drive, provided it does not exceed a thickness of 7.5mm. It is important to clarify that the SATA drive is not part of the package and is illustrated for reference only.

To enhance its user-friendly nature, the mini PC supports VESA mount compatibility, providing the option to securely attach the device to the back of a compatible monitor. Powered on the unit does not have a bling thing going on, just an active power and HDD LED.
