What Is the M.2 Expansion Slot
Formerly known as Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), the M.2 format is technically a replacement for the mSATA standard, which was popular with manufacturers of industrial computers. The M.2 format is designed for industrial pc manufacturers to replace a variety of specific devices, do it in a tiny space, and require very little power. But actually upgrading to an M.2 drive or accessory requires a little forethought.
The Multiple Expansions Box PC TBOX-4xx1 series can be equipped with newest Intel® 11th Gen. Tiger Lake UP3 platforms. TBOX-4xx1 series supports flexible modules expansions, including 2x fast M.2 Key slots and 1x Mini-PCIe slot for specific requested industrial projects.
