Also being a member of the Banana Pi family, the M2 Berry is a direct upgrade from the Banana Pi M1/M1+ that support SATA from the SoC. The SATA performance on the V40 is fitting for media related projects such as storage servers. Backed by our community, starting a project and building servers is fun and rewarding. We welcome all companies, DIYers, and tech loving people within our community! Together, we can make a difference, we can discover our passions, inspire others, and build a practical project.
All size is same as raspberry pi 3,so you can use raspberry pi 3 case for BPI-M2 Berry.
