Hello,


Before buying the NanoPi R5C, I would like to know :

What is the form factor to put an ssh on the M.2: 2230 or 2242?
Is it possible to use both the emmc for the system and an M.2 nvme disk to install a VM with docker, for example?

Thank you for your answers.

Regarding the M.2 form factor for SSH on the NanoPi R5S, it supports the M.2 2242 form factor. This means that you can use an M.2 SSD with the 2242 size specification. The 2242 specification indicates that the M.2 SSD is 22mm wide and 42mm long.

You can skip using the heatsink because when using SSH, it is not necessary to put the heatsink on the SSD.
