Any 2.5 or 3 slot mPCI-e boards out there

Guest · Jan 14, 2015, 9:12 AM

I am intrigued by the apu1d4. But the fact that one slot is mSATA kills it for me. Is there anyway to hack it to 3 slots?
Any other 3 mPCIe solutions or 2 full and one half slot?? I need X86/X64. Dont include mSATA please.
Thanks

Only products i can find..I see some boards the mSATA slot is not dedicated to only mSATA.

I did find this but at ITX form factor i might as well use a regular itx board with a riser and the Routerboard RB14eu for four slots. Heck at low profile maybe no riser at all.

Itox makes very rugged gear but COM module needed too with this…

I want a manufacturer to make a 5.25" SBC with 4 mPCI-e slots. Is that too much to ask?? Feel free to use both sides of the board. At 1X per lane that is a total of 4x. Why are manufactures so stingy with these slots??

22x SATA ports!

@Phishfry:
