DFR1250

DFR1250 is a LattePanda IOTA M.2 M-Key expansion board (NVMe SSD & AI Accel). This is a dedicated interface adapter designed to unlock the full potential of the LattePanda IOTA single-board computer. It functions by converting the board's native 16-pin FPC PCIe interface into a universally recognized M.2 M-Key slot. This direct conversion enables two critical performance upgrades: the integration of high-speed M.2 NVMe solid-state drives for expanded storage, or the addition of M.2 AI accelerator modules for powerful edge computing. Key specifications include a PCIe 3.0 ×1 communication rate (8 GT/s), support for both 2230 and 2280 M.2 form factors, and a plug-and-play design for effortless installation. This makes this adapter an essential component for developing compact servers, advanced embedded systems, and edge AI applications. Suitable for compact NAS or home server, Edge AI development and advanced robotics.
