reminds me of the PogoPlug (2007-2012). some light coverage here[1].<p>side note, the PogoPlug was one of the first hackable ARM systems, is what got me off openwrt &amp; using Debian on ARM. along with some other nearby devices, the openrd board, sheevaplug, guruplug. based off a Marvell Kirkwood chipset. i wish Marvell was still more competitive with their ARM line up, making low cost devices. the 2016 EspressoBin was a pretty good offering for the time, from an old hand (GlobalScale, makers of the openrd &amp; one of the plug devices), but a little on the slow side &amp; there hasn&#x27;t been any follow-up since. still, one of the only devices available with m.2 pcie, although that is slowly changing.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;4&#x2F;5&#x2F;2910802&#x2F;pogoplug-series-4-review" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theverge.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;4&#x2F;5&#x2F;2910802&#x2F;pogoplug-series-4-...</a>
