  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tCan the storage be upgraded?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    Yes, thre are two M.2 slots. One PCIe Gen 5 x4 slot and one PCIe Gen 4 x2 slot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tDoes the GPD BOX support PCIe Gen 5 storage?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    Yes. There is one dedicated M.2 PCIe Gen 5 x4 slot, which means the BOX supports very fast NVMe storage<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tWhat ports does the GPD BOX have?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    There are two USB4 v2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 2.1 output, one HDMI 2.1 port, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two 2.5G RJ45 Ethernet ports, and one MCIO 8i port.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tDoes the GPD BOX support multiple monitors?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    There are HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, and dual USB4 v2.0 for connecting to multiple monitors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tWhy does the GPD BOX have dual 2.5G LAN ports?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    Dual 2.5G Ethernet gives the BOX more flexibility than most mini PCs. It can be useful for advanced networking, creator workflows, office setups, direct device links, router or firewall-style use cases, lab environments, or anyone who simply wants faster wired networking with more options<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li>

  • \n\t\t

    \n\t\tWhat is MCIO on the GPD BOX?\t<\/p>\n\t<\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/path><\/circle><\/g><\/svg><\/div>\n

    \n\t

    MCIO is the high-bandwidth expansion connection based on PCIe 5.0 x8, and presents it as a major part of the BOX’s appeal for external graphics and future expansion<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
