Because we had already bought the components, it was too late and had to live with them or find workarounds. But for a new build, it is advised to choose better components. Here are our major errors, that can be summarized as "the cost of trying to be on the edge": - The M.2 port of the board is only wired for the USB protocol 2.0 (and not USB 3.0 or PCI Express).
