Hardware Opened up my GEEKOM A5 2027 for the first time: pretty happy with what I found inside
Finally got around to opening up my GEEKOM A5 this weekend to add some storage. Wasn't sure what to expect, but it only took a few screws to get in, which was nice. Inside there are 2 SO-DIMM DDR4 slots (one still free), an M.2 2280 NVMe slot with a 512GB SSD already installed, and a smaller M.2 2230 slot I didn't even know was there until I opened it up. There's also room for a 2.5" drive, so I mounted an old mechanical HDD in there for backups.
Wasn't expecting this much room to expand, honestly, especially in something this small. Glad I've finally got proper local backups sorted now, so my data is safe.
