The YUAN High-Tech carrier board with the most M.2 slots is the VPP6N0-MB AGX, with 5 M.2 slots. It's for the Jetson AGX Orin and AGX Orin Industrial, and its intended uses include surveillance/NVR. yuan.com.tw +1yuan.com.tw ↗“io.m2_slot_count=5”yuan.com.tw ↗“application.application_domains=surveillance_nvr”
Not all of those slots are for drives, though. The 5 are 1x E-key 2230, 2x M-key 2280, 1x M-key 3080 and 1x B-key 2242/3042/3052. That makes 3 M-key slots. M-key slots are usually where SSDs go. The catalog doesn't list which slots support NVMe, so check the board datasheet before you buy. yuan.com.twyuan.com.tw ↗“io.m2_slots=E-key 2230, M-key 2280, M-key 2280, M-key 3080, B-key 2242/3042/3052”

If you want to spend less than AGX Orin: the VPP6N0-S-MB NX and VPP6N0-S-MB NANO have 3 M-key slots each, as many as the VPP6N0-MB AGX. Both are also listed for surveillance/NVR use. The NANO version adds 5 Ethernet ports, 4 of them PoE, which is handy for powering IP cameras directly. yuan.com.tw +2yuan.com.tw ↗“io.m2_slot_count=3”yuan.com.tw ↗“io.m2_slot_count=3”yuan.com.tw ↗“io.ethernet_ports=5, io.poe_port_count=4”
What I couldn't confirm:
- Whether any of these boards have 2.5" or 3.5" drive bays. The catalog doesn't list that for any YUAN board.
- Which M.2 slots support NVMe or SATA.
All of these boards are rated for 0–60 °C (the Thor-based ones for −20/−25 to 45 °C), but only with airflow. yuan.com.twyuan.com.tw ↗“thermal.operating_temp_condition=Requires airflow”
