SATA is already on the expansion headers, as is PCIe.

Perfect. BTW, the cape manager functionality is making it’s way back into mainline:

Do you have dimensions for the board? The M.2 boards come in 42mm, 60mm and 80mm lengths so we could have the flexibility to support up to 512MB SSD.

4" x 4" 12 layers. Completely full. No empty space and no altoids case.

Perfect as this could accommodate the larger M.2 form factor.
Your board is really small considering everything you have added to this board. Smaller than the Pandaboard.

Maybe too small.

I am not interested in talking about capes or enabling capes until cape manger is dead. Capes would have 240 pins as well which equals plug it in and leave it…
I’m hoping that the expansion connector is a high speed connector and not a 100 mil connector. I don’t think PCIe will work with 100 mil connector.

It is a 1.25mm x 2.54mm.

Subject: Re: Which CPUI am not changing the design. I have too far to go with what I have to make that happen without having to do a complete new layout.
Sorry, I never meant to imply changing your board. I was thinking about some adapter board.
Here is an example of an adapter board for the M.2 SSD. Accommodates various lengths.
