If there’s a lesson on how to eke every ounce of performance out of a single platform each generation, Porsche would probably be at the top of our list to lead that class.

Raspberry Pi Foundation figured it was high time it offered its own-brand solid state drive (SSD) in a 1TB capacity, and so that’s exactly what it has done. It joins existing 512GB and 256GB capacity options, all of which are offered in the diminutive M.2 2230 form factor at relatively affordable price points, though there is the added cost
