Hello,
I found that there was a M.2 SSD inside the Drive AGX Orin.

Can I replace it with a larger M.2 NVME e.g., 4T) ？
If we can replace it:
can you provide the specifications for SSD?
do we need additional system configuration in Drive OS 6.0.6?
If we cannot replace it how we can expand storage except the USB port?

Thanks

Dear @xiaolei.qin,
DRIVE AGX Orin has UFS, not M.2 NVMe.

Replacing the UFS card with another storage device is not supported. How about using USB 3.2 port for storage extension?

Hi @SivaRamaKrishnaNV ,
Thank you for your replay.
Due to our system runs on an actual car, and sometimes USB storage is not very stable, that is why we want to replace a larger SSD device.
Based on the above information, we may need to consider the USB storage solution.
