W2 board not available?

Banana Pi Router design BPI-W2(RTD1296)

For a new project I considered trying the W2 board, but it is not available at your Aliexpress store. Is there a special reason for this?

Thanks much

Is there any specific reason for W2? Why not try R2? or R64?

I already have an R2 an now I just wanted to give a try to the W2. besides: the R2 is a little bit too large for the intended box.

If I am not mistaken w2 have exactly same overall board dimensions. If r2 is to big, this one will be too big as well

If you want for not router use then try M64. good for server or basic desktop use.

Okay indeed I found the R2 being the same size as the W2. The M64 doesn’t help me because I need a real sata interface, not only an usb2sata thingy. On the other hand I’ve tested my setup with my R2 and it worked.

I was just curious about the W2 and its 3 pci-e interfaces - would have been nice to try. But in fact you are right, the R2 will do.
