A Raspberry Pi 500 (And 400) Systems are the version of the Raspberry PI, built for people who use Raspberry Pi as a general purpose computer, not a device for lovers.

Early PI 500 testers noted at that time that there was a place on the motherboard that uses the same components as the usual raspberry Pi 5, but on the other board that allows all ports to be on one side – for the M.2 slot, but that nothing fell for it. Pi 500+ includes a NVME slot, 256 GB of M.2 2280 SSD, but this can be replaced by drives with higher bandwidth. Apton also notes that the system is still loaded from Microsd and USB disks.
