    Has anyone managed to have an additional internal drive by installing a USB stick inside the AA1?
    Ideally solderless work and without having to disable/disconnect existing internal USB devices

    Cheers

    Not sure this is possible.

    There is an unused USB port available on CN11 on the motherboard, but soldering is required I'm afraid.

    Thank you for the tip. Something to look into maybe. I have nothing against soldering but I have no knowledge of it and electronics...
