m2 connector is something we are still experimenting with. The first two nodes are exposed to mini PCI express port, the third node is exposed to 2-ports 6 Gbps SATA controller. You can use the network file system within the cluster to access hard drives from other nodes.

Would it be possible to install a modern graphics card on this (e.g. some ati Radeon)? That would require some physical adapter on the one hand, and driver support for armv8 on the other.

I guess it's possible to adapt the mini PCI express port to M.2 pretty easily too. Having it PCI express lets you do other interesting things though too besides just storage.
