Surprisingly easier than I thought.

Were there any modifications you needed to make to the drive for it to fit?

This seems like something I’d love to jump into.

Why would there be any modifications required? Buy a 2230 single sided SSD and slam it in. 2230 is the physical size. 22mm by 30mm. Same applies to the retched 2242, and the usual 2280

I have seen quite a few posts of users physically cutting the bigger variants into the smaller one because in some cases it was just an extra blank PCB beyond that small size.

I think the reason was that it was cheaper than just buying a 2230 SSD.

Ahh, I never knew that was a specific size. I haven’t bought an NVME drive like this before but read a few mentions of that need.

Many thanks for clarifying and steering me down the right path.

Have an excellent day, mate!
