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.
A 2230 from Ali Express is very affordable. I'd definitely recommend that over any modifications.
Ewww
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!
