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.
None. I just used the guide on iFixit but cloned the original drive with CloneZilla to make restoration easier. I did also buy a replacement EM shielding foil so I could leave the original one on the original drive.
