@vinipeito, This isn’t something you shouldn’t do. You very likely to have issues doing this. The M.2 port for your laptop is pined differently than the M2X expansion board your planning to use. The M2X expansion boards have either 2 or 3 functions depending on the board along with additional GPIO headers to expand the functionality. The M.2 port doesn’t have the software to run this let along know what your trying to do with the slot. The Function s that the boards support are P.O.E., Power over Ethernet, or a second LAN/ WAN depending on configuration. A sim card slot and a slot for a 4G Modem and then the M.2 NVME slot. You should also be aware that M.2 nvme support can vary widely for devices, connectors and other accessories.
In short your highly like to damage your system by attempting this!
@fkaraokur mostly, it is best if the SSD used is low power, due to the power limitations of device itself, if you attach a SSD, it is absolutely necessary to provide enough power, with something like the Khadas 24w USB-C PD power supply…
I remember @hyphop saying the WD Blue SSD is very low power…
@fkaraokur There are plenty of good looking NVMe SSDs of 128 GB size, that are below 30$, But I would suggest trying to bump up your limit to atleast 40$, and get something from a reputed manufacturer…
Now, I am not much experienced with Aliexpress, but here is something I have observed when buying NVMe SSDs for computers…
Cheaper SSDs most likely use a Controller that may or may not be compatible with the Device, you’ll have to play a game of luck when deciding what to buy…
Cheaper SSDs also use the lower quality MLC, and TLC flash memory,
the best quality of SSDs will have SLC flash,
(all this TLC, SLC stuff is basically how much bits of data a Flash cell can contain…)
and since you need to reflash an entire cell if you need to write 1 bit of data in it…
TLC SSDs have a very short life span…
maybe @Vladimir.v.v Can throw in some more insight, of what to buy on Aliexpress for you…
If you have already purchased an expansion board for an ssd disk, then refer to the search on the forum, I am sure there will be an answer, many users have confirmed that their ssd works.
