PRAISE JEBUS

had a bitch of a time until grading some Lenovo laptops because of this shit form factor. Glad to see someone is finally making something to upgrade them. Not we just gotta stop laptop manufactures from soldering ram to the mb.

How long ago was that? There are suddenly a lot of 2230 drives available this year, I assume because of the Steam Deck. WD wants a piece of that pie. ๐Ÿคค

Like 2 months ago. I found a bunch of unknown random Chinese brands, wouldn't trust them to sell to companies for upgrades though. The 2230 was either massively inflated cost due to Lenovo branded, or unknown brand.

Lots of reasonable 2230s available today from Micron, Teamgroup, Inland. The nicer ones from Samsung and other reputable brands will be double the price, yes. And even the cheap ones will be more expensive than a standard M.2 SSD. Miniaturization costs money, they're more expensive to make. We'll have to see how WD's prices are, but I assume they'll be higher like Samsung.

For me personally, I don't really care about brand. For my clients, I don't want callbacks from mystery brands like teamgroup...or inland. They really don't sound reliable. That was my issue with finding them.

Oh yeah I wouldn't get cheap brands for clients. But I do buy them for myself (and I make sure they're backed up).
