for Rog Ally Handheld Conversion 2230 to 2280 SSD Expansion Board NVME M-Key 5Pin M.2 PCIE 4.0 Adapter Upgrade Converter 90 Degree Green

Part arrived similar to another review. That stated the card was outside of the antistatic bag upon arrival. I blame both Amazon and the seller for that, on the seller side for not sealing the product package.Otherwise board works as intended install took a matter of 10 minutes unscrewing six screws, then using a guitar pic or other plastic pry tool to pop the back lid off, peeling off the black adhesive cover over the heatsink, and SSD, removing the old drive, inserting the new adapter, installing your drive of choice and/or thermal pads if that is your preference. Close it back up. Screw everything back in, good to go. No type of back cover bulge, even with m gelid pads on either side of the SSD.It’s advisable to clone your drive before hand using an SSD enclosure if you have one on hand. That process is well documented on the internet as well as various relevant forum sites.

Works perfectly for the ROG Ally Z1E. I purchased the ROG Ally X and swapped the M.2 from it to the OG Z1E for the wife. Easy to install, cost effective, and takes less than 10 minutes to put together.

Only enough very easy to install. Super quick upgrade for a fraction of the normal upgrade.

The first order I placed with them, they sent me an empty package that was still sealed but had nothing in it. The second one they sent had the board just thrown in the Amazon bag. It wasn’t broken but the board is NOT usable because the way you secure the ssd to this board is with a nut that isn’t connected to the board, but instead sits on the back of the board so its pushing up against the back of whatever you are plugging this in to and makes it sit at an angle instead of flat. Avoid purchasing from them. Returning my second order today and have wasted weeks of time.

Worked perfect to install a full size nvme ssd that I had on a previous gaming laptop. No issues in performance and would definitely recommend over spending more on the smaller direct fit drive.

Bought this and a Crucial 2TB nvme drive, and spent less that a 2tb 2230 drive that was the same physical dimensions as the 512GB that came with my Ally. No heat issues, fit in the case without any mods, and it's perfect for me. Plus, I can upgrade to 4tb now!

I have been using it for 5 months already with a 2TB 2280 M2 in Rog Ally

Installed in ROG Ally with 2TB SSD, no issues. My only complaint is the lack of care taken to ship the card. It was with (not in) an anti static bag in a bubble mailer. Very easy for the card to get damaged in shipping.
