Silver lining is that at least you can buy a regular M2 NVME SSD, unlike with Xbox. Had to pay something like €150 for a proprietary 1TB drive because of my life choices T_T

For the main drive, there’s nothing proprietary about it - it’s an M.2 2230 SSD, just like the Surface laptops, Steam Deck, and many other devices. It’s just more work to get to and I believe it might be necessary to do a sector based clone through a computer to get things working.

Expansion Cards are technically a CFExpress card in a custom casing, it’s a bit funny that a CFExpress card of the same capacity actually costs quite a lot more.

I’ve looked into this back in the day and once you factor in price of the adapter it comes to a similar cost and looks really clunky. Even though looks don’t matter because it’s at the rear, I’d be worried I’d break it because it protrudes so much.

Ah, you’re referring to the storage expansion.

The economics are really in favor of the Seagate / WD Products anyways. At $280 retail for 2TB, you’re actually well below the median price of 2TB CFExpress cards.

Still would have preferred a more common format, obviously
