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

    Ahh, I never knew that was a specific size. I haven’t bought an NVME drive like this before but read a few mentions of that need.

    Many thanks for clarifying and steering me down the right path.

    Have an excellent day, mate!

    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.
