for Rog Ally Handheld 2280 Replacement 2230 SSD Hard Drive Expansion High Capacity Board NVME M-Key NGFF M.2 PCIE 4.0 Adapter 90 Degree Upgrade Conversion Card Palm Internal Components

Works perfectly to add a 4TB Nvme drive to my ROG Ally Z1 XT

So far it works no issues.

I bought this for my ROG Ally, and it was extremely easy to install. Pop off the back cover, take your old SSD out, and slide this right into the same slot. Add on your larger SSD, and youre all set!

Doesn't secure. First off, it does fit the Ally well and the color looks great. However, it doesn't secure the drive. From the pictures you can see the standoff is on the correct side of the board, but it requires a screw to hold it there from the underside. So if you secure the expansion board to the Ally, you can't secure the screw to secure the Ally. Which also happens vice versa. If you secure the drive, the drive, now blocks the hole to secure the board. So I was unable to install this on my Ally. It also arrived in terrible packaging. It was just an open ESD bag, also sent in a bubble mailer. So it arrived out if the in the ESD bag and was just floating about.

It worked as intended.

This securely holds the ssd. I had the prior version that didn’t hold the ssd. See pics. Biggest issues with prior version is you had to remove a screw for batter that has a tamper sticker to get it installed. And ssd wasn’t secured so it could move out of the adapter over time. This adapter solves both problems. No need to remove tamper sticker or screw. Install this and it booted no issues.

I got this to upgrade the storage on my ROG Ally, went from the standard 512 to a 4TB drive and total time it took excluding copying over my ssd to the new one about 15 minutes. Once done i hade plenty of storage and works like a charm with no issues!

If you're one of the unfortunate ones to have your ally's SD card cook itself, look no further. This upgrade is very easy, took me less than 30 minutes to disassemble the Ally, install and reassemble. The SSD is held in screwlessly, only needs one screw to hold in the holder itself. Very simple install. Highly recommend.
