Looks like I’m on a roll with getting Framework Modules made, I’ve just finished off the schematic for a Dual M.2 Expansion Bay module, similar to what can be found in the GitHub so if you are interested in purchasing one, you can do so here for 55USD Inc shipping anywhere in the world from Australia and as usual, should be shipped within 30-60 days and you will receive updates weekly.
If you are questioning how I can do so many designs in such a quick time period, I’ve been holding onto some of these designs and waiting, I promise this will be the second last one for a month or two or who knows?
You rock!
I might get the OccuLink x8 one in the future - is my assumption right that you need to have the normal expansion bay for all your modules to work?
I’ve found these cool-looking M.2 toolless fasteners, so I’m planning on using these, and I will provide mounting holes for M.2 cards between 2230 and 22110. Renders/CAD pictures will be posted shortly.
Those look cool! It does look like they would increase clearance a bit though, or would that not make a difference in the shell, because there is enough clearance in that anyway?
Just ordered one I presume we need to order the x8 jumper from framework as well. Will be cool to have a few extra ssds. As it may sell a friend on the FW16 computer to replace his desktop…
What’s the status here? I’m ready to buy as soon as users of the initial boards are able to confirm success. (This seems like a relatively low-risk project given the mostly mechanical / pass-through nature as I [limited] understand it - but this is my production machine so I’m not able to ~alpha test)
@Josh_Cook - saw your reply on my other thread about framework curating stuff like this; replying here just to keep that about the general problem.
I’m still confused. Totally get things take time, I’m just hoping to understand what the actual status of this is - is there a concise way to describe what is/isn’t done, and whatever your current (spitballed) guestimate of a realistic ship date?
@Josh_Cook I have standard expansion bay shell Framework
If I want to use your m2 expansion bay module, then I need to order your module and Graphics Module Interposer Framework
Am I correct?
Hi Josh, given that it appears that Framework will be selling a similar module, are you still planning to produce yours? I would like to support you (edit to add - I have ordered your module and have no plans to cancel that order) - I may look into getting one from Framework in addition to the one that I have ordered from you. I have to check how many spare nvme drives I have laying around. Thank you, and have a great day!
